The Verification of PC Health was given an update this week shortly after the complaints of the Windows 11 seekers in revelation of the week. This is the week at which Windows 11, PC Health Check was a very popular download of Microsoft. Microsoft provides a PC health verification as a simple means to automatically verify many things, including the requirements for the future update of a PC to Windows 11.
Before today PC Health Check will be updated, users would potentially see a relatively vague message with “this PC can not run Windows 11”. All the alert will be added after this was “While this PC does not meet the system requirements to run Windows 11, it will continue to receive Windows 10 updates.” The application linked the user to a page of Windows 11 requirements online, but users were required to do their own research from that point.
The new version of PC Health Check makes the entire process more instantaneously accourable. If the user reviews its PC for compatibility with a possible potential update to Windows 11 and its PC does not comply with the requirement, a slightly more detailed explanation of the reasons why does not meet the requirements is shown.
Microsoft Director of OS Security David Weston revealed the update this afternoon with several examples of results that users can see when verifying their PC for Windows 11 compatibility. A user can see the message “The PC must be compatible with Secure Boot” o “The processor is not compatible with Windows 11” or “The system disc must be 64 GB or larger”.
The most likely candidate for a message “can not run Windows 11” is “TPM 2.0 is a requirement to run Windows 11”. Even the most powerful and connected PCs are not compatible with Windows 11 if they do not have TPM 2.0. The description page of the Tech platform of the trusted platform in Microsoft shows more about what TPM does and what machines work with this technology.
You may also want to take a look at the reason why TPM 2.0 is not negotiable for Windows 11. Microsoft is not moving in this.
A wide variety of PC manufacturers have released PCs in recent years with support for TPM 2.0. Dell, HP, Lenovo, Panasonic, Acer, ASUS and Microsoft themselves have created devices capable of TPM 2.0. If you have purchased a PC in the last half decade, you are likely to have a PC that is capable of using TPM 2.0, or already has TPM 2.0 on by default: whenever you have the most recent firmware update for your machine.
