Is there an upgrade path for the HP M6-AQ105DX to a newer CPU so I can run Win 11 on it?

@GregorAH,

 

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

 

Your HP ENVY x360 - m6-aq105dx (W2K44UA), according to: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05315774, and: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05098448.pdf, is fitted with a motherboard -called system board by HP, which has a non-removeable 6th or 7th gen Intel processor, depending on which system board your laptop came with.

 

The answer to your question is: there is no upgrade path to a Microsoft-approved Windows 11 processor for your laptop.

 

That shouldn't stop you from installing Windows 11, though.  There are a number of reliable and proven methods to run W11 on your laptop, such as explained step-by-step here: Windows 11 Upgrade on Unsupported Hardware: The Cool Trick | Dong Knows Tech.

 

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,
