I have TPM 2.0, Secure Boot is on, I have an AMD Ryzen 7 3800X with 8 cores running at 3.9 GHz and lots of free space, but it won't let me upgrade to Windows 11 without giving a reason.

How are you showing me a picture of Disk Management? Are you asking why I can't upgrade? Or what's stopping me from doing that?

Thanks for the quick reply! I guess this message stops me from upgrading. What does "disk management" mean? Does it say that my photos aren't showing up, but I'm putting those pictures in a link? I don't know why it won't let me add them there.

You might also try running a PC Health Check app. That tool will show you which things are missing so you can get an upgrade ready.

i go to the PC health check page and click "check now." it shows weird stuff in Windows, then sends me back to that site. this is my disk management picture... does it say anything? i tried running a task to get an update but it just keeps sending me to the website again.

After I manually clicked the button to run this app for one hour, it finally did its thing.
