HP Pavillion Model 590-a0105ns: Want to upgrade my processor to run windows 11. I have it running though a hack install method but feel it could be much faster with an upgraded processor. HP Pavillion Model 590-a0105ns Base Board 8436 checked on HP comes up as either Clivia A6 or Clivia E2. Have asked HP but they are not helpful saying we don´t upgrade processors. Socket type could be FT4. Advice and direction of what will work with my motherboard to run Windows 11 faster than this AMD9-9425 Radeon currently fitted and working. Thanks for any assistance.
HP AI reads: The HP Pavilion 590-a0105ns Desktop PC, with the product number 3ZY14EA, uses the CliviaA9 motherboard.

The processor is not upgradable since it is an integral part of the motherboard.
If you are happy with your PC, and if you are interested in installing W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video, which is the easiest way to do it in my opinion, and I have tried many different ways to do this during the last 3 years.
Skip the part where he tells you how to get the 24H2 insider preview ISO file.
Use the latest one from the Microsoft website link that I posted below the video link.
How to install Windows 11 24H2 on Unsupported PC (Early Access) 2024 (youtube.com)
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.
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.
