Hi @wonderingone 

 

The PC has a B350 chipset.

Chipset
AMD B350 FCH

 

These Chipset support Ryzen Pro 3000 series processors, they are compatible with windows 11.

AMD Socket AM4 Chipset

 

The problem is that they are not certified by HP, so if you use them, it is at your own risk.

Hi, @wonderingone 

 

This user benchmarking website for the model does not show anyone that has tried to upgrade the processor beyond what HP indicates is supported in the 35W model.

If you don't want to risk money on buying a processor that may not work, and 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.
