Hi:

 

Your PC's motherboard would not support a processor upgrade to a minimum of an Intel 8th gen core processor, which is what you would need.

 

Your PC's motherboard probably won't support anything beyond what you have now.

 

If you are interested in installing W11 on your PC, you would have to use one of the few W11 hardware check bypass methods so you can do an in-place upgrade to W11.

 

I found this method to be the easiest way to do that.
