The most important thing to know first: Your PC does not meet the official hardware requirements for Windows 11. Because of this, Microsoft will not offer you the upgrade through Windows Update, and their official "Upgrade Assistant" app will block the upgrade.
Does Microsoft offer a free Windows 11 Upgrade Assistant app?
Yes, absolutely. The upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 is free. Microsoft does have an official "PC Health Check" app and an "Installation Assistant" ( Windows 11 Upgrade Assistant) app, but they are designed to prevent installation on unsupported hardware like yours.
You can find the official tools here: Microsoft Windows 11 Download Page
- Windows 11 Installation Assistant: This is the tool you're asking about. If you run it on your PC, it will check your system and very likely tell you your PC isn't eligible.
- PC Health Check App: This is a smaller tool that just tells you why your PC isn't eligible.
