    I had the same issue.  The problem was that I had TPM (Trusted Platform Module) disabled in BIOS.
    Once I changed it to Firmware, then it tested as OK.
    Run tpm.msc and it will tell you if it is the issue for you.

    Hopefully after running the health check app, I won't be shuffled over to the preview group.

    I don't know; I ran the check yesterday after applying fTPM and got the all clear in the app, but then got this e-mail today. Not sure how they decide whether your PC is compatible .

    I had the TPM also, and four other issues the health check didn't reveal specifically.

    Use the 3rd party check for a line by line finding.  https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11

    Then go back to this forum and work the problem. Great source of support here.  

    Thank you all here for advice saved me hours of troubleshooting .

    So what happens if your PC cannot run Windows 11, and Windows 10 will die (i.e. does not get MS support) in 2025?
    Do you throw your PC in the bin?
