Boo-hoo - as I don't really know whether my ThinkPad T450s has this capability, or not. Time for some Googling. But I guess I can struggle on with Windows 10 Pro for 4 years + if not?

It is an expectation as per the following sentence:
we're expecting Windows 11 to be offered as a free upgrade to existing Windows 10 users

The subject of Win 11 has been discussed in depth over the last couple of weeks.
I was able to download a copy of Win11 in an .iso this evening. I am still up in the air as to whether it would be okay to install it.
The dates on files is 30.5.2021. I guess I will try it on another machine and HDD.
FYI, a clean install of this W11 will require a minimum of UEFI and TPM 2.0, which none of my half-dozen or so machines have (only the newest one is capable of having its TPM firmware upgraded to 2.0).
However, I have found that an in-place upgrade has no such restrictions. Here I upgraded a Legacy MBR install of Win10 Home in a Hyper-V VM with no TPM security to Win11.
