Will be attempting to upgrade my old notebook to install Win 11. Meet all except CPU speed. What would be a compatible CPU to install? Already boosted the RAM to 16, SSD to 1T. Welcome suggestions

Your notebook's processor is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.
There aren't any motherboards in your notebook's model series that meet Microsoft's requirements for W11.
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
