With many Windows 10 users wanting to upgrade to the latest OS, Windows 11, they need to find out if their system is ready for the install. While Microsoft has released their own system checker named PC Health Check, this application is somewhat flawed and doesn’t provide you with my real insight into why your PC is either Windows 11 ready or if it fails the requirements.
WhyNotWin11, created by a Louisville developer, goes above and beyond what PC Heath Check does and provides you with a full deep dive into all of your PC’s components and if they’re up to scratch for what Windows 11 requires.
