How to fix: "This pc doesn't meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11"
- Aug 14, 2025
I've encountered a similar problem before, and it took me a long time to solve it. It sounds like your hardware meets the requirements of Windows 11, but the installation process is still stuck. This situation is sometimes not a hardware problem, but the Windows installer itself is too strict in checking the system environment.
I finally solved it with WinBootsMate. This tool is a bit niche, but it works well.

It can help you skip some of the detection steps of Windows 11 and make the installation process go smoothly.
Pimentel150 i have another problem, my pc health check say that my pc meetts windows 11 requirements but when i go to setting and windows update, it tell me that my pc doesntt currently meet the minimum requirements
reynaldor if PC Health Check passes, but Windows Update shows that message, you need to run the "Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser" task manually

Task takes a few minutes, keep refreshing until status goes from Running to Ready. Then go back to Windows Update and check for updates again.
