@LuisFrancisco,

 

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

 

Unfortunately, your HP ENVY x360 - m6-ar004dx (W2K56UA) cannot be upgraded with a W11-compatible processor as its system boards are either fitted with an AMD A-Series processor (A9-9400) or an AMD FX-Series processor (FX-9800P).

However, @Paul_Tikkanen paved the way for us to reliably run Windows 11 regardless, and I quote:


"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 22H2.

 

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." -end quote.

 

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,
