Question about Auctionline.ch Lenovo ThinkPad T470

The device cannot be officially upgraded to Windows 11 as the 6th generation Intel processor installed does not fulfil the minimum requirements of Windows 11 (8th generation or higher). An upgrade is only possible with workaround methods, which are not officially supported and can potentially lead to problems.

For an official Windows 11 upgrade, the processor would have to be changed to at least an 8th generation Intel or higher. Other hardware components such as TPM 2.0 are usually available, as the ThinkPad T470 supports them. Replacing the CPU is technically complex and usually impractical as the processor is soldered to the mainboard.

To summarise: An official Windows 11 upgrade is not possible with the existing hardware. A CPU change to a newer generation would be necessary, but this is hardly feasible with this model.
