![]() ![]() Note: Microsoft keeps tweaking PC Health Check so if it’s not available, you might instead try the open source utility WhyNotWin11 over at Github: ĭownload the PC Health Check app – it’s pretty useful anyway – and it’s a single button click away to find out if your PC is going to be able to run Windows 11 or not. Confusingly, if you go to Microsoft’s Windows 11 info page, it still lists that the GetPCHealthCheckApp is “coming soon”, but that aka.ms link works fine. The company’s making the download available through its aka.ms URL shortcut: aka.ms/GetPCHealthCheckApp. I’ll come back to that in a bit.įor now, the easiest way to check compatibility is with the new PC Health Check app from Microsoft. ![]() What’s tripping up most people, however, is the need for a Trusted Platform Module at v2.0 or higher. Still, the basics are that you’ll need a PC with a 1Ghz or faster 64-bit CPU with two or more cores, at least 4GB RAM, at least 64GB of storage, secure boot compatibility, DirectX 12 compatible graphics, at least a 9″ HD display and an Internet connection. One consequence of that has caused a lot of heartache for users who have started checking their PCs for compatibility, however, so much that I can’t help wonder if the company will back off a bit on its Win11 requirements. ![]() Microsoft’s doing a lot of behind-the-scenes changes too, including really examining security issues and trying to create a more secure computing environment for all of us. Some subtle changes, and some really big ones (the much-maligned Start Menu is going to change completely). I’m also a fan of the user interface and user experience updates that Microsoft showed off with its introduction of Windows 11. ![]()
