Can't Run Windows 11

[SRFL]

I don't want a new computer but have an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700T CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz, and can't run Windows 11. What should I upgrade to? Thanks for the help.

Hi:

That's the Windows product ID.

Run the Windows system information app.

The PC's product number will be on the System SKU line in the report.

Hi Paul - Thank you for your help.  Here is the correct information:  System SKU Z5L83AA#ABA

You're very welcome.

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

HP Pavilion All-in-One - 27-a210 PC Product Specifications | HP® Support

The PC already has the best processor HP offered, and the motherboard does not support any W11-capable 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.

Thank you!  Great information and most appreciated.
