My laptop is not compatible with the windows 11 update because of my processor I am trying to find out if I can upgrade it

The only way to upgrade the processor would be to replace the motherboard with one that is listed in chapter 3 of the service manual that comes with one of the Ryzen 3xxx series processors.

You would also need a different heat sink listed in chapter 3.

 

It would probably cost less to buy a fully supported W11 notebook than to upgrade yours.

 

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.

 

I installed W11 using the above procedure on a HP 255 G7 notebook which is the HP business notebook equivalent to the 15-db0xxx model series and mine only has the AMD A4 processor.

 

W11 works fine on it.
