Hey, The max temp on that cpu is 100 degrees C, Personally mid 90s would scare me but its technically within limits. Laptop cpu's of that stature usually run pretty hot in laptops.

fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, and 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2.

Modern CPUs will slow down to protect from overheating. You can notice a drop in performance. All you need is to use an air spray or blower to clean your laptop from dust accumulated in the ventilation slits. If you can open one or two covers to clean it even better. If you are a little more advanced you can clean the thermal paste between the CPU and the metal heat sink and put some fresh paste. Don't overdo it or you will keep heat inside rather than dissipate it (green house effect). Put just the size of a pea at the center. The idea is that it will spread by pressure and create a thin coating on the CPU surface. You don't want it to overflow. If you are not confident to do it yourself ask a more experienced friend or a professional.

Legacy MBR installation, no TPM, no Secure Boot, no WDDM 2.0 graphics drivers, no SSE4.2, cannot get more unsupported ;) This is only my test laptop. I had installed Windows 11 here before upgrading my main PC. For my main PC I use everyday see my 2nd system specs.
Have you checked to see if the laptop has any dust build up. You could try blowing out the vents with a can of electronic dusk cleaner. My HP laptop use to run on the very warm until I found a reg hack that added an extra setting to the power settings that brought the temps down. I don't remember what the reg hack was. I found it by searching; HP laptop runs hot. When I get a chance, I'll start my laptop and see what the extra setting is.
I also have read cases of AMD systems that falsely report higher temperatures because of some incompatibility. Upgrading to the latest BIOS fixes that. You could try this too. Upgrade to the latest BIOS and then update all your drivers. This should improve compatibility and performance.

Thank you all, it was very helpful, the laptop is almost new I will keep an eye on it and try different Power Plans and see how it fares, anyway, much appreciated.
Yes, I have seen laptops nearly burnt because the owner had it on the couch or his/her lap and could not dissipate heat. Combine that with dusty ventilation slits...

Minimum temperature should not be of concern unless you use liquid cooling and you risk breaking the CPU. The maximum temperature must be as low as possible, certainly not higher than 75 degrees Celsius.

How you define hot? Hee in Greece up yo about 25 degrees is normal, 30 or more is considered hot and close to 40 is unbearable. I think residents of hotter countries such as Egypt would consider 40 OK.
