I have an HP Pavilion 550-520qe CTO desktop from 2014 with an HP 2B2C 1.01 motherboard and Intel i5-4590 CPU @ 3.30 GHz 4-core and want to upgrade to a Windows 11-comatible Intel processor. Could you point me in the right direction?

Hi:

 

There are no W11 processors or motherboards that support W11 processors available for your PC.

 

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.

 

W11 should work fine in your PC.

 

I upgraded a Dell Optiplex 3020 MT PC that has the i5-4570 processor, and it works fine on W11.
