This laptop is more of a Win-10 laptop as its at the lower spectrum of the Win-11 specs but, it’s got the cpu, TPM 2 listed as compatible for Win-11 spec, it also has a dedicated gpu of the Nvidia MX150 that can assist in Win-11 functionality, its not great but adequate.

The Aspire E5-476G can have a max total ram of 32GB (2x 16GB DDR4 type modules) and the cheapest way for your to upgrade to 16GB (which is the min for Win-11) is by adding 1x 8GB DDR4 of the same specs that your existing ram module has (install GPUz to see that) as you laptop at the moment is working in single memory channel (if it has 1x 8GB DDR4 ram( and by adding one more 8GB module your laptop will operate in Dual Channel which allot quicker and better for your laptops functionality.

This will improve the laptops speed and response considerably and 32GB (2x 16GB DDR4 ram) will make it even more useable, as your laptop with its MX150 Nvidia gpu will function quite well with all web, Win-11, browsing and general usage and to play some mid-range games in Win-11 also.
