How to force Windows 11 to update to the latest version?
Windows 11 has stricter hardware requirements than Windows 10. Even if you upgraded to Windows 11 initially, a future feature update might have new requirements that your PC doesn't meet.
TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module): This is the biggest blocker. Your PC must have TPM 2.0 enabled and functioning correctly.
Secure Boot: This security feature must be enabled in your UEFI firmware (modern BIOS).
CPU Generation: Your processor must be on Microsoft's approved list. Generally, this is Intel 8th Gen or newer and AMD Ryzen 2000 series or newer.
RAM: You must have at least 4GB of RAM (though 8GB is recommended for a good experience).
Storage: You need at least 64GB of free storage space.
How to Check:
1. Press Win + R, type tpm.msc, and press Enter. It should show "Status: Ready" and specify that it's TPM 2.0.
2. Press Win + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter. Look for "Secure Boot State" – it should say "On".
3. Go to Settings > System > About to check your RAM and see your CPU model.
Fix: If these are not enabled, you need to enter your computer's UEFI/BIOS settings (by restarting and pressing a key like F2, Del, or F10 during boot) and enable TPM (might be called "PTT" on Intel or "fTPM" on AMD) and Secure Boot. This will allow forcing Windows 11 to update to the latest version.
