It's no big deal as long as you're not trying to upgrade to Windows 11 (which you shouldn't!)A little red dot has appeared in the lower corner of my computer, I clicked on it and it states my PC is not Windows 11 compatible/won't upgrade. Is this a big deal or is there a way around it? Thanks in advance

Who's posted tin foil hat nonsense about Microsoft spying???
Microsoft are forcefully pushing 11 out (it's hard to avoid it if your hardware is suitable).
On the subject of compatibility the biggest reason for not being compatible is the requirement for a TPU. There are other CPU limits (mine technically isn't supported due to the age of the CPU but would run fine if not for the lack of TPU).
The taskbar.
The default browser and how complicated it is to swap to something else.
The bugs.

Default browser is easily swapped (now)
I like the taskbar, refreshing change
Bugs, any software that size will have bugs
I also like the snap window layout, great with big and/or multiple monitors
Rufus allows you to install on unsupported hardware, only machine I own that won't run it is a relatively vintage ThinkPad, and that happily runs Kali
Probably the machine does not have TPM Version 2.0. This seems to be the biggest issue with the upgrade checker. Theories as to why it's needed are many and varied. My own HP laptop isn't compatible being 9 years old, despite it being an i7 based machine and still a very good performer.
MS are saying that Win-10 is good until at least 2025 so no rush to upgrade.

Looks like Plasma KDE or one of the pretty distros...
Biggest issue with the upgrade checker is that it refuses to run on mine as it's domain joined[1] and refers me to my "administrator"...
[1] Which is for SSO and consists of a Linux/Samba based PDC and runs of a Raspberry Pi!

Windows 11 is now quite stable so it's not a real problem to install on your PC/laptop. I run a little app called Explorer Patcher that gives me a bit more control over the start menu as I didn't like the W11 one much. Also it is quite easy to install W11 on any machine I have it on a 10 year old laptop and it runs a bit faster than W10 did.

I think his post was more by way of a premptive strike.
