Windows 11 is no longer compatible

I have had Windows 11 Home for about 2 years now; the Windows came with the laptop when I bought it. Now as of today, when attempting to update, I get a message stating that my computer is no longer compatible with Windows 11. What would have changed to now make it not compatible in the last 3 to 6 months since I last updated?

    Looks like you're trying to upgrade to Version 24H2, which blocked some old processors that managed to get Windows 11 earlier versions. 

    So if it is saying not compatible, you can find a reason behind this by checking Windows 11 eligibility with PC Health Check app:

    Let us know what it reports back and we can help you further with this.
