Following extensive testing, Microsoft added the following CPUs to the Intel compatibility list: Microsoft said it also took another look at Intel 7th generation and AMD Zen processors to see if any of them could be added to their Windows 11 compatibility list. In the example above, you can see that the sample system doesn't support TPM 2.0 and its processor doesn't support Windows 11. Redmond at the time said the app, which was intended to help people determine if their current PC could run Windows 11, didn't fully inform users as to why a system didn't meet upgrade requirements. Microsoft shared the first Windows 11 Insider Preview build back in June, but simultaneously muddied the waters a bit by removing the PC Health Check app from the equation. The new version of the PC Health Check app provides a more complete picture as to why a PC doesn't meet the minimum Windows 11 requirements, plus adds links to support articles to better understand roadblocks and how to alleviate them. Why it matters: Microsoft spent the past two months revamping the app and is rolling it out again to Windows Insiders.
