Can i add hardware so i can upgrade to windows 11?

Your computer uses an AMD A8-7600 processor

That processor is not supported by Windows 11.
The motherboard doesn't support UEFI Secure Boot either which is also a requirement.

There is no way any of that can be used with Windows 11.

New PC time.
Save up more for a better one, more storage, faster, more ram etc.

Or forget windows and go down the linux route.

Linux?

It's like Windows, but you have to program it yourself.

That's a tad unfair.The likes of Ubuntu are user friendly. You can install free software such as Thunderbird (for email) and GIMP (for image creation). Personally, I prefer the likes of Adobe and MS Office, but they are not free and not compatible with any of the Linux variants.

Linux used to be alien to windows users butt now Linux Mint and others are very much good for long time windows users like me.
I tried it on my laptop and it seems fine.

Yes there are some windows programs that do not run on it but it can emulate windows for most.

It is however far far less of a resource hog like Windows is, it's much much faster on older machines
It does not require the security chip MS has decided we must have.

After making backups of essential stuff IMO it's worth trying out on the old PC just to see if you like it, if you don't then get the new PC that's needed for W11 so there is nothing to lose.
