Hi,

I am looking to upgrade my CPU to match Win11 requirements.

Mother Board:
MSI Z170A

CPU:
Inter i7-6700k Skylake

I am looking at buying this CPU replacement :

is LGA1151 all I have to worry about ? This will work with my MSI motherboard right ?

I checked on microsoft's website and seems that this model is supported

That's great... any recommendations under £500 ?

Yeah I may do that just worried it may cause some weird problems (it's a work PC I need it rock and solid). Seems like running win10 for few more years and full upgrade later is a plan for me.

Thanks for all suggestions/advise. Appreciated
