I assume you are talking about the PC in your specs. If it runs Windows 10, it should run Windows 11 basically the same.

Technically though, you have an AMD FX6300, which is not officially supported by Microsoft. It' missing some of the security features that the Windows 11 installer is looking for. You would need to use some work arounds to get Windows 11 installed on your hardware, and Microsoft "could" limit your ability to get update at a later time. But at present, a non-supported CPU gets updates just fine.

The i5-8500 is an 8th gen Intel processor. Windows 11 requires 8th gen or higher, so that is on Microsoft's list of supported processors.

You should have the option in the bios to enable Intel’s Platform Trust Technology (PTT). That is a firmware implementation of TPM 2.0 and will meet the Windows 11 requirements.

So yes, that is a supported device for Windows 11. It should be fine for general use.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, and 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2.

    My SYSTEM THREE is a Dell Latitude 5410, i7-10610U, 32GB RAM, 512GB NVMe ssd, supported device running Windows 11 Pro (and all my Hyper-V VMs).

    My SYSTEM FOUR is a 2-in-1 convertible Lenovo Yoga 11e 20DA, Celeron N2930, 8GB RAM, 256GB ssd. Unsupported device: currently running Win10 Pro, plus Win11 Pro RTM and Insider Dev, Beta, and RP 24H2 as native boot vhdx.

    My SYSTEM FIVE is a Dell Latitude 3190 2-in-1, Pentium Silver N5030, 8GB RAM, 512GB NVMe ssd, supported device running Windows 11 Pro, plus the Insider Beta, Dev, Canary, and Release Preview builds as a native boot .vhdx.
