Hello,

I don't want to dump my old envy 23.

Thank you in advance.

Hi:

You can't upgrade the PC's motherboard.

It is the only one that will fit.

Your PC has the best processor that was offered in the model series.

If you were wanting to upgrade your PC so you can install W11, you can do that for free.

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, Paul.

I will give it a try and let you know.

Hi Paul,

Is there any notorious driver compatibility issue with Windows 11?

Thank you.
