Hello Ayush,

Thank you for reaching out about the issue you’re experiencing with upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I understand how frustrating it can be when updates don’t go through as expected and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. The most common reason for this problem is that the device may not meet the minimum system requirements or certain settings like TPM and Secure Boot might not be enabled.

To resolve this I recommend checking your PC’s compatibility using the PC Health Check tool from Microsoft, ensuring your system meets the requirements for Windows 11 and confirming that you are running Windows 10 version 2004 or later. If your device is compatible you can try upgrading through Windows Update use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant or perform a clean installation using an ISO file. Before proceeding make sure to back up your important data to avoid any loss during the upgrade process.

Could you confirm if you’ve already checked your system requirements and run the PC Health Check tool?

I hope this answer is helpful if you have further questions feel free to reply back
