Upgrade Processor to run Windows 11

[bearsfan64]

My HP Pavillion All in One was bought in 2019.  Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700T CPU @ 2.90GHz is my processor.  I am wondering if there is a processor change I can make so this will run Windows 11.  Also I have 12GB of RAM and was wondering how much RAM I can install in this device.

Hello

Windows 11 on devices that don't meet minimum system requirements 
We risk having serious problems

If the installation goes well for some, for others it can be complicated

Think carefully, before taking the risk, see the experiences of other users, see if it can be interesting, or if you can wait to have a new computer later, 100% compatible!
Windows 10 remains one of the best systems, and can be used for quite a while.

I have performed the installation with a compatible computer ..
And I can not take full advantage of the more or less interesting features, because you have to have a certain material

So far, so there is nothing extraordinary about this system
So if the computer is not compatible, you have little interest in using it ..
In some cases, we can have more problem than something else (performance etc), it is better to wait until most of the bugs are solved.
And even better to have a 100% compatible computer, in order to be able to take advantage of the available features
Now, if you want to give it a try, first plan to use specialized software, and make a ghost copy of your installation.

You will not be able to install a compatible processor
you would have to force install windows 11
there are several tutorials on the net, it's up to you
