Windows 11 software upgrade. From 10 to 11

There should be something on your laptop to test to see if its capable. Both my PC and laptop have it. If not Google it.

Update windows 11

Well check on google for your laptop capabilities if it fit all the capabilities then you should be able to run the windows 11 on your laptop.

Short answer: No, CPU is 6th gen on these. Earliest 840 with the right one is the G5/G6 (G6 being an 8th-gen refresh of the G5).

Long answer:

The machine just can't be upgraded officially. Your best bet is to do the free year of ESUs to buy time, or force install Win11, but given the age of this machine, it COULD be borderline enough that it could work. But if anything goes wrong, M$ isn't helping you as the CPU is out of spec.

How I am evalutating PCs for the forced upgrade is based on how OFF spec it is -- for example, 5th gen and older are pretty much just too far gone. 6th gen is risky, 7th is just a smidge under the requirements and seems to have been proven to be fine. 8th gen and up has official support.

AMD is easy: Pre-Zen (A series) is no go for me, Athlons based on Zen are fine- early Athlons before Ryzen are in my "no go" range. Ryzen Zen1 based chips also tend to be okey being a smidge under, but barely made it because they (GASP!!!) lack a fTPM. Zen+ chips are officially supported.

The current crop of machines I have personally come to shortlist are 12th/13th/14th generation Core Ultra PCs (though admittedly, I also love the new AMD PCs - the crop of Ryzen chips from the past few years is as good, if not better). At least with Intel, the difference between 12 and 13 is minor, and you're probably paying a premium for a borderline upgrade. However, 12>Core Ultra (which features an AI NPU exclusive to the Ultra) is a more significant upgrade. If you are choosing between a 12th or 13th generation PC, I would try to get a deal on a 12th generation PC or see if you can get a pair of 12th generation machines for the same price as one 13th generation machine, or go with AMD or Core Ultra. If your needs are relatively basic, consider sniping a small lot of 12th-gen PCs from an ITAD that wants to dispose of them, such as a 2-PC deal for around $400.

If you ignore all of the AI garbage Intel and AMD are pushing and want a newer PC with the Core Ultra, pick a machine based on merit and modularity (for example, I grabbed a B stock 640 G11 with 32GB/512GB for $358 from an ITAD for the 16:10 panel, and later a 645 G11 from a reseller with 16/256 I negotiated down due to the SSD and put my own 1TB SSD in on day 31). When you pick a machine, if you replace it, DO NOT get stuck on the Copilot hype; it's mostly used for GenAI slop at this point. You can usually find good deals on these 14th-gen/Core Ultra machines on the secondhand market, especially business-class models. That said, AMD has a far better product that's on par, so if you can forego the Windows studio nonsense (the biggest use of the Core Ultra NPU right now), you can buy a well-equipped 645 for the same money, or less. I scored a 640 G11 for easily 70-80% off, if not more, just because it was used B stock. You can remap the Copilot key with PowerToys, so the issue is largely moot; you can make it do something useful.

The issue picking one now is that the market dynamics with modern Ryzen chips like the 7000 series make it so that the AMD version is not only cheaper new OR used, but it's genuinely as good as the Intel versions of these laptops. I have both - and the difference is a few points here and there; not even a deal breaker, especially given AMD laptops are cheaper. In fact, my AMD machine is so good even with the Ryzen 5 being short multiple cores, it's still as good OR BETTER thej Intel because AMD is using full power CPU cores vs the hybrid Intel chips.

It doesn't matter what you pick unless your needs require one or the other, or one has genuine advantages the other does not for you. I would go off of CPU and spec as purchased - if the AMD version is the same 16/512 as the Intel, the AMD will probably be cheaper AND really compelling, maybe even better out of the box specs (or at least, a more agreeable price for a 16/256 645 like mine). On the other hand if the Intel machine is cheaper, go with that. It's literally the same short a few points.

Either way, regardless of your choice, perform a full erase of the machine using the NVMe secure erase option, put it online briefly, and check for MDM on the first day by going online in the OOBE. Once you see it is MDM-free, you're good to use it.
