Hello - I have a HP Z400 Xeon 3520 and was hoping that it can be upgrade to run Windows 11. Can someone please let me know if that is possible? I believe I have the V2 main-board as I have 6 RAM slots. I would also be interested in upgrading the CPU regardless if that will help/not help the OS upgrade. Please let me know what additional information might be needed.
