    One of my computers shows the following when I run the PC Health app (emphasis is mine): " This PC can't run Windows 11. The PC must support Secure Boot. While this PC doesn't meet the requirements to run Windows 11, you'll keep getting Windows 10 updates."

    I have Secure Boot enabled in the UEFI settings. TPM 2.0 is good and shows up both in tpm.msc and Device Manager. Hardware is fairly recent, exceeding requirements, without any incompatibility notices. I can't figure out why the Health app does not appear to recognize that Secure Boot is enabled.

    I think Secure Boot require your system to boot with UEFI which requires the disk partition type to be "GPT" instead of "MBR". You can check that in DISKPART then type "list disk" . You must see the asterisk under GPT column of your system (boot) disk. If it's not you can convert it using MBR2GPT utility. After that, you must boot your computer using UEFI (Not UEFI-CSM nor Legacy mode)

    Also, do not forget to check Secure Boot mode, in my computer there are 2 modes "Windows" and "Other OS", you must select "Windows".

    Also, I think it required TPM at least 1.2 to be enabled, if your system don't have dedicated TPM module, try to check weather you have firmware TPM which is called PTT on Intel system and fTPM on AMD system.

    Hope this help . Both of my computer "Surface book 2" and "i7 7700k, 32GB DDR2, NVIDIA RTX3080 PC" don't meet the minimum requirements of Windows 11 because of they equipped with 7th gen Intel CPU (Kaby-Lake) which is stupid as they are both able to run leaked version of Windows 11 perfectly. But from what I've known, the CPU generation is a soft limit , they should not prevent the installation of Windows.

    Ideas for Windows 11

    --------

    1. Open certain programs in certain places: We  all  know  that  we  use  our  devices  in  different  places  for  different  things,  for  example,  you  won't  use  your  laptop  in  job  as  you  do  in  your  home,  in  job  you  will  open  certain  programs,  and  other  in  your  home,  so,  why  not  making  Windows  open  the  programs  you  need  in  the  places  you  are?  ,  so,  for  example,  if  you  are  at  work  and  you  mostly  open  Excel  to  manage  the  finances  of the  company  and  at  home  you  are  most  likely  to  open  Microsoft  Edge,  well,  Windows  based  on  the  places  in  which  you  are,  will  open  these  programs  for  you,  so  you  won't  need  to  do  everything  all  the  time.
    2. Optimize  Screen  Sharing  for  the  leading  companies  that  have  a  TV-line,  for  example  Samsung,  Hisense,  LG,  etc.  Later  we  can  Optimize  that  for  other  companies' devices.
    3. Make  more  improvements  to  Cortana,  because  I  feel  this  Virtual  Assistant  has  not  been  really  improved.
    4. Make  the  scroll  bar  have  rounded  corners  and  making  it  thinner  can  make  the  OS  more  cohesive.
    5. Allow  users  to  make  their  own  keybindings  much  easier.
