The processor is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.

 

You may be able to upgrade from W10>W11 on your PC as is, but you would have to use a workaround that bypasses the W11 hardware checks to do so.

 

If you are interested in doing that, watch is video which is probably the easiest way to do an in-place upgrade from W10>W11 on unsupported hardware.
