I have Win 7 Pro and want to upgrade. Yes, I know, a bit late but I've read that I can still upgrade to Win 10. Can I then upgrade to 11?
Solved Win 7 to 10 to 11

Win11 has extra hardware requirements that your Win7 machine may not match.
you need a Trusted Platform Module chip on the motherboard, BIOS must be capable of Secure Boot, and at least a Intel Core i3 10th gen CPU (I think).
I've got a Core i3 7th gen in my home PC that stops me getting Win11 on that.
I'm a bit rusty, but you used to be able to freely upgrade from Win7 to Win10 with your current digital license and I think MS still allows it.
suck it and see - you'll soon find out if you can or can't

But no harm in trying.
Unfortunately the free upgrade to Win 10 has now officially been closed. Unless a user had previously upgraded then it cannot be done.
Windows 11 requires Windows 10 in order to upgrade for free.
