HP Notebook - 15-bw094na
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My HP  Pavilion 15-bw094na laptop is six years old, but Windows will  not install the Win 11 upgrade. It reports the CPU is not on the Microsoft approved list.

Thus, I want to find which CPU are supported by the system board HP8332 28.28 so I can upgrade to a unit that Microsoft will upgrade.

Your notebook's processor is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.

 

There are no motherboards HP offered in the 15-bw0xx model series that support any Microsoft approved W11 AMD processors.

 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.
