The Intel Core i5-7300U processor, unfortunately, does not meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11 as set by Microsoft. Windows 11 requires an 8th generation Intel processor or newer, and the i5-7300U is a 7th generation chip. This means that officially, your laptop wouldn't be eligible for an upgrade to Windows 11 through the normal installation process.
However, if you're still considering improving your system's performance within the constraints of Windows 10 or another operating system that supports your current hardware, upgrading your RAM could assist significantly. For smooth operation under Windows 10, I'd recommend at least 8GB of RAM. If you're currently running less than that, increasing to 8GB or more can improve multitasking capabilities and overall responsiveness.
If you're set on moving to Windows 11, you might need to consider a hardware upgrade (newer laptop with compatible specs) to fully take advantage of what the OS has to offer without running into performance issues. Alternatively, exploring other operating systems that are optimized for older hardware could also be a viable solution depending on your needs and preferences.
