How To Upgrade my cpu y/o my motherboard to get Windows 11

Hi:

 

That would be impossible to do in your PC.

 

Intel processors need to be 8th gen core or newer, and your PC doesn't even support an Intel 1st gen core processor.

 

Not only that, but your PC does not meet any of the 4 major hardware requirements to get the W11 upgrade from Microsoft.

 

It does not have a UEFI BIOS, it does not support secure boot, and it does not have a TPM 2.0 security device, besides not having a supported processor.

 

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.

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.
