The processor is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.
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.

Unfortunately AMD Ryzen 5 2500U processor is not included in the list of AMD processors supported by Windows 11.
You can still run Windows 11, but there will be features not supported and drivers will not be that easy to find.
Here is the discussion, with methods to install Windows 11 on the Microsoft Windows Community forum
