    You can check it with Microsoft's PC Health Check App.
    Here's a nice Cnet article about it Windows 11 compatibility: Check if your PC meets Microsoft's requirements - CNET
    with a download link to the checker .

    Alright, you're on there .  Maybe give the checker a try .  It's supposed to be a new version that
    will tell you what you need, if you need it .  I will wait a long time because Win10 is working good for me .
    Win11 looks like a heavy-weight system to me, requiring 64 gig of drive space .
    Could all that really be required for Win11 ?
     
    P.S. Reqs. also say "Secure Boot capable" .
