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.

    I will bow out as impractical for me as not even minimum as i have the i7/7700k,, No uefi/secureboot and just a TPM header and I dont plan on buying any p.c. in the future just upgrade my homebrew P.C. eventually..

    Many of us Insiders, typically at the forefront of software developments, are disappointed that we won't be early adopters of the shiny, new operating system. Yes, I count myself for that comment, too. We need to remember, well I assume, that Microsoft will still keep updating Windows 10 for several more years.

    Does anyone know how to get PC Health Check to do the check if you're running a home server?  Because my PC is tied to a server, all PC Health Check tells me if my PC is managed by my organization (which is me) and doesn't do anything.  Looking at the minimum specs, the only thing I think that might be an issue is the TPM requirement, which I need to look into for my motherboard (it's about a year and a half old).

    I get the same message on the Insider page under Settings/Update.

    As far as I know, Microsoft has promised to update the tool for that message in the next few weeks. Try using this alternate.

    I've checked for available updates  on 26 June, in the afternoon and again at night.  The Insider Program tab still says my PC does not meet the requirements, which is certainly does.  AMD Threadripper 3970x, 64gb RAM, and 2TB storage (I might be flexing a little, very proud of my little rig that could).

    Is there a registry entry that needs to be changed or anything else we can do on our end?  I'd like to start testing builds of Windows 11 as soon as I can
