qemu-qvm: need an 8th gen CPU

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

I need an 8th gen CPU to get Windows 11 to upgrade properly.
Which one of qemu-kvm's cpu's is 8th gen?

Many thanks,
-T

The i440FX seems to work, but I've only tested it very briefly so YMMV.

W11 apparently thinks my i440FX is a 7th gen

W11 will install on a 7th gen, bu will not upgrade
a previous W11 unless you have an 8th gen.

I should clarify that I haven't tested W11, just checked that the TPM
thing was detected.

I am trying to find it still.  Made a new post on it.

Is your underlying hardware at least an 8th generation cpu?
