    To get Windows 11 on a Windows 10 Dell Inspiron:

    1. Check whether the PC is eligible.
      • Run PC Health Check.
      • If it says the PC can run Windows 11, continue.
      • If not, Windows 11 will not install until the listed requirements are met.
    2. Try Windows Update first.
      • Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
      • Select Check for updates.
      • If the device is eligible, a banner should appear for Upgrade to Windows 11.
      • Select Download and install.
    3. If Windows 11 does not appear in Windows Update, use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant.
      • Download the tool from Microsoft’s Windows 11 software download page.
      • Run it as administrator.
      • Follow the on-screen steps to download and install Windows 11.
    4. If needed, use installation media.
      • Create a USB installer or ISO using Microsoft’s media creation process.
      • This can be used to install Windows 11 if the normal upgrade path does not appear.
      • Important: back up files first before installing or reinstalling Windows.
    5. If compatibility checks fail, common items to review are:
      • TPM 2.0 enabled in BIOS/UEFI
      • Secure Boot enabled
      • Enough free storage space

    Important details:

    • Upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 is free for eligible devices.
    • If Windows 11 is not being offered yet, rollout timing can vary by device.
    • If the PC is older and does not meet the minimum requirements, moving to a newer Windows 11 PC may be necessary.
