Is there an updated list for HP 2b45 motherboard supported CPUs (HP and non-HP) to execute W11 upgrade? There are only 4 to 5 listed on the HP support page, all are HP, and is more than 2 years old.

Your PC's motherboard does not support any processor upgrades to an Intel 8th generation core processor which is the minimum processor generation supported for W11.

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 22H2/22H3.
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.
