I would appreciate anyone getting back to me with details of a processor upgrade that will allow me to run Windows 11 as this is the only item preventing me upgrading to W11 on the HP Pavilion Desktop - 510-p199na Serial: [Personal Information Removed] Product: Y1B84EA
My Current Processor below works fine but as W10 will soon lose support I think it is time for change.
AMD A10-9700 RADEON R7, 10 COMPUTE CORES 4C+6G, 3500 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date AMI F.18, 31/03/2017
SMBIOS Version 3.0
BaseBoard Product 822A

Your PC comes with an AMD 'Willow" motherboard that does not support any of Microsoft's W11 supported processors--the minimum W11 AMD processor being the Ryzen 5 2600.
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.
Skip the part where he tells you how to get the 24H2 insider preview ISO file.
Use the latest one from the Microsoft website link that I posted below the video link.
How to install Windows 11 24H2 on Unsupported PC (Early Access) 2024 (youtube.com)
Download the W24H2 ISO file and use that (3rd option).
Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)
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.
