    If you get This PC meets Windows 11 requirements with PC Health Check app, then you can use Windows 11 Installation Assistant which you can download from here:

    Please try the answers provided by Q&A Assist, but ignore the first one.

    If you haven't received the update in setting, please go to: https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11 to download the Windows Upgrade Assistant and try updating manually.

    If your computer hardware does not meet the requirements, the upgrade assistant will let you know that the upgrade will fail, but it will not affect your data.

    To upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11, follow these steps:

    1. Check Your PC Specifications: Ensure your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11. You can do this by running the PC Health Check tool:
      • Download and install the PC Health Check tool from Microsoft's site.
      • Open the tool and select "Check now" under the Windows 11 section.
      • Review the results to see if your PC meets the requirements.
    2. Backup Important Data: Although the upgrade is designed to keep your files and applications, it's wise to back up your important data before proceeding.
    3. Upgrade Methods: Choose one of the following methods to upgrade:
      • Windows Update (Recommended):
        • Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
        • Select "Check for updates". If eligible, you will see an option to "Upgrade to Windows 11". Click on it to download and install.
      • Windows 11 Installation Assistant:
        • Download the Windows 11 Installation Assistant from Microsoft's website.
        • Run the tool as an administrator and follow the on-screen instructions to upgrade.
      • ISO File / USB Installation (Advanced):
        • Download the Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft.
        • Create installation media using the Windows Media Creation Tool, or run Setup.exe from the mounted ISO.
    4. Post-Upgrade Setup: After upgrading, make sure to install any updates and verify that your Microsoft account is signed in and Windows is activated.

    By following these steps, you can successfully upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows 10 and check your computer specifications.
