Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Trying to update to Windows 11; however, HP notebook has Intel(R) Core(TM) m5-6Y54 CPU @ 1.10GHz. It is saying when I do the PC health check that the device is not compatible due to the GHz.  How do you upgrade an old notebook without having to purchase a new one?  Is it worth it?  Do I just stay with Windows 10?

Hi:

 

The processor is not upgradable to one that supports W11.

 

You can stay with W10 or see the discussion below for how to bypass the W11 hardware checks so you can upgrade to W11.
