Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
The requirement checker should specify WHY it thinks the computer doesn't meet requirement instead of just saying it doesn't.
I meet all requirements on paper and according to tpm.msc I have version 2.0, so I'm very confused as to what the problem is in my case.
Hi. Insider Settings say my desktop PC doesn't meet minimum requirements.
PC Health Check tool however says I do.
Which one is correct?
That list is insane! My old i5-4960k from 2014 runs the win 11 leak like butter, it's so smooth.

What exactly is wrong here, could you guys please explain? If it's due to me having a 7th Gen processor released in 2018, then I am really shocked to see a 3 year old processor and a 1.5 year old system getting dropped from the supported list. I expected better.
My system is Acer Predator Helios 300 (G3-572), It checks all boxes of compatibility for windows 11.
but still, the PC health Checkup shows error.
My theory is that 8th generation Intel procs are required. 7th gen and below don't seem to meet the specs even though everything else does. Wish someone from MS would confirm this.
