Your notebook does not meet any of Microsoft's W11 hardware requirements besides the processor.
You cannot upgrade the processor to the minimum one required which would be an Intel 8th generation core processor.
Your notebook does not have a UEFI BIOS.
Your notebook does not support secure boot
Your notebook does not have a TPM 2.0 security device.
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.
