Does Windows 11 need to be installed on an i5 12600K and ARC A770 in order to play games?

Hi,
Can I game on an i5 12600K and ARC A770 with Windows 11? It appears I need Windows 11 to build my system, but I have all the components to do so with Windows 10. Windows 11 isn't something I got because I'm not that knowledgeable about it yet. Now that Windows 10 has been updated to 11, can I upgrade to Windows 11?

Both CPU and Arc 770 are compatible with Windows 11, so, you shouldn't have problems updating to Windows 11... Windows 10 update will be offering the upgrade to version 11 at some time...

Any new game should be supported on Windows 11, the answer to your question can be very broad, so what you want to do is to check game's systems requirements for specific games that you are interested in playing, especially the old ones...
