Windows 11 upgrade checker tool for system requirements from windows 10?
If PC Health Check says your PC isn't supported but doesn't give clear reasons, use these built-in Windows tools for a detailed diagnosis.
1. Check TPM (Trusted Platform Module)
This is the most common stumbling block.
Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
Type tpm.msc and press Enter. This opens the TPM Management console.
Look under Status. It should say: "The TPM is ready for use."
Check the TPM Manufacturer Information section to confirm the Specification Version is 2.0.
2. Check Secure Boot & CPU Generation
Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
Type msinfo32 and press Enter. This opens the System Information panel.
Look for the following lines:
Secure Boot State: Should say "On".
BIOS Mode: Should say "UEFI".
Processor: Check the model name (e.g., "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K"). You can then google this model to see if it's 8th Gen or newer.
This is the official Windows 11 upgrade checker tool provided by Microsoft.
