For users who are receiving the following message in your Windows Insider Settings:

Your PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. Your device may continue to receive Insider Preview builds until Windows 11 is generally available, at which time it is recommended to clean install to Windows 10.

We've made an update to Settings to resolve some issues. Please reboot your device to ensure you have the latest update.

    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.

    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

    EDIT: Clean install to Dell T5500 (Xeon X5687, not 5867) work also.

    Thanks, at this point it makes no sense to stay in the Insider channel if once I have worked to improve Windows 11 I cannot use it, I format the pc and install it on stable Windows 10, then in 2025 we will see what to do maybe I will switch to Linux
