Hello,

Did you already run the PC Health Check App?

If it does meet requirements, you can go here:

Download the installation assistant tool, and run it and upgrade it from there.

Answer 2

To determine if your computer is capable of upgrading to Windows 11, you need to check if it meets the minimum system requirements. Here are the key requirements:

1. Processor (CPU): 1 GHz or faster, with 2 or more cores, and on the list of supported 64-bit CPUs (most Intel 8th Gen/AMD Ryzen 2000 series or newer processors are supported).
2. Memory (RAM): 4 GB or more.
3. Storage: 64 GB or larger storage device, with at least 20 GB of free space recommended for the upgrade process.
4. System Firmware: UEFI firmware with Secure Boot capability.
5. TPM: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 enabled.
6. Graphics & Display: A graphics card compatible with DirectX 12 or later and a display larger than 9" with at least 720p resolution.
7. Operating System: Your PC should be running Windows 10 version 2004 or later to upgrade directly via Windows Update.

You can also use the PC Health Check tool from Microsoft to verify compatibility. If your PC meets these requirements, you should be able to upgrade to Windows 11, which may help with printer compatibility as well.
