The Windows update compatibility check runs a scheduled task that runs periodically compared to PC Health Check App which shows information in real-time. So, if you turned on a requirement like TPM recently, the status in Windows update would take a while to change, so give it a day or two. If you cannot wait, update manually using the steps below:

Check Windows 11 compatibility

Download Windows 11

Use the Installation Assistant to Download Windows 11

Alternatively, download an ISO file and Run Setup.exe to Start the Upgrade, using Windows 11 Media Creation Tool.

All steps, including MCT and Installation Assistant, are covered here:

    So on further investigation I find if I use this compatible list it shows my CPU as compaitble

    Windows 10 20H2 Supported Intel Processors

    Since I have Windows 10 version 20H2 the site points me to the following list which lists my CPU as supported...

    I guess it is the wrong list?
