Product: OMEN by HP Desktop PC - 870-211nl

I have a beautiful HP OMEN 870-211nl that is running Windows 10 Home and I want to go to Windows 11 but it says my computer is not compatible? I have Intel Core I7-7700 with CPU @4.20 GHz.

Is there any way I can upgrade my computer to be able to go to Windows 11 or is there a good work around?

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

The motherboard only supports the Intel 7th gen core processors, and W11 requires Intel 8th gen or newer.

 

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.
