How can I check if my PC meets Windows 11 requirements?
I know Microsoft has the PC Health Check app, but I’m not fully sure how to read the results, especially the “Why Not” section when something fails.

This guide will help you check if your PC meets Windows 11 using PC Using PC Health Check app and how to read the results mostly the "WHY NOT"
OR Manually Check
- Check your CPU: Press Win + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter. Look for “Processor.” Make sure it’s 64-bit, has 2+ cores, 1 GHz or faster.
- Check RAM: In the same msinfo32 window, check “Installed Physical Memory (RAM).” It should be 4 GB or more.

This has helped me. Kudos IT Support forum, and I also recommend this article about the minimum system requirements for Windows 11. https://itsupportforum.com/article/minimum-system-requirements-for-windows-11
