The minimum requirements for Windows 11 are 4GB of RAM, at least 64 GB of storage, TPM 2.0, enabled secured boot and finally generation 8 and higher versions of the processor. Except some generation 7 processor that are compatible with windows 11.

Well, there are several ways that you can check your PC's minimum requirements for windows 11. However, the best application that you can use to check Windows 11 compatibility is the official PC Health Check app provided by Microsoft.

PC Health Check is a very powerful application that shows detailed information about which part of your computer is not compatible with windows 11.

Apparently, PC Health Check has other five options which are really quite good. Their options are backup and sync, Windows Update, battery percentage, its storage capacity, and is start up time. At the same time these options of the PC health check are going to recommend you to do something about them. Suppose I have not taken back up off my PC, in front of it it's written attention.

 

And If I click on the last option which is start up time, it will take me directly to the Settings> Apps> Startup. From there I can configure to turn those apps on or off at the startup.

PC Health Check Alternative

In any case if PC Heath Check app is not working or you are not satisfied with the app, then you can use the following alternative applications to check Windows 11 compatibility. In here, I am mostly looking for open-source solutions, because they are providing such applications before Microsoft.

They might not show you the detailed information about the PC. But overall open-source community are more active, and whenever face an issue, they are creating a solution to it. At the beginning of the PC Health Check, it had a lot of issues and Microsoft took down the app for a while. But after that they released an updated version of the PC Health.

WhyNotWin 11

The first alternative application that I am recommending to PC Health Check is WhyNotWin for the stop it is an open-source application and you can get it from GitHub.

 

After downloading the application, simply double click to run it. It will take a while to check every detail of her computer and then it will provide the result, at the end it will tell you whether your computer is compatible with windows 11 or no.

 

 

Affinity 11

Affinity 11 is a part of the open-source community, and it has a very clean interface, even cleaner than the pc health check. It is like one-page information when you launch it.

So, the first step for you is to get the Affinity 11 from Github.

 

After downloading the application, launch the app, and you will see all details of your PC. Then that way you can decide whether it is compatible with Windows 11 or no.
