PC Health Check is Microsoft Corporation's lightweight system information listing application (Windows 11 Compatibility Tool), which allows Windows 10 users to officially check if their PC meets all of the requirements for installing Windows 11, the brand-new operating system that will be available at the end of 2021.

While this Microsoft PC Health Check: Windows 11 Test Tool can list some of the most basic hardware components found in desktop or laptop PCs, its major focus is on answering the question "Can I run Windows 11?" Unfortunately, its weakest characteristic is that it does not explicitly specify all of the requirements that a user's PC must meet. 

How to Check If Your Laptop Can Run Windows 11 

The app is made available online as an automatic installer that can be simply downloaded and installed on local storage by following a few easy on-screen instructions. 

Once installed, the PC Health Checker program can be used on any version of Windows 10. The app has only one dashboard screen that displays a few important hardware and OS feature listings, such as the name of the PC, its CPU, RAM size, storage size, and the presence of Windows 10 features such as Backup & Sync, One Drive Syncing, Windows Update state (the most recent installed update), storage capacity, and the last startup time. 

However, the app's main feature is at the top, where a big advertising banner introduces users to Windows 11. There, anyone can simply click the blue "Check now" button to obtain an instant alert indicating whether or not the host PC will be able to receive automatic FREE updates from Windows 10 to Windows 11. 

Minimum system requirements to run Windows 11

The PC Health Check tool primarily looks for Windows 11's strict hardware requirements, which include at least a 1GHz dual-core 64-bit only CPU, 4GB of RAM, 64GB or more of storage space, a DX12 capable graphic card, and, most controversially, the presence of a UEFI & Secure Boot capable motherboard and Trusted Platform Module. 

The second two conditions imply that only owners of relatively recent hardware components will be permitted access to the Windows 11 update. According to Microsoft, these restrictions were put in place to increase the security of its users and their data. 

This lightweight system diagnostic program can help anyone assess whether or not their PC is suitable for Windows 11. It does not provide much information regarding the update process, but it does indicate which parts of the hardware need are missing. PC Health Check (Windows 11 Compatibility Tool) is completely free and may only be used on Windows 10 PCs.

Conclusion

However, it does not provide extensive information regarding the upgrade process. It can be useful in determining which hardware requirements are missing, but it may require some experience to take the necessary action. 

Overall, the software provides a thorough study of a PC's compatibility with Windows 11, improves system stability, and prioritizes security.
