HI all i have late 2015 Imac with a intel core 17-6700k cpu , and a tpm 2.0 on with paralels desktop 17 , windows 10 pro runs great i play games and all sorts stuff, i was going to upgrade it to windows 11 pro when i found out this processor intel core 17-6700k cpu is not on the supported list, i ran the pc health check and i green light for everything , but the processor. so since this is a virtual environment what are the risk to updating it ? . or will windows 11 not even install , i don't no MS logic of flagging a processor more the capable of running that windows 11 os . as its faster then some of the core i5 they green lighted . Let me know if its possible how do i go about upgrading it , and also will it get updates? thanks much and have a safe summer.
