Your notebook does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements of an Intel 8th gen core or newer, processor, a TPM 2.0 security device and secure boot.

 

A BIOS update would do nothing to solve those issues.

 

You can upgrade to W11, but you would have to use a workaround that bypasses the W11 hardware checks.

 

If you are happy with your PC, and if you are interested in installing W11 24H2 via an in-place upgrade on your PC as is, watch this video, which is the easiest way to do it in my opinion, and I have tried many different ways to do this during the last 3 years.
