[johnskipp]

Does anyone know if I can replace the processor in my 23-q105na,  P1K69EA#ABU, All-In-One to support Windows 11 ?

The current processor is an Intel Core i5-6400T @ 2.2GHz

thanks

John

Hi, John:

Below is the link to the product specs for your PC:

HP Pavilion 23-q105a TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop PC Product Specifications | HP® Support

Your PC's motherboard does not support any W11 eligible processors.

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.
