HP Pavilion HPE h9-1150t Phoenix CTO Desktop PC Product QE445AAR
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm hoping someone else has done this so I don't have to do a lot of research or having to purchase a completely new desktop.

This has nothing to do with making a gaming computer, I'm just interested in perhaps using parts In my current desktop to build something that will run windows 11. What I have works fine otherwise, so it's not like I have a dead carcass. It boots in 9 seconds and runs like a top, CPU and some other BIOS issues prevent upgrade.

 

Based on the product I have is there a motherboard available that will fit and take advantage of front and top ports, perhaps the memory and video card, while being able to add a newer CPU that can run windows 11. Hopefully a good motherboard that can take either an i9 or i7 CPU

Hello
Warning @avalanche96 
For the moment, it is not clear enough, the user is not always aware of the consequences
We can tell you, that despite everything we can install windows 11
Only, it is not without risk ..
Microsoft, warns users, but it's not very explicit

 

Windows 11 on devices that don't meet minimum system requirements 
We risk having serious problems, probably updates, security problems, we do not really know what else

If the installation goes well for some, for others it can be complicated
Hp also might not provide any update:

Think carefully, before taking the risk, see the experiences of other users, see if it can be interesting, or if you can wait to have a new computer later, 100% compatible!
Windows 10 remains one of the best systems, and can be used for quite a while.

-----------------------------------------------

 

You have several options
As indicated force installation with a computer not 100% compatible ...
Leave as is and continue to use windows 10, while waiting to change computer
For what exactly you are asking, take into account
Difficulty finding a motherboard, which you can place in the box, may not be able to connect everything!
If you change everything, I don't know yet what it will be for windows, but a priori, you will not be able to take advantage of the free upgrade.
As long as you change the motherboard, processor, etc., it is better to find another box, which can accept a good number of motherboard formats!
