You have to remember that the launch of Windows 11 has been very controversial, especially because of the need to have the TPM chip, a requirement that has left a good number of devices unable to upgrade.
These are the requirements that a PC will have to meet if it wants to receive Windows 11 officially and without having to give up future updates via Windows Update.:
- 64-bit CPU Dual Core
- A capacity of storage of 64 GB or more.
- You must have at least 4 GB of RAM.

With either of these two systems, you can determine if you have a PC that can officially install Windows 11 or on the contrary you are left out and you have to opt for a modified version with the risk that this entails.
