Introduction
Microsoft has been released Windows PC Health Check, which is a tool allowing us to check whether our PCs meet Windows 11 system requirements or not. In other words, we can verify the compatibility of our PCs with Windows 11 by installing and running this tool.
To download the installation file of the PC health check tool, click the link below. Don't worry; the link will allow you to download it from Microsoft's official servers 😊
Download Windows PC Health Check
Installation
Double-click the downloaded file named WindowsPCHealthCheckSetup.msi and confirm the alert by clicking
OK.
