Hi:

 

Your PC's AMD Ryzen 5-2400G processor is not on Microsoft's list of W11-supported AMD processors.

You have two options:

 

1. Upgrade the processor to the AMD Ryzen7-2700, which is a supported processor upgrade according to your PC's specs.

2. Use one of the several W11 hardware check bypass methods to upgrade to W11 as your PC is currently configured.

 

I found this method to be the easiest way to do an in-place upgrade to W11 on any PC.

Before you try and upgrade to W11, I recommend that you make a system image of your current W10 installation prior to updating to W11, so you can easily reinstall W10 in the future.  I used the free Macrium Reflect software to do that, under the Backup at Home section. 

 

Along with the system image, make sure you create the bootable DVD or USB rescue drive you boot from to access the system image stored on your portable hard drive.
