Yeah, that's the right call. Just a tip: you can run the PC Health Check app from Microsoft to get a definitive yes or no on compatibility. Good luck!

Can confirm. Agreed. And if it passes, definitely back up your important files before starting the upgrade—just in case.

Also, you can check HP's official support site for your model to see if they offer any specific upgrade guidance or drivers.

Same here. First, you'll want to check if your PC meets the Windows 11 system requirements, especially the TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot criteria.

You can check that by opening your System Information and looking for the TPM version under Security Devices.

This. You could also run the PC Health Check app from Microsoft, which will give you a clear yes or no on compatibility. Another option is to check HP's support site for your model to see if they offer official Windows 11 drivers.

Agreed. If you do upgrade, back up your important files first—just in case anything goes sideways during the install.
