Before upgrading, you should check whether your computer meets the system requirements for Windows 11. Microsoft provides a PC Health Check Tool, which can be downloaded from their website. This tool will scan your system and inform you whether your device is compatible with Windows 11 or if upgrades are needed.
Key system requirements for Windows 11 include:
- Processor: 1GHz or faster with at least 2 cores (64-bit)
- RAM: 4GB or more
- Storage: 64GB minimum
- TPM (Trusted Platform Module) 2.0 enabled
- Secure Boot capable
If your PC does not meet these requirements, you may need to upgrade your hardware or consider purchasing a new device.
