Hi:

The problem is that the AMD Ryzen 3 2200U processor your notebook comes with does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements of an AMD Mobile Ryzen 3xxx series processor and your notebook's processor is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.

Your notebook doesn't miss the requirements by much so if you want to install W11, you can, but you would have to use a workaround that bypasses the W11 hardware checks.

I have found that using the method in the video at the link below is the easiest way to do an in place upgrade from W10>W11:

Paul,

Thank you so much for this info.  This helps me decide on my next move...

You're very welcome.

I installed W11 on all of my PC's that didn't meet the W11 hardware requirements and they all work fine on W11.
