I think anything newer should work though.

I've got a Ryzen 3700X and my computer told me it couldn't do the upgrade, either.

Your CPU is supported. It’s probably just a matter of enabling the fTPM (firmware TPM) option in your motherboard’s BIOS settings, which would satisfy Windows 11’s TPM “requirement”.

Dang. Is your board in the 300-series? Maybe it's that?

I haven't checked, but I think my 5600 is compatible. Maybe I'll check sometime, but I'm not looking forward to the mountain of patches I'll need just by booting into it again.
