Hi @Anonymous ,
As far as I know it is not mandatory to upgrade to Windows 11, also if your PC do not support Windows 11 it won't be able to upgrade.
It is only a recommendation as Windows 10 has its end-of-support dates, and you will want your operating system to be supported to still receive important security updates.
