Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I own an Elitebook 840 g1 come with i5-4300U CPU. I started to realize that it is slowing quick a bit. I am planning for an upgrade as the following:

 

1) What are the Intel CPU I can put in?

2) Which SSD should fit in (Sata, Msata or the NVMe?

3) Also, planning for a clean win11 installation.

4) Is it worth the upgrade as the above?

5) What else should I be looking into for my one time off upgrade?

 

Thank in advance for any suggestion.

  • A1. Please use the list on page 1
  • A2. You can use SATA-3, not NVMe drive
  • A3. No, CPU's are not supported (Windows 11) you have to get around
  • A4. It is an old machine, if you have another machine you can play with it
  • A5. ditto.
