On June 24, Microsoft officially announced Windows 11 as the successor to Windows 10 and this new operating system comes with massive improvements for everyone. Windows 11 is technically Windows 10 with a visual makeover and general improvements, but it requires new hardware features due to security reasons.

Now, the PC Health Check Tool has been updated and it can tell you the reason why your device is not supported for Windows 11. PC Health Check Tool version 2.3 comes with new pop-ups to help users determine the root cause of compatibility issues and their workarounds. “We just made updates to the PC Health Check App. It now provides more detailed info on requirements not met,” Microsoft said.

Even if you don’t meet the above requirements, you can still run the new operating system on devices with processors from Intel, AMD and Qualcomm. To update the PC Health Check Tool, you will need to download the new version and run the .msi installer, which will automatically replace the old version.
