Your PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for windows 11.

Hi here are the basic information - I believe that a clean installation will solve the problem!

but remember that Win11 is under development - it can not be used as a production version - only a test version!

Good luck

I am having the same issue. I have a new build. Bought a new MB and CPU (both are on the compatibility list) for testing. Clean install. Is there a way to clear the initial scan and have Windows verify again?

  Sure!
  I am getting the standard "Hardware does not meet..." This is on a complete newly purchased build with approved hardware. The Insider Program screen is telling me I don't meet the requirements. I have looked up everything, and I do meet the requirements.
  
  Is there a reset or registry setting I can hit that will cause Windows to rescan my machine?

    Just because this is a new computer does not mean that the installed software by the manufacturer does not cause conflicts!
    Therefore, to avoid such problems - iso is downloaded from the site to do a clean installation for the Dev Channel.
    Notifications in the trial versions are not always true - experience is necessary here.
