    From what I understand once Windows 11 has been released as an official version (if they don't review the minimum requirements in the meantime) we should still install Windows 10 stable and wait for the end of support in 2025 theoretically unless Microsoft wants to anticipate that too. date

    Yes, it seems the app checks for the soft floor instead of the hard floor.
    That is why my i5-6200U was reported as incompatible.
    Good to know that the installer does not check.
    It means I will be able to upgrade.

    yeah same thing here. But the big question remains unanswered: will we be forced to revert back to windows 10 once general availability for those who doesn't meet the soft floor requirements or still be able to stay on Windows 11 as well? Because on the insider page on settings it says: " your pc doesn't meet THE MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS recommended for windows 11. They may be issues and bugs that impact your experience"

    so technically it doesn't mean that I can't enjoy it but, means at least we will be able to receive insider builds that coming up next week. But after that?

    No, i7-6820HQ was not listed, so it seem that installer don't check that. Obviously there is lot of Win 11 capable PC's, but Health Checker is giving wrong results. --> Flood of postings in this thread.

    Clean install on Dell T3600, Xeon E5-1620 work well. Next I test clean install to Dell T5500, Xeon X5867.

    Something is wrong with the forum Editor right now, it doesn't let me insert a picture from any machine.

    I just ran PC Check on my Dell XPS 8930 with Windows 11 and it is happy with it.

    Mine was an upgrade from 19043.1081 to Windows 11 Pro.

    Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.21996.1]

    Edit:

    Now it worked when I edited the post , go figure ?
