Wrong link for system requirements in error message for unsupported environment #31512

Closed

Description

@MikeMcC399

Current behavior

Attempting to run Cypress on the unsupported architecture Windows 11 arm64 includes an error message with the link

https://on.cypress.io/guides/getting-started/installing-cypress#system-requirements

This opens the correct Cypress documentation page at the top of the page, not in the System requirements section.

Desired behavior

The link should forward to

https://docs.cypress.io/app/get-started/install-cypress#System-requirements and display the relevant section of the page.

Note the different case for the initial letter of the Bookmark System-requirements compared to system-requirements

Test code to reproduce

npm install cypress

Cypress Version

14.3.0

Node version

v22.14.0 LTS

Operating System

Windows 11 arm64 on GitHub runner image windows-11-arm pre-release
