Nọ The series only has 4 options for processors

• AMD A10-7300 (1.9 GHz, up to 3.2, GHz, 2 MB L2), quad core 20 W, Max DDR3L-1600
• AMD A8-7050 (2.2 GHz up to 3.0 GHz, 2 MB L2), dual core 15 W, Max DDR3L-1600
• AMD A6-6310 (1.8 GHz up to 2.4 GHz, 2 MB L2), quad core 15 W, 1600 MHz DDR3L
• AMD E1-6010 (1.35 GHz up to 1 MB L2), dual core 10 W, Max DDR3L-1333

and all of them are not on the following list

There for no option for you to upgrade to Windows 11.

You can use the method in the discussion below to install W11 through bypassing the W11 hardware check requirements:

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.

I upgraded several HP and Dell notebook and desktop PC's that did not meet the W11 hardware requirements to W11 22H2/22H3 using the Rufus utility.
