Hi:

 

None of the processors in the Hp Elitebook 1040 G3 model series meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements.

 

They have to be Intel 8th generation core processors and newer.

If you are interested in installing W11 on your PC as is, you can read this discussion for how I upgraded several HP and Dell notebook and desktop PC's that did not meet the W11 hardware requirements to W11 22H2.

 

You have to use the version of the Rufus utility that I zipped up and attached in the discussion (v3.18).

 

Re: Issues upgrading to windows 11 - HP Support Community - 8517912

 

If the in-place upgrade fails, you should be able to clean install W11 using the bootable W11 installation flash drive you made with Rufus.

 

Maybe things will work fine on W11 and maybe not.

 

You have 10 days to go back to W10 if you can do the in-place upgrade to W11.

 

Please note that HP does not have any W11 drivers for your notebook.
