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.
