Windows 10: Is my Motherboard and processor upgradeable?

I have an HP EliteDesk 800 G3 TWR with the following Baseboard Manufacture HP, Product 8298, Baseboard version KBC Version 06.29. It has an Intel Core I5-7600 CPU @ 3.5 GHz. Is it possible to upgrade the motherboard and processor to upgrade to Windows 11? If it's possible how do I find out which motherboard to purchase? I'm currently running Windows 10.

Processor upgrade

Looking at the CPU compatibility list for the board, it requires F40 or later to support the 3600. B450 AORUS PRO WIFI (rev. 1.0) | Motherboard - GIGABYTE U.S.A. The latest version is F50.

What's your BIOS version?

If it's a suitable rev, I suggest clearing the CMOS afetr swapping processors.

Best of luck.

 

Processor upgrade

I updated it this evening. Version :B20.0406.1 is what gigabyte gives.
