Hello,
Is the current system Win10 Home Edition?
You can upgrade from Win10 to Win11 in-place for free, if your system meets the minimum requirements to install Win11.
If you want to change your Win10 version, such as converting from Home to Enterprise, you need to purchase a new license.
Have a nice day.
Best Regards,
Hania Lian

There is no free upgrade from Windows 10 to another edition. You do need to purchase a license. Follow https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/upgrade-windows-home-to-windows-pro-ef34d520-e73f-3198-c525-d1a218cc2818
