    Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters

    Select "Windows Update" and run the troubleshooter.

    Update all the drivers.

    Open Command Prompt as administrator

    Run "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth"

    After it completes, run "sfc /scannow"

    If you get This PC meets Windows 11 requirements with PC Health Check app, then you can try manual upgrade using Windows 11 ISO file:
