New CPU, Motherboard, Case or Somehow Windows 11 with I7 8700k
Posted by TrueJowns@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 14 comments
Hello, I'm looking for advice because my work will require Windows 11 to remote in once Windows 10 has officially reached its EOL.
I build this computer originally 8 years ago and pretty much just has the original CPU/Motherboard/PSU and Case left. The problem is going to be the CPU since it isn't supported by Windows 11.
Here are my current specs:
I7 8700k
32GB of Ram - Added last year
1TB NVME - Added last 2 years
1TB SSD - Original
2TB HD - Original
1,000W Corsair PSU - Original
Nvidia RTX 4070 Super - Added last year
Considering I'm able to play any AAA game still including the BF6 Open Beta at 1440p with solid performance its annoying to say the least that my work will be implementing the windows 11 requirement in order to remote in.
I'm looking for suggestions on if I should just replace the CPU,Motherboard and Case or if I should try getting Windows 11 bypassing its TPM 2.0 requirement.

If you did want to upgrade. What's your purchase country and budget. If you're in the US, are you near a microcenter?

IF the video psimwork shared with me doesn't work my budget is less than 500 for a new CPU,Motherboard and Case.

Ok, well if it doesn't, here is a list for ~$490: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sMWdVF
If you need wifi, you can switch the motherboard to the b650-s wifi for a few bucks more. Though if you already have an adapter, the AsRock board is better.

9 months ago you said it's \~490, now the price racked up to 800+

Why are you replying to a 4 month old post?
For the record yes I was able to get the 8700k to work with windows 11.

Thank you for the swift feedback. I'm going to try the video psimwork shared and have replied to BigDaddy my budget if it doesn't.

W11 has full support for the 8700k. Your hardware should support W11 perfectly fine as-is.
KhaosKat@reddit
Whatever source you got that from is misinformed. Your CPU is supported by Windows 11.

irrc you should still be able to bypass it easily
