Microsoft announced that the upcoming Windows 11 will offer many modifications compared to their previous versions. The updated operating system will offer new capabilities, which have excited the majority of users, even though some users express their belief that they could offer more features.
However, there are also negatives to this upgrade, as the company issued a statement that the requirements of the new operating system might make some older technology PCs incompatible with the new version of Windows. Thus, many users would like confirmation if their computer will be able to respond to the new version of Windows. If you also want to check if your computer is compatible with the new operating system, there’s a way, by following the steps below.
The PC Health Check Tool checks your PC status
Through the new Windows 11 support page on the Microsoft site, your options and the most frequent user questions are displayed. Once you download the PC Health Check tool, you will be able to test whether your computer can run Windows 11.
Start by downloading the PC health check tool and open it. The installer will display a license term acceptance screen, where you will click on the “Install” button. After completing the application’s installation, press “End”. Make sure the “PC Health for Windows” box is selected. Once you open the tool, your PC’s configuration will appear on the left, as well as a “Introducing Windows 11” banner. To proceed, click on “Check Now”, so the tool can continue in analyzing your computer and notify you if it’s compatible or not with Windows 11.
If your PC is compatible, then a popup message will notify you “This computer can run Windows 11”. If, however, the message “This PC cannot run Windows 11” appears, you should consider buying a new PC in the future, that would be compatible with the new operating system.
This way, you can check if your computer is compatible with Windows 11 and proceed to upgrade your PC’s operating system, as soon as they’re available.
