Hi:

What is the full model number or product number of your PC?

Use this guide to find that information...

Offhand, your PC's motherboard probably will not support a processor upgrade to a Ryzen 2700 processor which is the minimum requirement.

You can always use one of the W11 hardware check bypass methods to upgrade your PC to W11 as is.

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

Before upgrading 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.

That is not the model number or product number of your PC.

The product number will be arranged in this format...5ES85EA#ABU
