Why? No specific tablet was noted but the majority of the Windows tablets from Windows 7 to 10 were 99% cheap things with low amounts of RAM and storage which meant that for 99% of those an UPGRADE INSTALL was not possible as the storage was usually a tiny 8GB to about 16GB which wasn't enough to perform an upgrade.
Maybe one can do a clean install but then "GOOD LUCK" on finding Windows drivers for your choice of Windows.
-> My advice is if it runs Windows 10, leave it alone!

It seems unlikely your (unknown to us) tablet has the necessary hardware support.
In the settings app go to Update & Security>Windows security>Device security and see what it says about Standard hardware security. If it says it's not supported, it most likely won't run Windows 11. Luckily Windows 10 is supported for more than 4 years from now. And it will still run (although without additional security updates) for years after that.

https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/windows-11-compatibility-try-whynotwin11-if-the-pc-health-check-app-doesnt-work/ tells where to download the program whynotwin11.exe . It tests all hardware requirements except the WDDM-level offered by the video card driver. But my guess is that at least one of the other checks will give red.
Please tell what tablet you have and what the program said.
