Product: HP Slimline Desktop - 290-a0047cb

How can I find out what motherboard to install in my HP Slimline Desktop - 290-a0047cb so it will be windows 11 compatible?  It currently has the AMD A9-9425 Radeon R5 5 Compute Cores Processor and this is not compatible for windows 11 . I would like to replace the whole motherboard but I don't know which one to get or where to find the information as to what to replace it with

Hi:

 

Unfortunately, there aren't any motherboards that I know of for your PC that would support W11.

 

Please see the method I have used to in-place upgrade several HP and Dell business class notebook and desktop PC's to W11 22H2 that don't meet the hardware requirements.

I had about an 80% success rate using this method.

 

If it doesn't work and you really want to install W11, you can use the bootable USB flash drive you made to clean install W11, and it should work just fine. 

 

I had a 100% success rate with that on the PC's that wouldn't do an in-place upgrade.
