The Windows update compatibility check runs a scheduled task that runs periodically compared to PC Health Check App which shows information in real-time. So, if you turned on a requirement like TPM recently, the status in Windows update would take a while to change, so give it a day or two. If you cannot wait, update manually using the steps below:

Check Windows 11 compatibility

Download Windows 11

Use the Installation Assistant to Download Windows 11

Alternatively, download an ISO file and Run Setup.exe to Start the Upgrade, using Windows 11 Media Creation Tool.

    I have the same problem that PC Health Check says that my computer is ready for win 11 and when i go to windows update it tells me that its not compatible. When I tried to download windows 11 with the assistant the download worked and I waited for about an hour. But when it restarted after the download the green screen of death popped up and it said "Your windows insider build ran into a problem. And after windows tried to fix it a couple of times It uninstalled win 11 and went back to win 10. Ive done this 4 times now and it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know how to avoid this green screen of death?

    Dear Microsoft,

    I would like to file a complaint about the support for the Kaby Lake 7700k processors for Windows 11.

    I would like to say I am very indignant to the Microsoft's approach in this case. I would like the company to take this matter further and include these processors in the supported ones. Not only it is capable of running it, also has working TPM 2.0 in my case, as it was marked verified in the pc health checker app. Also this specific processor is even better in performance in some cases, than the newer generation ones. Thank you for your attention.

    best regards,

    Adam F.
