HP Pavilion 500-340 nf (2014) : the migration on Windows 11 is possible ?

[philc787]

My PC currently does not meet the requirements for Windows 11:

• TPM 2.0 must be supported and enabled
• The Intel Core i3-4150 CPU 3.5 GHz processor is currently not supported by Windows 11.

To keep my PC for a few more years, can the processor be easily replaced to support Windows 11? And is TPM 1.0 present on my PC? If not, what needs to be replaced?

There are no hardware upgrades you can do to your PC to have it support Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements.

If you are interested in installing W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video:

Download the W24H2 ISO file and use that (3rd option).   

Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)

You can download the free 7-Zip file utility from the link below.  The top line is for 64 bit.

7-Zip

You'll have to repeat this procedure each October when Microsoft rolls out the new builds because a PC that does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements will never automatically get the update to the next build.

Other than that, your PC will continue to get the monthly cumulative and other updates.

That's only a minor inconvenience to have continued OS support beyond October of 2025.
