According to the serial number you posted, you have a HP Pavilion 500-223w Desktop PC.

That PC does not have a TPM 2.0 security chip and even if it did, the i3-4130 processor it has is not on the list of Microsoft's Intel processors that meet the W11 processor requirements.

Your PC's motherboard does not support upgrading to an Intel 8th generation core processor.

However, if you are happy with your PC, and if you are interested in installing W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video, which is the easiest way to do it in my opinion, and I have tried many different ways to do this during the last 3 years.

Download the W24H2 ISO file and use that (3rd option).

You can download the free 7-Zip file utility from the link below.  The top line is for 64 bit.

You'll have to repeat this procedure each October when Microsoft rolls out the new builds because a PC that does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements will never automatically get the update to the next build.

Other than that, your PC will continue to get the monthly cumulative and other updates.

That's only a minor inconvenience to have continued OS support beyond October of 2025.

Thank You for this information, I will let you know how it turns out.

You're very welcome.

I'm running W11 24H2 using that procedure on two Dell PC's with Intel 4th generation core processors.

Works fine.
