Product: HP Z2 Mini G3 Base Model Workstation
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I love my Z2 Mini, but unfortunately, I cannot install W11 on the E3-1245 CPU.

Is it possible to upgrade it ?

Thank You for your help !

Your PC has the best processor that was supported in the model series.

 

 If you are interested in installing W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video:

 

How to install Windows 11 24H2 on Unsupported PC (Early Access) 2024 (youtube.com)

 

Download the W24H2 ISO file and use that (3rd option).   

 

Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)

 

You'll have to repeat this procedure each October when Microsoft rolls out the new builds because a PC that does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements will never automatically get the update to the next build.

 

That's only a minor inconvenience to have continued OS support beyond October of 2025.
