I "synchronized your clock" as shown in the picture. That instantly changed my windows update to recognize that i met the requirements for the Windows 11 update. My issue occurred after updating my bios for TPM 2.0 in order to meet all the requirements for Windows 11. Hope that helps anyone that needs it, please let me know if it worked for anyone else.

    I had the same problem. If your PC meets the requirements for Windows 11, you can use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant tool instead.

     

    Just head over to the Windows 11 ISO download page and download it. I did it today and it works fine without any issues.

      Bgoodman87, this worked for me. I disabled my 'data' or 'D' drive in the bios first, so I did not lose any of that information. I then burned the ISO that I downloaded from the Windows 11 site to a USB drive and did a complete reformat and install following the Windows 11 install.

      Note: My Dell Precision 5520 did not run well during the 'insiders beta program release,' but it runs better than with windows 10 with the official release. The only issue is the battery life is halved in Win11 and it does not look like Dell is going to support Win11 on this machine with updated drivers. I will say that WSL2, VSCode and GPU passthrough work very well now.

        Update: My dell 5520 and WSL2 with GPU passthrough still runs better on windows 11 than it did on windows 10.  I have identified several unconfirmed shortcomings: 1) it does not appear that the Open Hardware Monitor tool can get accurate information from the CPU, GPU etc, particularly with temperatures.  2) The computer is unbale to enter sleep or hibernation - it will drain the battery if not shut down.  3) The battery drivers do not appear to work with windows 11.  All in all, it appears that with some driver updates for cpu, gpu and batter, the machine could operate fine with Windows 11.  Of note, could it be that the Win11 compatibility checker lies with the drivers for, or how the checker reads the CPU configuration?
