Reinstalling windows 10 from Windows 11

So i already have a working pc i built myself with windows 10 on it. the only issue that I want to upgrade to Windows 11, but my specs dont meet the requirements according to microsoft. I think it must be my hard drive which i replaced with an ssd that i downloaded my games on. I was wondering if there was a way to reinstall Windows 10 on the ssd, so that I can upgrade to Windows 11. I saw one method where i can create a bootable drive of Windows 10 iso, then wipe my hard drive and reinstall everything on my ssd. Let me know if there is a better option I’m not very good with computers!
