I have the HP Envy Phoenix Desktop, [Personal Information Removed]. I can't upgrade to Windows 11 because the processor is not supported. What processor can I get that will fit in the socket, and is supported by the bios on the motherboard.

There are no processors that meet Micrsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements that will work in your PC's motherboard.

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 22H2/22H3.
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.
