I am trying to upgrade my CPU in my l17-ca0014ds laptop so I can upgrade to Windows 11 (64) from Windows 10 (64).
Any suggestions?

Hi:
Since the processor is an integral part of the motherboard, it is not upgradable.
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 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.
Otherwise, your only other option would be to replace the motherboard with one listed in chapter 3 of the service manual that comes with a W11-supported processor (Ryzen 3xxx or newer).
