Why is Windows 10 not upgrading to Windows 11?
Hello! I have a question about Windows 10 upgrading to Windows 11.
I have noticed that on my PC, a Lenovo IdeaPad L340, that runs Windows 10, has the capabilities to run Windows 11. When I checked for updates, the message saying that I can upgrade to Windows 11, wasn't there. The PC Health Check app said my PC can run Windows 11.
I'm a little confused. Anyone know why this is happening & how to troubleshoot it? I tried rebooting my device & that did nothing. There is an update that is available for Windows 10, but when I rebooted my device, it said "Working on updates" so is that why Windows 11 isn't available? Thanks in advance!
This is a standard notification - which everyone receives , installing Windows11 will happen automatically no need to speed it up .
- Alright, thanks! I thought that was an error with the OS itself.

- UPDATE ON MY WINDOWS THING:
I got Windows 11 today! It looks like I just had to wait for a day or two for the update to rollout to me, I guess.Can you please help me? I have the same laptop but I still haven't received the update.
HI I think the easiest way will be to download the update assistant, it will prepare the components for installation - just download - your settings and files will remain unchanged.

- Oh, ok. I'm still new to this so thanks for that.
- You screenshot shows there is pending update, let it complete and restart your PC and check for update again.
You don't have to do anything and just wait for the update to become available.
