Not all PCs can convert to Windows 11. If you don't really need the power of Windows, then you have choices. One choice is to convert your PC to a Chromebook (Google it), a better option (in my humble opinion) is to convert to Linux Mint. Linux works kind of like Windows, but without being tracked and forced to sign into their system. It has a "Word" like program as well as a spreadsheet and other Windows "type" programs. There is no "Linux" company, it is "open source" which means anyone can look at the Linux code (and 10 of thousands do) to make sure it is safe. There are many YouTubers that can show you how to do it. I've converted many people here in the Villagers to Linux and they never go back to Windows.
