My PC currently has an Intel Core i7-4770 Processor this particular processor needs to be upgraded in order to run Windows 11. What are the must have specifications, I would need to choose the correct processor? I have visited the Microsoft and HP websites where they provide you with recommendations on how to pinpoint the processor needed; however, the list on Microsoft is quite long (CORE) and I am trying to narrow it down in order to buy the appropriate Intel processor. Please let know. I thank you in advance and will appreciate any insights you can share with me.

@Mr_PC , welcome to the Community.
Here are the Motherboard Specifications for your computer. If you look at the section titled "Processor upgrade information" there is a list of compatible processors. These have all been fully tested to assure they are compatible with your motherboard. Any other processor will most likely not work.
From what I have read, computers that are shown not to be compatible with Win 11 can still run it by doing a clean install.
