    Hi

    Since 2022 it is unlikely, the i3-4170 processor was released in 2015, and it and the motherboard are not natively compatible with W11.

    It is possible to install it by bypassing Microsoft's security, but given the configuration (weakness of the processor and lack of RAM), it is likely to lag a lot...

    It is preferable to stay on W10 and extend its updates by signing up for ESU.

    Hello,

    Personally, I don't understand the question; you just need to go to Windows Update normally... it will indicate whether your PC is compatible

    Be careful though, there are still many issues encountered with W11 and W10 is still protected if you register for the ESU for free
