OptiPlex 7050 Small Form Factor
Need to know if there is a processor available to upgrade this system board to be able to upgrade from win 10 to win 11?

"unfortunately" 7050 can not support Intel 8th or higher cpu which are required for Windows 11 official install. you can still bypass the requirement to install Win 11 based on Intel 7th gen cpu in 7050 SFF.

The Optiplex 7050 SFF is a system from 2017 that only supports 6th and 7th gen intel processors.
Windows 11 wants 8th gen processors as the minimum.
You can use rufus and an iso of Win11 to bypass the TPM and processor compatibility.
Because of how recent this system began manufacturing, i'm sure it will run just fine.
