Hi:
Unfortunately, there aren't any W11-supported processors you can upgrade to that meet Microsoft's requirements.

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.
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.
Then when W11 23H2 comes out, you should be able to use the same process with the new ISO file that will be available in Mid-October.

Hi:
Your PC's processor is not on Microsoft's list of supported processors.
