Hi, Willem:

 

Your PC's motherboard cannot support any processors that meet Microsoft's minimum processor requirements of an Intel 8th gen core or newer processor.

 

You can upgrade to W11 on your PC as is, but you would have to use a workaround that bypasses the W11 hardware checks so you can do an in-place upgrade from W10>W11.

 

This video shows an easy way to do that.

Windows 11 25H2 runs just fine on my HP desktop that has an i5-6500T processor.
