PC Health Check - Windows 11

jessewilliams56 · Jun 26, 2021

So I updated the PC Health Check on my computers, and 2 of them won't run it due to the processor. The app says "This processor isn't supported for Windows 11". Should I purchase a new computer when Windows 11 is released? I find it very unfair the way Microsoft is handling this. Windows 10 works on all types of hardware. I think they should be more lenient with Windows 11 instead of leaving people in the dark on this.

PC's with these issues are: HP 255 G7 Laptop & HP 550-153w Desktop.

What`s wrong with continuing to use W10 ??

Exactly.

I responded with a lengthy post on 10F - I'm just gonna link it here.

PC Health Check - Windows 11 - Windows 10 Help Forums

So I downloaded the PC Health Check app on my Laptop to see if it will run Windows 11 and the message says "This PC can't run Windows 11". So my question is, will there be a workaround to bypass that when Windows 11 comes available to download?

My two cents, Microsoft will probably be forced to address this TPM and hardware compatibility issue or face class action lawsuit like what happened to Apple's $500M lawsuit for intentionally slowing down the performance of older phones. In this case, Microsoft is like rendering an old computer useless which I think will cost them an even bigger settlement amount. If our OLD computers can run Windows 10, I don't understand why it won't run Windows 11 unless there is something coded in the OS that blocks older hardware from running Windows 11.
Anyway, it is not like MS will stop support for Windows 10 right away. This PC check is probably just MS's way of collecting data from our PC because it requires an installation. Just my thoughts.
But there's a lot to discuss about this Windows 11 and it's been fun so far. I have it running on my 11 years old HP PC.

not impressed with this compatability issue microsoft

Can I take it from this that if I change my System disk to GPT with UEFI boot and Secure Boot enabled, I'm good to go?

This PC (it says here (in the PC Health main screen)) is 6 years old. I think it may be older.

Guess I'll do the MBR2GPT thing and switch to UEFI boot and enable Secure Boot and SEE.

You would think a machine that runs Pro 21H1 perfectly well should be able to run a new version, wouldn't you?

I would run the other Tool before you do that and see what it says.

The issues are all covered (I guess) if I follow through on what I proposed to do in #6 above.

AddRAM · Jun 26, 2021

I`m not sure if you can do anything about the CPU Generation, the reds you can fix, the TPM says OK, but just barely :)

You can run with TPM1.2, but it is borderline not supported. And your CPU also doesn't make the cut on what is technically supported.

Can you run it right now? Using the leaked ISO - heck, just about anyone can actually run it.

Will you be able to run the final Windows 11 released to manufacturing and the public? Absolutely no way of knowing right now.

Wonder if they plan to put out a Win11 page like Dell has?

So far: HP is Windows 11 Ready

Wellsir, I fixed them reds, and I think I can fix the TPM in the next little while, but I think I'm gonna hafta find a workaround for that processor exclusion. It'll all sort itself out with time, I hope.

Run the newest version of the tool and see what it says.

No the Github version you posted above, it has more checks now so more results.

Insider Preview builds won't prevent you from running Win11 even on unsupported machines.

@badrobot, I agree! I left Feedback for Microsoft in the Feedback Hub for them to address the TPM 2.0 requirements as well as the strict requirements for older hardware. If Windows 10 can run on old hardware, then Windows 11 can be designed, addressed, and can be released to run the same way just with new features. I mean... they forced Windows 10 on a lot of Windows 7 and 8 users, so there is no sense in leaving us in the dark now on new operating systems. They need to follow in Apple's footsteps.
