in Windows Hardware Compatibility Program guidance for Windows 10, version 21H2 on Oct 28 2021 12:37 AM

Thanks for that explanation, tho' I'm afraid the distinction isn't too obvious to me. MS ought to make it clearer that its compatibility list is for those making new computers, not existing ones.However, I'll contact Dell and see what they have to say.

@Zarathrustra , @jbpichette , @hheinen1 You may have found this page because of the word "compatibility", but this page(blog) is intended for application or hardware development companies.If you want to check the compatibility of Windows 11 itself, you'd better check with your PC manufacturer.
