That wouldn't be possible but if you are interested in doing an in-place upgrade from W10>W11 you can but you will have to use a workaround that bypasses the W11 hardware checks so you can.

 

The info presented in the video at the link below is the easiest way to do an in-place upgrade that I know of.
