For those of you who think you can't upgrade - the "mimimum requirements" are actually guidelines. Nearly any PC or laptop from the past 5 years will run fine under 11. Even if the PC doesn't have a TPM, you can still install and use it, you just can't used the advanced security features offered in Windows 11.

Bottomline, if you're running Windows 10 now, you'll have no issues running Windows 11.
My computer came with Win7. I upgraded to Win10 near the end of the period where you could upgrade for free. It's a Gen7 Quad-Core, and isn't on the list of machines that are compatible with Win11. It's got three fans, but one is wonky and gives me an error every time I turn the computer on in the morning. So I have to hit the enter key within 10 seconds of getting the error, or it'll automatically shut itself off. I could buy a new fan, but if I'm gonna just have to buy a new computer in a year or two anyway, I'll live with it as is.
