HP ZBook 17 G3 IDS Base Model Mobile Workstation
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi!  I have a HP ZBook 17 G3 Laptop with the Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz and I'm trying to upgrade it to use Windows 11.  I read your post at: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/ZBook-17-G3-Intel-i7-6th-gen-c... . The post indicates that I must purchase a new motherboard and CPU to do the Windows 11 upgrade.  The computer works perfectly and I have added RAM and drives. What motherboard and CPU do you suggest to continue using my RAM and other Hardware components?  Thank you!

 Therefore new system board or CPU won't help. If you wish, please try

 

               How can I force to install Windows 11 on unsupported PC?
