Windows 11

I have an HP Provilion Desktop 590 P0xxx. Can I upgrade to Windows 11?

You should be able to if your PC has an Intel 8th generation Core or newer processor or an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 processor or newer and has a TPM 2.0 security device showing up in the device manager under a Security devices category.

If it does not, you would have to use a workaround to install W11 which bypasses the W11 hardware checks.

My PC has AMD Ryzen  3 2200G Processor, 8 GB DDR4-S666 SDRAM. Would this be good to upgrade Windows 11?

The PC should be able to run W11 just fine with the workaround I use.

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.

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

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 or a similar one 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.

Your PC may also be able to support a processor upgrade to a W11-supported processor, but you would also need to install a graphics card in the available PCIe x16 slot if your PC only comes with the onboard AMD Vega graphics.

If you are interested in that option I would need to know 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.

Post the product number you see there.

I gave you the procedure in my last reply.
