  If that's the case, Windows Update will say so. In Jason's case, it
apparently doesn't say so, but also doesn't offer the Windows 11
upgrade.

  On my wife's, Windows 11 incompatible, Windows 10 system, Windows
Update says ((very liberally) translated from Dutch):

"Prepare for Windows 11
 If you want to check if Windows 11
 can be used on this PC, you can
 check the hardware requirements or
 go to the website of the manufacturer
 of your PC"

  And there's a 'Check hardware requirements' link.
