From the last week the 'Windows Update' section is showing the following: This PC is ready for Windows 11

Also, checked the system requirements using 'PC Health Check'.

What is the reason I am not getting the update? My friend has the same machine, and he's got it.

Thank you

It depends on the PC, EVEN if the computer is exactly same, it depends. The windows update is preparing update for your PC. Then after sometime, It will appear as a optional update. Waiting is recommended, BUT if you want to upgrade now, use this app: Windows 11 Installation Assistant. To use it scroll down and select Download Now under Windows 11 Installation Assistant. It will guide you to install Windows 11.
