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.
