Hello,
I can upgrade to Windows 11 via the update menu in Windows 10, but I don’t have the chance to pick a specific drive. If that’s not possible, what steps should I take? I need it on another drive so I can test it without risking the current operating system.

This upgrade isn't supported. To proceed, an operating system must already be installed on the alternative drive.

Should I need to duplicate the operating system to another storage device first?

You can set up Windows 11 without a license. Simply download the installer from Microsoft and complete the steps for creating a USB version. Upgrading is essentially changing to an existing setup, which prevents reinstalling software that might be present.
