  System Information says:

AMD A4-5000 APU with Radeon(TM) HD Graphics, 1500 MHz, 4 core('s)

and PCHealthCheck says the same:

AMD A4-5000 APU with Radeon(TM) HD Graphics

and indeed no 'A4' or '5000' in the windows-11-supported-amd-processors
list.

  Thanks for that reference/site. This is the page for my wife's AMD
A4-5000

<https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/a4-5000.c1710>

  It's a 2013 CPU, which matches with the purchase date of May 2014.
