Hi,
You can force the installation of windows 11, in particular I do not recommend you to buy a motherboard and processor, because you must also buy memory, fan, and oder, and if you do the sum it will cost you like buying a new PC.

Hi @Kuemmerling
supported processors are :
OMEN by HP 880-011no Desktop PC Product Specifications | Assistance HP®
- TDP: up to 65 W
- Socket type: LGA 1151
- Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:ProcessorTDPIntegrated GraphicsIntel Core i7-7700 (Kabylake) 3.6 GHz Quad Core65 WIntegrated HD Graphics 630Intel Core i5-7400 (Kabylake) 3.0 GHz Quad Core65 WIntegrated HD Graphics 630
According to intel the H270 chipset of the PC supports these processors but it is something you must assume at your own risk, maybe there is some configuration in the BIOS by HP that does not allow other processors.

Hi and thank you @Resistencia!
According to Microsoft, these processor do not support win11, so I'm thinking I need a new motherboard/baseboard and a new processor.
What do you recommend? Sorry for the trouble ❤️
Thanks in advance!
