Don’t be alarmed if you use Belarc Advisor and find that it still reports your new Windows 11 O/S as being Windows 10. This is apparently a glitch in Belarc that will likely be correct soon.
Best regards

Hello,
I also recently upgraded from win 10 to win 11 home. I have used belarc advisor since XP home 15 years plus l believe and this is the only glitch ever. Win 10 as the OS is incorrect and informing you of this error in hopes it will be useful. Please feel to contact me if I can furnish any useful information
When you upgraded did you do it on eligible hardware or did you use one of the workarounds to install it on lesser hardware? If you use the workarounds it doesn’t update the registry entries to W11 but leaves them at W10. See this post.
