I tried Microsoft's Windows 11 compatibility check tool on my Windows 10 PC and got this error.

This PC can't run Windows 11

While this PC doesn't meet the system requirements
to run Windows 11, you'll keep getting Windows 10
updates.

I think my PC meets the minimum requirements, below is my PC specs:
Ryzen 5 1500X
24GB RAM
120GB SSD + 1TB HDD
GTX 1050Ti
Isn't that enough?

Well, it turns out that it's not a bug with the app! Windows 11 is not supported in gen 1 Ryzen processors > Windows 11 Won't Support 1st Gen AMD Ryzen Processors, TPM Required | Hardware Times

When I ran the Windows 11 compatibility check on my own Windows 10 PC, I also got the same error message.
What I did was dive into the nitty-gritty of the system requirements for Windows 11. It turns out there were a few components on my PC that needed a little TLC to meet the criteria. So, I started tinkering, updating drivers here, tweaking settings there, and voila! After a bit of trial and error, I finally got the green light for the upgrade.
Oh, and speaking of upgrades, if you're ever in need of keys for Windows 10 or 11, I recently stumbled upon Digital Chill Mart. They offer keys at really decent prices, and hey, every penny saved counts, right? Here's the link: Windows 11 Professional (Retail)
