Should I upgrade to Windows 11 considering my current PC specifications?

My current OS is Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit. I’m considering switching to Windows 11 with this build. Would it be advisable? Any guidance would be helpful. Thanks ahead!
I wouldn't anticipate any upgrade issues.
Are there any current issues with Windows 10?
Regarding the disk drives, how fully utilized are they?

Like any system modification, make sure to save all crucial data beforehand.
Perform backups to separate locations from the upgraded host system. Ensure these backups can be recovered and read properly.
Get the "Health Check" tool to confirm you're set up properly. An upgrade assistant is available to streamline the process and ensure a nearly foolproof experience. I prefer W11 over W10 for better productivity. Some say W11 doesn't match W10's gaming performance, but I'm not sure if those concerns are fixed. If they are, I haven't noticed any drop in speed.
I haven't faced any ongoing problems with Windows 10, yet I've been drawn to the appealing options Windows 11 presents, especially PC Manager, which might serve as a strong substitute for CCleaner.
Concerning my storage devices:
- Local Disk © - Windows is installed here, and I've utilized 125GB from a total of 604GB.
- Local Disk (D) - I've used 275GB out of 326GB.
Appreciate your feedback.
I plan to test the "Health Check" tool. Your thoughts on Windows 11 for productivity are helpful. I'll also monitor any gaming performance concerns.
Thank you.
Its a PC with parts released since Win 11 was released. I would be amazed if it can't run win 11.
You should be fine but running the test always helps.

My guideline is to keep drive usage at 80% or less.
C seems to have ample free space.
D (non-OS) is at 84%, which isn't too bad but might be an issue.
But the actual drive sizes—604 GB and 326 GB—don’t match what I expect.
Could it be that the drives are split into partitions?
Open Disk Manager, expand the window fully so everything is visible.

This should help narrow down or rule out some options.
