“I have a Dell XPS 8900 Desktop with Intel Core i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz - 3.41 GHz Processor. I have 64 bit Windows 10 Pro, Version 21H1 with 64GB RAM. Is the Intel - Core i7-10700K compatible with my machine? Will it get me to Win 11 or do I need more?”

Short answer, no an intel 10th gen cpu is not compatible with your pc. The socket on the motherboard is not the same. You would need to upgrade the motherboard also. Unfortunately Dell is typically not a machine that can be upgraded easily.

It is important to always check hardware compatibility with your manufacturer before any modification, however, based on the description you have provided, it seems that it may not be possible to upgrade the processor without upgrading the motherboard. For further information, please contact Dell support center. Thank you for choosing Intel
