Hi:

 

Your PC only supports the Intel 4th gen core processors.

No AMD processor would be supported in your PC, even one contemporary to an Intel 4th gen core processor.

 

If you are interested in upgrading your PC to meet Microsoft's W11 hardware requirements and if you want to install W11 on your PC as is, you can read this discussion for how I upgraded several HP and Dell notebook and desktop PC's that did not meet the W11 hardware requirements to W11 22H2.

If the in-place upgrade fails, you should be able to clean install W11 using the bootable W11 installation flash drive you made with Rufus.
