Step 5: Troubleshooting Incompatibility Issues

If the PC Health Check Tool shows that your system is incompatible, consider the following:

1.    TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot Issues:


    • Go to your BIOS/UEFI settings and enable TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot if they are disabled.
    • Refer to your motherboard’s manual or manufacturer’s website for specific instructions.

2.    Processor Compatibility:

    • Verify if your processor is listed on the Windows 11 supported CPU list on Microsoft’s website.

3.    RAM and Storage:

    • Make sure you have at least 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of free storage available.
