Select Open Windows Update to go right to Windows Update in Settings. If your device isn’t up to date or needs attention, PC Health Check will let you know. Regular Windows updates help keep your device running smoothly and securely. You can also back up your photos and files to OneDrive. They’ll then be protected and accessible across your devices. Sign in with your Microsoft account or create a new one to sync your preferences across your devices, such as passwords, Microsoft Edge browser settings like favorites and reading lists, themes, and more. Select Check now to see if your device can run Windows 11.
But for more serious problems, like a processor that isn't on one of Microsoft's compatibility lists, your only options are to upgrade to a supported processor (not always an option but possible for some AMD Ryzen desktops in particular), replace the computer, continue running Windows 10, or run an "unsupported" Windows 11 install that may or may not receive updates going forward.If you’re currently running Windows 10, PC Health Check provides a comprehensive eligibility check for your device to ensure it meets the Windows 11 minimum system requirements. You’ll get info on why your device is or isn’t eligible, plus info on what you can do if your device doesn’t meet the requirements. The new version of the Health Check app makes recommendations if your PC has easily fixable compatibility problems, like if there's a firmware TPM module that simply isn't enabled, if Secure Boot is turned off, or if you need a RAM or disk space upgrade. In our testing, it's still pretty bad at guessing the approximate age of the PC that it's running on, but it at least presents more detailed information when it's telling you that you won't be able to upgrade to a new OS.
