Microsoft has informed me several times that my PC is not suitable for Windows 11"I want to reassure you until October 2025 you do not have to do anything -> your Windows10 computer will continue to work and be supported ( I will add that the current security updates are the same as for Windows11 ) , the latest system is more secure and prepared for advanced applications, because Microsoft partners want to implement advanced products.

Pekka SevantoIf you're actually interested in it, typically you have to use a method like this to upgrade it, which in your case you would probably need an OEM key to activate it: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-11/the-i7-7700k-meet-the-minimun-requierments-to-run-win11-but-its/m-p/2906782/highlight/true#M1040
NOTE: On an entirely new computer that doesn't come with Windows 11 pre-installed, you could create installation media (with the latest Cumulative Updates, ) enter in the OEM key when Setup is running, activate it when you get internet access ( WiFi / Ethernet, Mobile Internet, etc. ) At that point the license is tied to that one motherboard, and it can't be transferred to another computer. Usually the free upgrade periods are the best time to install Windows 11, even if you wanted to revert back to Windows 10 for some period of time: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-11/example-iso-patch-guide-for-windows-11-64-bit-21h2/m-p/3574791/highlight/true#M4464
Thank you for your answer. I decided that probably on October I'll start checking Windows 11, but before that I'll take another computer to Win 11 tests. I want to be sure that my real PC needs can be done every day. This Win 10 version with my Fujitsu PC is stable, fast enough, so I'm satisfied in it.
