Shimano say their 10 and 11 so chains are not compatible and you can't use anyone else's chain rings or cassettes.
Seemingly trivial things that elicit an emotional response of some kind

Some people online have successfully fitted an FH-201 freehub body which is available for sale, but they needed to tweak it a bit. I'm not the greatest mechanic and swapping a freehub body already seems like a challenge because it involves removing loads of stuff including the bearings, so I would probably only do it if I had a like for like part.

I have an 11 speed groupset, but the cassette is a mountain bike one which fits on the 8/9/10 speed hub. If I buy a new wheel, it will be an 11 speed hub and then I will just need a spacer to make it work. I think I will then be fully modern (other than rim brakes and my bars), so it will be time for shimano to change stuff again.

It doesn't really take much fettling, and I'm 90% sure that 10 and 11 sp freehubs can be bolted onto the same hub. The dropout spacing might be marginally out I suppose, but that won't matter in practice. I ran a 142?mm hub in a very old frame with 130mm dropouts for a long time. I doubt this would have been regarded as possible.
You could just get a new hub and re-lace the wheel.
Bike shops will just tell you not to re use spokes or nipples because they've already been tensioned. This is bunkum. If it wasn't, wheels would be disposable single use items, given the variations in tension the spokes have to withstand in normal use.
Re-lacing a wheel is not a whole lot harder than remembering roughly what tone the drive and non drive side spokes should make if you ping them, and tightening them all about the same each side.
The wheel-whisperers out there will assure you that somehow the resulting construction will be bad, but honestly, providing it is not egg shaped you will not notice.

I once tried to build a wheel. Whole thing fell apart within a few hundred metres of riding.

OK. I've got a wheel lying around in storage doing nothing as I've upgraded the bike I never ride to 11 speed Ultegra so if you do fancy it just send me a message and I'll get it sent over.

I’m pleased that the frivolous child pornography law suit against Nirvana has been kicked out.
The boy, now a man, brought the case against the band despite the fact his parents were present at the photoshoot.
The fact that the photo is uncensored on the BBC gives you a good idea of how pornographic it is.

It appears that the lawyers are looking to flog the dead horse for more money with an appeal. Absolutely ludicrous.

I think all signs are pointing towards you buying a new wheel.

I think that was my original conclusion although Pross has offered an alternative.

If it is more complicated than pumping the tyres up, will you be able to do it?

Are you on a mission to offend?
Jobs I will do/have done:
1. Install complete group set
2. Change inner tube and tyres
3. True a wheel where it requires some tweaks
4. Stick insulation tape over bar tape where it is coming off
5. Align gears
6. Rim brakes
7. Replace hangar
8. Consider messing around with bearing hubs
Jobs I won't do:
1. Build a wheel
2. Forks in frame, but I can't remember why
3. Install some component that isn't designed to fit
Jobs I like doing:
1.
Jobs on the to do list (for at least a year):
1. Replace bars
2. Replace bar tape
3. Redo all the cables (as part of bar replacement), and finally get a barrel adjustor that doesn't come undone all the time
4. Stop my saddle from clicking
5. Put lights back on. That's going to need to happen soon.
Hope that helps.
