Product: HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690-0067
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HF Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690-0067c with an AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Eight-Core Processor 3.00 GHz which has been satisfactory for all my needs.

If I understand correctly, this CPU is not compatible with Windows 11. 

1.  Is it possible to upgrade, just the CPU in order to make it compatible with Windows 11?

2.  If so, how difficult would the upgrade be to do?  (I have changed hard drives and added memory chips, but never a CPU.)

3.  Which CPUs would be compatible with my PC?  I have a list of compatible AMD CPUs which are compatible with Windows 11.
4.  Less important question: Would you recommend adding a graphics card to this PC. The Radeon RX 550 is satisfactory for me playing Elder Scrolls: V Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption 2, for example.
Thanks for all that you do for us neophytes,

WindyBill
