Windows Update says my pc doesn't meet windows 11 requirements
- Aug 04, 2026
This is a known bug and you need to apply some tricks to fix the issue.
For Win 10 to Win 11 upgrade, here is a nice guide to follow:

First install all pending Windows 10 updates, including optional firmware or driver updates from Windows Update if they apply. Then reboot, run PC Health Check again, and confirm TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot status with `tpm.msc` and System Information. If everything still passes, use Microsoft's Windows 11 Installation Assistant or the official Windows 11 ISO from the Microsoft download page. Keep your files backed up first. Windows Update can cache an older compatibility result or block an upgrade because of a driver safeguard, while the assistant may give a clearer message or proceed once the device state is refreshed.
