Hi:

 

It would be impossible to upgrade your PC to officially support W11.

 

Besides not having a TPM 2.0 security device and not supporting secure boot, the processor isn't supported either.

 

You would need the motherboard from a Probook 600 G5 to run W11 and there is no way that would fit or work in your notebook.

 

I have W11 installed on 11 different HP notebook and desktop PC's that don't meet the W11 hardware requirements.

 

Some don't even have a UEFI BIOS. They all work fine on W11 too.

 

If you want to run W11 on your PC, you will have to use one of the several W11 hardware check bypass methods to upgrade to W11.

 

I found this method to be the easiest way to do that.

Before upgrading to W11, I recommend that you make a system image of your current W10 installation prior to updating to W11, so you can easily reinstall W10 in the future.  I used the free Macrium Reflect software to do that, under the Backup at Home section. 

 

Along with the system image, make sure you create the bootable DVD or USB rescue drive you boot from to access the system image stored on your portable hard drive.
