Hi:
Unfortunately, you can't upgrade to W11 unless your notebook has W10 running on it.
Also, your notebook meets none of Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements:
Windows 11 System Requirements - Microsoft Support
Your notebook was not supported by HP for W10 and the free upgrade period from W7>W10 has expired.
You would have to buy a W10 license and product key to upgrade to W10.
