Microsoft blocked setup /product server

..Run Windows 11 setup as you normally would.

Hit Shift-F10 during the language setup page; this opens the command prompt.

Type regedit and press the Enter-key; this launches the Registry Editor.

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup.

Right-click on Setup and select New > Key.
Name the key LabConfig.

Right-click on LabConfig and select New > Dword (32-bit) value.
Name it BypassTPMCheck.

Double-click on the value and set it to 1.

Right-click on LabConfig again and select New > Dword (32-bit) value.
Name it BypassSecureBootCheck.

Double-click on the value and set it to 1.

Right-click on LabConfig and select New > Dword (32-bit) value.
Name it BypassCPUCheck.

Double-click on the value and set it to 1.

Close the Registry Editor window.

Close the Command Prompt window.

Continue with setup.

The changes bypass the TPM, Secure Boot and Processor checks of Windows 11’s setup.

Note that you may also bypass RAM, Storage, and Disk checks.

BypassRAMCheck – Set to 1 to bypass RAM checks.

BypassStorageCheck – Set to 1 to bypass storage requirements checks.

BypassDiskCheck – Set to 1 to bypass disk checks…

It’s so crazy that MSFT is blocking upgrades based on the CPU. My I7-6700K is faster than my I9-12900K. Both of them support TPM. And TBH, Win11 is just an Apple Appearance Update, which should be called Win 10.1.

you said just TPM but not TPM 2.0

official TPM requirement for Win11 is TPM 2.0, so you did not specify which version of TPM your Intel i7-6700K cpu has (which btw that cpu is a 6th gen Intel core processor [aka. Skylake])

It’s TPM 2.0. I also have an I7-7700K and it supports TPM 2.0 as well. It’s really EITHER the chip or the Motherboard. So, lets just say both computers pass the Win11 check in all cases EXCEPT the CPU model.

A TPM, or a trusted platform module, is a physical or embedded security technology (microcontroller) that resides on a computer’s motherboard or in its processor.

While the use of TPM technology has been part of enterprise IT for more than a decade, this is one of the first instances of Microsoft requiring its use for everyone, including for small and medium-sized businesses and consumers.

ETA: I bypassed the Win11 setup on the I7-6700K with Rufus and it is just as fast in Win11 as it was with Win10. I see absolutely no difference.

I checked this out and Skylake is correct.  However my desktop CPU is also “Skylake” but is a the in the seventh generation.  Seems odd.  Two different generations with the same ID word.  I’ve never noticed this “name sharing” between generations before.  Comments?

This from my Settings/System/About:

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7820X CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz

Nirsoft Core Temp agrees.

Desktop mobo Asus TUF X299 Mark 1, CPU: Intel Core i7-7820X Skylake-X 8-Core 3.6 GHz, RAM: 32GB, GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti 4GB. Display: Four 27" 1080p screens 2 over 2 quad.

Intel’s Products formerly Skylake list shows there were even a few 9th gen Skylake CPUs.

Note: all the 9th gen CPUs were from Intel’s HEDT (high-end desktop) processor family and, like your i7-7820X HEDT, are referred to as Skylake-X to differentiate them from standard 6th gen Skylake CPUs.

Great resource.  Thanks!
