The speed of the processor should be 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit system or System on a Chip (SoC).
You will also require a minimum of 4 GB RAM, and 64 GB or larger storage device, DirectX 12 compatible graphics / WDDM 2.x.
Make sure that you have a TPM 2.0 chip, and have enabled it from your BIOS settings. You will also need to enable the Secure Boot settings from the BIOS. For this to configure, you will need UEFI BIOS Settings.

Our measured and phased approach to the rollout of Windows 11 means we will offer the upgrade via Windows Update when data shows that your device is ready, as our objective is to provide a good upgrade experience
