Ever since Microsoft announced Windows 11, the compatibility and readiness of our PCs to upgrade to Windows 11 has been under discussion. Windows 11 needs certain conditions that must be duly met to install it on our PC.
Microsoft earlier released a PC health check tool to determine if our PCs are compatible with Windows 11. It had to be taken down after failing to give the correct reasons why some PCs are incompatible. Then came third-party tools WhyNotWin11 and Checkit which attempted to tell PC users whether their hardware would be compatible with Windows 11 or not.
With the freshly released Compatibility check with Ashampoo Windows 11, we can know if our PC is compatible to run Windows 11 or not. Not only does it give us the compatibility result, but also the right reasons and possible solutions to make our PC compatible. To put it simply, Windows 11 Compatibility Check is a friend that checks whether our PC can handle the requirements of Windows 11 and if it cannot handle it, it also guides us to make the changes in our PC.
