Product: HP Pavilion dv7t-6c00 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz, 2201 Mhz, 4 core(s) 8 logical. Wondering for security purposes, am I able to upgrade to windows 11 or even 10 or would I be better off getting a new computer? I currently have windows 7 home premium 64 bit, 8GB RAM.

Your notebook doesn't meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements of an Intel 8th generation core processor, having a BIOS that supports secure boot, and a TPM 2.0 security device.

 

If you are interested in installing 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 22H2/22H3.

 

You have to use the version of the Rufus utility that I zipped up and attached in the discussion (v3.18).

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.
