Hey everyone, I got a really cool HP ZBook 17 G3 with an Intel Xeon E3-1535M processor. It's been through some tough battles! But if you try to run it on Windows 11, the computer won't start because the CPU isn't strong enough for that OS. Can anyone tell me if I can upgrade this thing to a new Xeon so it works with Windows 11? Thanks way ahead of time! Francesco
Your ZBook comes with a processor chip called FCBGA1440, and because this part is glued right onto your main board, you can't take it out or swap it out.
