Upgrading myHP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

[BigLuke]

My Laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC (purchased around 2009-10 I think).  It came with 6GB ram and a 466 HDD.  At the time it was the fastest windows laptop in the store (Fry's or CompUSA I think)

I am researching upgrading to 16 GB ram and 1-2 TB SSD.  It is currently running windows 7 premium (64 bit).  If I am able to upgrade the hardware will I be able to run Windows 11 home or Pro?

 I am new so if I should post this elsewhere let me know.Thanks for any advice!

Number of processor cores - 4,  Display adapter type -TI Mobility Radeon HD 4650, Total available graphics memory -3823 MB, Primary monitor resolution -1600x900, DirectX 10,
