The specs of your machine is

Windows 11 requirements:

Looks like your machine won't work, it only has Intel Gen 7 CPU and Windows 11 requires Intel Gen 8 up (same/equivalent for AMD processors).

Updated: Your can check yourself too using Windows 11 Health check. Example

Hi, @Crazyjoe909 

I found this document regarding hard and soft floor system requirements, so we are just going to have to wait and see what happens when we actually try to upgrade older PC's to W11...

Compatibility for Windows 11- Compatibility Cookbook | Microsoft Docs

According to the above document, you may be able to upgrade to W11 as long as your PC meets the hard floor requirements.

Hey You can Download PC health Check from Microsoft and it will Automatically check If your device works with Windows 11 give it a try 

Directions:

In google type windows 11 scroll down to check ur pc requirements options

You need to know EVERYTHING that your system lacks for Windows 11, not just what the MS tool tells you.

Here is a link to a third-party tool that will check all the currently known requirements for Windows 11 and tell you what fails on your PC: https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11/releases

Do NOT try to download this using MS Edge as it flags it as malware -- which it is NOT -- use a different Browser instead.
