Win11 Upgrade Advice please!

I have a Dell Inspiron 23 Model 5348 01 which I bought some while ago with an earlier version of Windows but it came with a guaranteed upgrade to Win10.

I made this upgrade successfully once Win10 became available.

When Win11 was announced I used a tool from Microsoft to ascertain if my hardware was suitable for this version. The test was unsuccessful.

I am now being prompted by Microsoft to upgrade the computer to Win11. I'm confused, will it work on this machine which has previously failed the hardware test? Is there any advantage in upgrading? Will I lose any functionality if I upgrade? Will I need to upgrade the other software installed to make it work on Win11? Any other thoughts on the advisability or otherwise on attempting this upgrade?

Any advice from those who've done the upgrade appreciated, thanks.
