Hi, Dave:
According to the processor upgrade information on your PC's support page, it does not support upgrades to an Intel 8th generation core processor, which is the minimum W11 Intel processor requirement established by Microsoft.
If you are interested in installing W11 on your PC as is, you can read this discussion for how I upgraded several (13) 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.
