Upgrade processor for windows 11

[Mark_db]

I have an older desktop HP Pavilion Power Desktop - 580-137c

Model 580-173c   Product # 2HJ51AA

I didn't find anything about the processor on the HP support site.

Is it possible to upgrade processor and if needed motherboard to make it Windows 11 compatible.

The rest of my system is compatible per the Microsoft PC health app check

thanks

Your PC's motherboard cannot support any processors that meet Microsoft's minimum W11 processor requirements.

You can easily upgrade to W11 on your PC as it is for free by watching this video which employs a workaround that bypasses the W11 hardware checks.
