@tjocala,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

Yes, you can reliably and effectively upgrade your PC to run Windows 11 by using one of many proven methods.  For example, I would recommend the following YouTube instructional video with easy-to-follow instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSrmhhigEhY&t=332s&ab_channel=Tips2Fix.

The PC does not meet Micrsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements of needing a TPM 2.0 security device and an Intel 8th generation core processor.

 

If you are happy with your PC, and if you are interested in doing an in-place upgrade 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 tried many different ways to do this during the last 3 years.

 

How to Install Windows 11 on Unsupported PC in 2025 (New Easiest Method, No CMD)

 

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 each October when Microsoft rolls out the new builds because a PC that does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements will never automatically get the update to the next build.

 

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.

I updated the older HP Pro 6200 MT to W11 24H2.

 

Works great.
