There are no hardware upgrades you can do to your notebook to have it meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements.

If you are interested in installing W11 on your PC as is, you can read this discussion for how I upgraded several HP and Dell notebook and desktop PC's that did not meet the W11 hardware requirements to W11 22H2/22H3.

You have to use the version of the Rufus utility that I zipped up and attached in the discussion (v3.18).

If the in-place upgrade fails, you should be able to clean install W11 using the bootable W11 installation flash drive you made with Rufus.

I used the method I posted in the discussion to successfully upgrade the HP 6930p which was the previous model to yours, to W11 and it worked fine using the W7 drivers for some of the devices that did not have drivers after the upgrade.
