Optiplex 5040 SFF Cpu Upgrade
I have a Optiplex 5040 SFF with a Core i3-6100 Gen 6 CPU. Can this be upgraded to a CPU that meets Windows 11 requirements.
Regards Bill

The 5040 is stuck with 6th gen CPU. Need at least 8th gen for Win11.

There are workarounds to bypass requirement checks, but I'm not a familiar with those not having done it.
