OMEN by HP Desktop PC 880-p0xx AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core Processor

Hi, I have an OMEN by HP Desktop PC 880-p0xx with AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core Processor. What do I need to do to upgrade the processor to use Windows 11?

Hi:

 

What is the product number of your PC?

 

You can find your PC's product number by clicking on the search icon on your Windows taskbar.

 

Type: System Information

 

The System information app should show up.

 

Run the app and the product number of your PC will be found on the System SKU line about 1/4 of the way down on the report.

 

I have to look up the motherboard specs to see if your PC's motherboard supports a processor upgrade to the Ryzen 5 2600 or Ryzen 7 2700.

Hi:

 

Below is the link to the product specs for your PC:

It comes with a HP 'Higos' motherboard which supports up to the AMD Ryzen7-1800X processor which does not meet Microsoft's minimum AMD W11 processor requirements.

 

If you are happy with your PC, and if you are interested in doing an in-place upgrade from W10 to W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video, which is the easiest way to do it in my opinion, and I have used several different ways to do this during the last 3 years.

Download the W24H2 ISO file and use that (3rd option).

 

Download Windows 11

 

You can download the free 7-Zip file utility from the link below. The top line is for 64 bit.

You'll have to repeat this procedure if and when Microsoft rolls out the new W11 builds because a PC that does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements will never automatically get the update to the next build.

 

They have been releasing new W11 builds each October so far.

 

Other than that, your PC will continue to get the monthly cumulative and other updates.

 

That's only a minor inconvenience to have continued OS support beyond October of 2025.

 

If things don't work right on W11, you have 10 days to easily go back to W10 as long as you don't delete the W1 upgrade files or the Windows.old folder.
