A friend has the following computer running Win 10 and she wants to Upgrade to Win 11

 

Acer ASPIRE SWITCH12 ALPHA SA5-271P-52UK 12-INCH IPS QHD(2560X1440) TOUCH 2-IN-1 LAPTOP - INTEL CORE I5-6200U 8G 256G-SSD 802.11AC STYLUS REAR+FRONT (NT.LB9SA.003-F36)

 

The Win 11 checker says that it cannot be upgraded due to the CPU. Everything else is OK

 

Can the CPU be replaced or does she need to get a new Computer?

 

 

 

Thanks

Thanks everyone for your suggestions

I am reasonably proficient with computer upgrades etc, but by no means an expert.
If it were my computer I could manage the hacks suggested, however I am only offering advice to an elder person and don't want to spend too much time

I will tell her that she needs a new device and source a refurbished one. I have done that myself on a couple of ocassions

 

 

 

Again, thanks. much appreciated
