I have an HP Envy 700-330qe
Processor: Intel Core i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3601 MHz, 4 cores
My system check said this processor is not compatible with Win 11.
Can my motherboard be upgraded to a newer/Win 11 compatible CPU?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Welcome to our HP User Forum!
Unfortunately, your PC cannot be upgraded with a Windows 11 Microsoft approved processor.
However, that shouldn't prevent you from upgrading to W11 using the steps outlined in this link: https://dongknows.com/steps-for-windows-11-upgrade-on-unsupported-hardware/.
All of my legacy HP desktop PCs -except one laptop, have been upgraded to W11 using the aforementioned method and have been working wonderfully. No complaints whatsoever. I would highly recommend it.
Hope this was helpful.
Kind Regards,
