    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A.

    Based on the description, I understand your question is related to upgrade to win 11.

    Your device must be running Windows 10, version 2004 or later, to upgrade.

    You can check if your current machine meet the requirements of upgrading win 11:

    1. CPU:

    1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC).

    1. RAM

    4 gigabytes (GB)

    1. Storage

    64 GB or larger storage device Note: See below under “More information on storage space to keep Windows 11 up-to-date” for more details.

    1. system firmware

    UEFI, Secure Boot capable.

    1. TPM

    Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0.

    6.Graphics card

    Compatible with DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver.

    1. Display

    High definition (720p) display that is greater than 9” diagonally, 8 bits per color channel.

    1. Internet connection and Microsoft account

    Windows 11 Pro for personal use and Windows 11 Home require internet connectivity and a Microsoft account during initial device setup.

    Switching a device out of Windows 11 Home in S mode also requires internet connectivity.

    For all Windows 11 editions, internet access is required to perform updates and to download and take advantage of some features. A Microsoft account is required for some features.

    Certain features require specific hardware. System requirements to run some apps will exceed the Windows 11 minimum device specifications. Check device compatibility information specific to the apps you want to install. Available storage on your device will vary based on installed apps and updates. Performance will scale with higher end, more capable PCs. Additional requirements may apply over time and for updates.

    Have a nice day.

    Best Regards,

    Molly
