Your PC's motherboard does not support any processors that meet Microsoft's minimum processor requirements to run W11.
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 for your response. I just wanted to know if it was possible, but it seems although there is a way to adapt what I have, it requires more technical skills than I have in order to make it happen...............therefore I know my path forward will be a new computer.
