@ROY202,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

Your HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 16-a0009nj is Windows 11 eligible. It shipped with either an Intel Core i7-10750H or i5-10300H processor -both of which fully meet Microsoft’s Windows 11 hardware requirements (including TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot capability).

Here's how you can safely upgrade:

 

1. Confirm Compatibility:

• TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are required.

  • Press Windows + R, type tpm.msc, and verify "TPM 2.0" is listed.

  • In BIOS, ensure Secure Boot is enabled (F10 → Security → Secure Boot Configuration).

  • Make sure your laptop got the most recent BIOS version (F.31 Rev.A), which you can download from here: HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop - 16-a0009nj Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support.

• Your system should already be running Windows 10 v2004 or newer.

 

2. Back Up Files:

Before upgrading, create a full system backup or restore point. The upgrade process usually preserves files and apps, but a backup is always best practice.

 

3. Upgrade via Windows Update:

1. Go to Settings → Update & Security → Windows Update.

2. If eligible, you'll see "Upgrade to Windows 11 is ready".

3. Click Download and install.

   • If the option isn't visible, install HP Support Assistant and run all BIOS and driver updates, then recheck Windows Update.

 

4. Alternate Method — Installation Assistant:

If Windows Update doesn't offer it:

• Download the Windows 11 Installation Assistant from Microsoft’s official site: Download Windows 11.

• Run the tool and follow the on-screen prompts to perform the upgrade in place.

 

5. Post-Upgrade Steps:

• After installation, launch HP Support Assistant again to apply any Windows 11-specific driver updates.

• Verify that all device functions (keyboard backlight, Wi-Fi, audio, NVIDIA graphics, etc.) are working correctly.

 

Summary:

Your HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 16-a0009nj fully supports Windows 11.

Enable Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 if not already active, update BIOS/drivers through HP Support Assistant, then upgrade via Windows Update or the Installation Assistant -and you're set.

Kind Regards,
