OMEN 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-b0000 (2W6B3AV)

I have an OMEN 16 and want to know if I can upgrade this CPU from the 11th GEN i7 to any i9 processor. I need the i9 for specific programs that the i7 doesn't handle well.

It can be done, but the whole system board needs to be installed since the processor is soldered on the board.. A model number would be helpful there, we can find the Service Manual which will show the part number for the board in the configuration you require.
