I have a HP ProDesk, DESKTOP-BCHMGH7, with Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20 GHz, and 16.0 GB (15.9 GB usable), 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor, I want to upgrade my CPU, Max out my RAM, Video/Sound card if possible and add wireless Bluetooth is it possible to do so, I haven't built or upgraded a computer since 2002 when I was in the ARMY. Is it possible that I can do this with my Desktop, and install Windows 11?

There are no W11-supported processors you can upgrade to.
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.
What is the product number of your PC?
You can find the product number by running the Windows system information app.
The product number will be found on the System SKU line.
