    Unfortunately, 9020 does not support 5/6th gen intel cpu which requires LGA1151 socket and 100 or higher series chipset.  9020 has LAG1150 socket which only supports Intel 4th gen cpu.  It uses Q87 chipset.

    you can still install Windows 11 using nonofficial tool to bypass cpu, tpm and secure boot checks.

    TO upgrade your hard drive to match a better CPU, see this really great article, and look in the same web site for a similar article about your 9020:
