I would like to upgrade the AMD processor of my desktop PC to meet Win 11 requirements

[whoever]

The results of the MS system check indicate that I would only need to upgrade the AMD processor of my desktop PC to meet the system requirements for an update to Windows 11:

This PC doesn't currently meet Windows 11 system requirements
Check to see if there are things you can do, and if not, you'II keep getting Windows 10 updates.

• The processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11.
  More about supported CPUs - Processor: AMD A8-6410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics
• This PC supports Secure Boot.
• TPM 2.0 enabled on this PC - TPM: TPM 2.0
• There is at least 4 GB of system memory (RAM) - System memory 8 GB
• The system disk is 64 GB or larger - System storage: 1000 GB
• The processor has two or more cores - Processor cores: 4

Can I upgrade my AMD processor? Will my motherboard support one of the windows 11 'supported CPUs'? 

Please advise

Thank you.

According to the specs for your PC the processor is not upgradable.

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.
