Greetings,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Thank you for reaching out. I see that you are interested in transitioning to Windows 11 as Windows 10 is set to end its support in 2025. The upgrade to Windows 11 requires specific hardware components such as TPM 2.0, UEFI firmware with Secure Boot support, certain processors, and increased memory and storage capacities. If your current PC does not meet these criteria, upgrading to Windows 11 might not be feasible. You can attempt an in-place upgrade to Windows 11, which will refresh your system without requiring reactivation or data loss. However, it is still advisable to back up any critical data beforehand.

You can explore the steps for performing an in-place upgrade on Windows 11 in our Microsoft Community.

If upgrading to Windows 11 remains challenging, you may consider upgrading some of your current hardware components or investing in a new PC.

I eagerly await your response.

Warm regards,

Aaron | Support Specialist at Microsoft Community
