PC Health Check states my computer can upgrade to windows 11, but Windows Update does not offer the upgrade. It did in the past when I wasn't ready to upgrade, but now it just offers to enroll in extended coverage for windows 10.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

Hi, thank you for reaching out. I’m happy to help.

If your computer meets the system requirements for Windows 11 but it is not being offered in Settings, try using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant:
