    It is easier to just replace the PC. IMO, you're not going to be able to upgrade the CPU: I read that the Socket is 1170 BGA, that means the CPU is soldered to the mainboard. All-in-one machines tend to use laptop component, limited to upgrade RAM or storage only.

    The N3000 series was the last series of Celeron processors to not support Windows 11, they match up with the 7th gen series of CPUs. The N4000 series, which do support Windows 11, require a new motherboard. So you are in Windows 10 for the long term without replacing your system.
