Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

My laptop is this:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.90 GHz
x64-based processor 2 core
12.0 GB
Window 10 21H2

Windows tells me it can't upgrade to 11.  I find this appalling.  HP and Microsoft should be ashamed.  This computer is less than three years old.

Any suggestion of what to do except treat it as scrap metal?

Hi:

 

Yes, it definitely is appalling.

 

Try one of the few W11 hardware check bypass methods to upgrade to W11.

 

Such as this one, which is fairly easy to do...
