Hi:

 

No, there isn't.

 

Your PC can't get the direct upgrade to W11 because it does not have a supported processor, TPM 2.0 security device, UEFI BIOS or support secure boot.

 

If you want to run W11 on your PC, you would have to make a hybrid W11 installer and clean install W11.

 

Look at Method 3 on the link below...

 

How to install Windows 11 on almost any unsupported PC (xda-developers.com)

 

If you want to test out W11 on your PC, I recommend that you make a system image of your current W10 installation prior to updating to W11, so you can easily reinstall W10 in the future.  I used the free Macrium Reflect software to do that, under the Backup at Home section. 

 

Along with the system image, make sure you create the bootable DVD or USB rescue drive you boot from to access the system image stored on your portable hard drive.
