You could also try using the official Media Creation Tool to create a bootable USB, as it sometimes bypasses that CPU check. Good luck!

Can confirm. Another option is to check if your motherboard has a TPM setting you need to enable in the BIOS. Good luck!

I had the same problem. My older CPU wasn't on the supported list, so I had to use the official Media Creation Tool workaround to get it installed.

Same here. This happened to me too. The workaround did the trick, but I had to make sure Secure Boot was enabled in my BIOS first.

Same here. Yeah, that CPU is actually the issue—it's not on Microsoft's supported list for Windows 11.

Same here. Ah, got it, so it's the CPU compatibility that's the real blocker here. Hope that helps.

+1 Yeah, that's exactly it. You might want to check Microsoft's official CPU compatibility list just to be sure. Hope that helps.

Same here. You could also try using the official Media Creation Tool to make a bootable USB installer, as that sometimes bypasses the online checker.

Same here. Yeah, that's a solid workaround. Just be sure to back up anything important first, since a clean install wipes the drive.

Yeah, Ah, got it, the G4560 is the issue—it's not on Microsoft's supported CPU list for Windows 11.
