    So, is secure boot enabled required for Win11?  Looks like a big problem for those of us dual booting with Linux.

    Intel  i5 7th gen, geforce  MX  940, 500gb free  space, 16gb ram, TPM  2.0, uefi  secure boot  enabled  and  wddm  2.7 with  direct  x12.

    How come I'm not compatible to upgrade??

    Also the pc  health check tool  is  pretty useless. It doesn't actually  show  the  incompatible hardware.

    Oh well, checked all my PC's and notebooks and none appear to be compatible with Windows 11.

    My fastest PC is only 4 years old, with 32GB ram and 2 x 1TB SSD's, plus a few HDD's

    The app should really tell you what's missing, not just say "not compatible"
