Windows 10: how to upgrade processor my 3 year old HP laptop.

How do I upgrade processor and ram. Hard drive is 1000 GB solid state.Thanks

:)

 

My HP laptop with core I5-6200U processor says it's not eligible for Windows 11 upgrade.

My HP laptop with core I5-6200U processor says it's not eligible for Windows 11 upgrade but when I look on the Microsoft web site for Windows 11 minimum requirements this processor is listed multiple times. Is this some sort of a glitch where they aren't recognizing my processor accurately? I would think a core I5 (even though it's 4 years old) would meet the requirements. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks

Hello,

Certainly not, I seldom suggest factory reset (reinstalls old version with useless manufacturer apps).

3 years old is very Young, i own pc 10 years old running perfectly well

Thank you Patricia for all your help. Your suggestion isn't much different from the solution HP Tech support ultimately suggested, which is to restore the PC to it's factory installation from the recovery drive. I was hoping I wouldn't need to go that route
which necessitates re-installing all my applications. I'm beginning to think I might as well just buy a new PC as this one is already 3 years old.

Again Thank you for your time...it is much appreciated.
