Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Windows 11 CPU Compatibility

[madjo1983]

Hi,

By comparing list of CPU compatible with Windowse 11 provided by Microsoft https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-24h2-supporte... and the one for the Asus Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard CPU compatibility https://www.asus.com/us/supportonly/z170%20pro%20gaming/helpdesk_cpu/, I have no common CPU.

I already bought a TPM chip to be able to switch to W11 but now I'm struggling with the CPU compatibility.

Currently I'm with Intel® Core™ i5-6600 Processor.

Does it mean that the Asus Z170 Pro Gaming cannot have W11?

Kind regards,

Hey everyone, I recently upgraded my system to Windows 11 on my Asus Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard, but I’m facing some performance issues:

:cross_mark:High CPU usage during gaming
:cross_mark:Frequent FPS drops in Nulls Brawl Son Sü 
:cross_mark:Random system freezes while multitasking

I've updated my BIOS, drivers, and even tried different power settings, but the issue persists. Could this be a CPU compatibility issue with Windows 11, or is there a specific setting I need to tweak? Would appreciate any suggestions!
