Windows 11 Compatibility Checker

The newest iteration of the Windows operating system is to be launched by the end of 2021, as Microsoft announced. With Windows 11 is already on the way, it’s only natural for you to wonder if your computer’s hardware specifications meet the minimum requirements of the next generation of Windows. Without the minimum specifications Windows 11 needs, you will not be able to upgrade the OS.

While you could look the specifications manually, there are also small applications out there ready to check the Windows 11 compatibility for you and provide information on the changes to make in order to run the new OS. One of them is suggestively called Windows 11 Compatibility Checker.

The Windows 11 operating system will not run on any machine, and its requirements are already available for the public. In essence, what the Windows 11 Compatibility Checker does is check the specifications of your computer and compare them with the minimum requirements of Windows 11.

The comparison results are shown within its main window, each having either a green checkmark or a red "X" icon to show you where the machine is lacking.

Windows 11 Compatibility Checker provides the compatibility test results at a glance. It starts with the processor type and model, the RAM memory and the GPU, the CPU architecture and the BIOS mode.  Secure boot is also a requirement, and so is the TPM.

The screen resolution and the available free storage is also verified, as Windows 11 needs at least 64GB to be installed.

Windows 11 Compatibility Checker is one of the many applicationsthat provide a compatibility test for the Windows 11 requirements. What makes this one stand out from the crowd is its open-source license, its simplicity and its ease of use.
