    What do you think, can you somehow manage that you can use the current MSI Center on unsupported systems? I am currently using an MSI GE76 10UH Tiamat and this is not supported, even though it is just one year old. Only devices with the 11th Intel generation or AMD Ryzen 5000 devices are officially supported. Everything else from the 8th generation must use the old Dragon Center ...

    Maybe someone can mod it :)

    well its pretty easy to avoid the restrictions (Open Regedit, navigate to HKEY_Local_Machine > Hardware > Description > System >Central Processor. If you have multiple cores, you will need to choose 0. You can modify the “Processor Name” string to the name you choose.) so by this trick you can full program and its gonna work with no problems. lets say u have 10700k cpu so you just change it to 11700k and the program will work. BUT IT'S TEMPORARY. After you reboot your system it will say that its unsupported on your system coz the name of cpu will get back to your oryginal model. I tested MSI Center on my cpu and it was working without any issues tabs, monitoring, oc, and fanny thing is even when i tricked the program in msi center it was saying that my cpu is 10gen i7 with my correct model. I guess they made that to force ppl go on new laptops if you want newer software ;) You can try but just like I mention it before IT'S TEMPORARY trick and its not worth it.

    @NeXt3R As you can see, it is possible, and that just by changing the CPU name ... unbelievable .. And yes, the 10th generation is not listed in the Dragon Center, I am aware of that ... this is a mistake by MSI , because it is linked on the product page.

    your welcome ;) but I still stick to the dragon center since this method is a temporary one.

    Glad to see that my old trick still works on MSI software lol.

    Was doing this when i had a working GT72-6QD when the original updated version of Dragon Center before it got renamed again.

    Its more then likely now Device ID's or CPU ID's in a .dll file which edited might work.

    To be honest it will be nice to see if anyone will be able to make some mod for "unsupported officialy" CPUs

    keep in mind that this SW - can automatically install FW updates
    ---adds custom setup in BIOS
    --overdrives windows power scheme or custom OC setting "next OC emulation"
    --adds remind / data collection ,.,.etc

    frequent updates - crippled system performance "need clean update or resets"
    and all 10TH cpu -- DC UWP ?? is in list or what you mean ???
    .,,.some devices gets update prompt from DC UWP -- MSI center "bug or some devices is supported for 10TH in CENTER"

    // for all function and MSI recommend setup -- correct sw version "no mod"
    or device not must works ideal.

    for custom MAX OC -- **** MSI bloatware :D
