You likely can't upgrade your laptop to Windows 11 because your processor is not on Microsoft's "supported" processor list: Windows processor requirements Windows 11 supported Intel processors | Microsoft Learn.
If you provide your laptop's model, I can ascertain that.
If this is the case, and if you like your laptop, there are a number of reliable and effective methods developed which would allow you to almost effortlessly upgrade your so-called "unsupported device" to Windows 11, such as this easy-to-follow YouTube instructional video shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSrmhhigEhY&t=332s&ab_channel=Tips2Fix.

Yes, the 7th generation i7-7500U processor (2-Cores, 4-Threads, 2.70 GHz up to 3.50 GHz, 15-watt TDP) as installed in your HP Envy Notebook m7-u109dx (W2K88UA) confirms what I mentioned earlier: it is not on Microsoft's supported W11 list.
Your processor is lower-end, but still suitable for basic productivity tasks such as word processing, spreadsheets, web browsing and light multitasking: running a few applications simultaneously for non-intensive tasks.
Here is an HP Envy Notebook M7-U109 Userbenchmark User benchmark, who upgraded their laptop with 2x8GB Hynix HMA81GS6AFR8N RAM and a SATA SSD for better performance, something I would very strongly recommend before/when you upgrade to Windows 11 as explained in my previous post.
