Hi all,
I have been playing with a couple of s/h Shuttle DE110SE mini PC's and
find that even with a Celeron CPU, an SSD and 8GB of RAM they run W10
pretty well ... and near silent. ;-)
But I was interested to see if I could install W11 and they go though
the W11 health check and only fail on the CPU?
I have upgraded one to an Intel Core i5-6500 (3.2Ghz) LGA 1151 'just
because' but W11 doesn't like that either, nor did it like a supposed CPU-skipping W11 upgrade I tried (all be it only one and once).
I'm aware that there are also registry hacks and for a W11 / unsupported
'play PC' I'm more than happy to do such but I just wondered if there
was a CPU that with both fit the 1151 socket and be supported by the
board / BIOS that would take W11 in a fully supported way please?
I think I understand the Shuttle BIOS initially limited the CPU to
Skylake then later included Kaby Lake (I'm now running the latest, .200
BIOS) but not sure if it would take a 9th gen i3-9100 (Coffee Lake) and
if that would be W11 compatible?

According to the Microsoft list it's Coffee Lake or later:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors
so you won't find anything that fits in a Skylake / Kaby Lake motherboard.
The three Kaby Lake processors it supports are the i7-7800X, i7-7820HQ and i7-7820X, none of which will fit. The H110 on your board is a Skylake chipset and doesn't support later than Kaby Lake.
So I think the registry hacks are your only option.

There is a workaround on this. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/windows-11s-system-requirements-can-be-bypassed-with-this-official-microsoft-workaround

That article, as well as having spyware tracking links, is a year old. MS often change their mind, so I wouldn't pay a whole lot of attention to old articles. That said, MS do describe the registry hacks themselves: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ways-to-install-windows-11-e0edbbfb-cfc5-4011-868b-2ce77ac7c70e
Reassuring that it might not look good on them if they later brick a PC,
rather than just popping up an 'unsupported' banner or restricting some
minor features (like an un-authenticated W10 install).
According to: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/installing-windows-11-on-devices-that-don-t-meet-minimum-system-requirements-0b2dc4a2-5933-4ad4-9c09-ef0a331518f1
"The following disclaimer applies if you install Windows 11 on a device that doesn't meet the minimum system requirements:
This PC doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for running Windows 11
- these requirements help ensure a more reliable and higher quality experience. Installing Windows 11 on this PC is not recommended and may result in compatibility issues. If you proceed with installing Windows 11, your PC will no longer be supported and won't be entitled to receive
updates. Damages to your PC due to lack of compatibility aren't covered under the manufacturer warranty."
Which suggests it won't receive updates, although maybe there are registry hacks for that too.
