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:

    Yes latest version of the APP confirms compatibility yet on trying to instal by all the different routes I get blocked with an explanation that the processor is incompatible. Does Windows 11 really need different specs to 10? Is this just a way of selling new hardware ?

    Sumit,

    I have a MS Surface Studio with "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7820HQ CPU @ 2.90GHz "

    The MS "PC Health check app" reports "This PC meets Windows 11 requirements".

    In the UK its sometimes said that "the left hand isn't talking to the right hand" in this sort of situation.
