WhyNotWin11 is a better replacement for Windows 11's PC Health Check
2021-06-26 18:55

An open-source application called WhyNotWin11 acts as a better drop-in replacement for Microsoft's PC Health Check app to determine if your hardware is compatible with Windows 11.

This week, Microsoft announced that the next version of Windows is Windows 11 would be the next version of Windows and that it would be released as a free upgrade this fall.

As part of this announcement, Microsoft also published Windows 11's minimum hardware requirements needed to upgrade or install Windows 11.

Microsoft released the PC Health Check app to check your computer's hardware and tell you if it is compatible with Windows 11.

Microsoft's first version of the PC Health Check app did not tell users what hardware was failing tests, leading to even more confusion.

Instead of just giving vague responses like the PC Health Check tool, WhyNotWin11 will list each requirement and show where your computer's hardware is lacking.
