Product: HP Pavilion All-in-One - 27-a275na
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

The All in one HP PC I purchased 7 years ago has a processor that is not compatible with Windows 11.  Having recently been made redundant I am looking for a cheap solution to upgrade the processor rather than having to buy a brand new PC.  Does anyone know if this is a service HP offer or any other well known company.  There appear to be lots of smaller independent companies that may be able to do this but not sure if these can be trusted..... Any advise greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, your PC's motherboard cannot support any W11 processors in Microsoft's W11 Intel processor list.

 

The only way to run W11 on your PC is to use a workaround that bypasses the W11 hardware checks.

 

This is the easy method that I use to do an in-place upgrade from W10>W11 on PC's that don't meet Microsoft's W11 hardware requirements.
