Hi:

 

Your PC's Intel Core i7-6700T processor does not meet the minimum requirements Microsoft established to run W11.

 

Intel processors need to be 8th generation core or newer.

 

You should be able to upgrade your PC to W11, but you would have to use one of the several W11 hardware check bypass methods to upgrade.

 

I found this method to be the easiest way to do that...

Should you be interested in upgrading your PC to W11, first I would 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.
