Hi:

 

You can replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a 2.5" SATA SSD.

 

Your notebook does not meet many of Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements such as having an Intel 8th generation core processor, TPM 2.0 security device and support for Secure Boot.

 

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.

I installed W11 but the pc god hanged and processed very slowly. Should i make any hardware changes or buy a new one.

Hi:

 

Other than installing a 2.5" SSD there aren't any other improvements you can make to your PC.

 

I recommend you buy a new one that comes with W11.
