Product: HP Z420 Workstation

my Z420 has an Intel Xeon E5-1620@3.6 GHz processor.  I'd like to upgrade the processor to be able to upgrade to Windows 11.  I found the list of supported Xeon processors.  What processor is recommended?  Has anyone done this?

There aren't any supported W11 processors that will work in your PC.

 

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.
