Does an HP Compaq Pro 6305 SFF support UEFI bios?

I have an HP Compaq Pro 6305 SFF computer and I don't know if it supports UEFI bios or not so I can upgrade to windows 11.

Hi

Yes, it has a UEFI BIOS but the processor and TPM 1.2 version are not supported for W11.

If you want to upgrade to W11 you would need to use one of the several W11 hardware check bypass methods.

I found this method to be the easiest way to do that.

Before you upgrade to W11, I recommend that you make a system image of your current W10 installation prior to updating to W11, so you can easily reinstall W10 in the future.  I used the free Macrium Reflect software to do that, under the Backup at Home section. 

Along with the system image, make sure you create the bootable DVD or USB rescue drive you boot from to access the system image stored on your portable hard drive.

Well I have waited about 10 mins and its still at 46% on checking for updates.

Its later and i did really good at a part but it was stuck at a percentage for like an hour so I closed it and I'm now sure that my pc is a mix of windows 10 and 11...... and if I restart my pc it's probably gonna decide to start doing dskchk and every time I try its like a 30% chance the windows install shows a 50% chance it actually loads and a very low chance it would completely finish

I have attempted about 12 or 13 times so far doing this and none of them fully finished.

Now it's 9:09 PM for my time and I started about 2 hours ago and its 59% complete on installing windows 11. I have no idea how long it will take but I know that it will take a while.
