No
most certainly not possible
Hello
[This is an automatic response
so i don't have to repeat everything
Some indications can be changed, and some may not be useful to you, I can not always adapt the answer!]
the official version of windows 11 at the time of writing this answer has not yet been released, unless I'm mistaken!
Don't rush, any new version has these problems, wait at least a little bit before you start
Check everywhere if there are problems after installation or not!
For tpm 2.0, there are many sites that are starting to talk about it.
You can start by checking the general compatibility with the microsoft tool
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11
https://aka.ms/GetPCHealthCheckApp
another tool given by the expert @WAWood gives more information (thanks to him for this find
https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11/releases
for TPM 2.0 to be activated with bios uefi, if it is possible
"In the search box or with the Windows + R key combination, we type tpm.msc."
look at the bottom, where the TPM version is shown. If we see version 2.0, our computer should be compatible with Windows 11 in this section.

possibly check for product updates

hi
I read that it would be more or less possible to add a module, but nothing concrete, nothing found for the moment
The security module, being generally integrated into the processor, there is no way to change this for many computers, incompatible processors!
https://www.pcmag.com/news/what-is-a-tpm-and-why-do-i-need-one-for-windows-11
The requirements for windows 11 may change, in the meantime avoid spending unnecessary money.

[edit]update
I don't know if we can find it in English
There is something new, still a little confused, but it seems, that the requirements are still changed
There would still be certain conditions, not too uninteresting in the end if it stays like that!
The link is translated here, I don't know if it will be clear, but in the main line it should be understandable!
translate.googlews Windows 11: your PC will be able to install it, but there is ..

As we can see in the previous link, it may be possible to install windows 11 even if the processor is not supported
update
there is the return of the microsoft check app
once downloaded and launched the scan, the result is given, for compatibility
that gives (french sorry)
if you click on specifications, a microsoft page appears
Prepare yourselves
Windows 11 isn't here yet, but will be available later this year. If you are looking forward to it, you can already do some preparations.
This PC will run Windows 11
Your PC meets the minimum hardware requirements and is eligible for a free upgrade when deploying the new Windows.
[edit]
ready ?
Download Windows 11
There are 3 options below for installing or creating Windows 11 media. Check out each one to determine the best option for you.

Warning
For the moment, it is not clear enough, the user is not always aware of the consequences
We can tell you, that despite everything we can install windows 11
Only, it is not without risk ..
Microsoft, warns users, but it's not very explicit
Windows 11 on devices that don't meet minimum system requirements
We risk having serious problems, probably updates, security problems, we do not really know what else
If the installation goes well for some, for others it can be complicated
Hp also might not provide any update:
HP PCs – Support for Windows 11 | HP® Customer Support
Think carefully, before taking the risk, see the experiences of other users, see if it can be interesting, or if you can wait to have a new computer later, 100% compatible!
Windows 10 remains one of the best systems, and can be used for quite a while.

Sorry for jumping in. Your machine does have TPM 2.0 it should show in Device Manager.
The specs of your machine is
https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c04700593
It ONLY has Intel Gen 5 processor, namely 2.2 GHz Intel Core i5-5200U with Intel HD Graphics 5500. You can't install Windows 11 because Windows 11 requires Intel Gen 8 and above.
People can trick the installation process to accept below Gen 8 CPU's. Please wait, Microsoft may release different code for lower processors. Millions and millions of machines are out there using lower Gen 8 CPU's.
Regards.

You're welcome @banhien
Obviously not everything is understood here
@Neal-Mehra Correctly reread the answer I gave previously
Re-read all the links included
everything is explained
If you have no options, your computer is therefore not compatible
You can not, install a module, in any case, following my research, no solution, for the moment
Either way, as explained, you can install windows 11 at your own risk.
But we advise you, rather to continue using windows 10, while waiting to change your computer later.
Windows 11 will not bring you much, since you will not have all the options available
