can a HP EliteDesk 800 G3 DM 35W be upgraded to windows 11 ?

Dear sing,

The HP EliteDesk 800 G3 DM 35W typically ships with Intel 6th or 7th generation processors (e.g., i5-6500T or i7-7700T), which are not officially supported for Windows 11 under Microsoft’s published requirements.

While some users have reported success running Windows 11 on this model using workarounds, such as bypassing TPM and CPU checks via registry modifications, these methods are not supported by Microsoft and may result in:

Limited feature availability

Ineligibility for future updates

Reduced system stability or security

For reference, you can review community feedback on this topic here.

If Windows 11 is a requirement for your environment, we recommend:

Verifying the exact processor model installed in your device

Considering hardware upgrades to a supported platform

Continuing with Windows 10 Enterprise, which remains supported through October 14, 2025

You can also use the PC Health Check tool to confirm compatibility.
