Windows 11 can be upgraded for free! However, it is limited to cold PCs… – Yajiuma no Mori

Windows 11 has finally been officially announced, with all kinds of rumors. Looking at the screenshots and information available now, it looks like it will be a very promising operating system. Fortunately, upgrading from Windows 10 is free!

I’m curious about the conditions… Is TPM 2.0 (what’s delicious) required? DirectX 12 or later (how many supported)? Microsoft set up a scan tool for me.

You can check if your device meets the requirements for “Windows 11” by using the Computer Health Check tool distributed by Microsoft.

“Windows 11” does not support 32-bit CPU secure boot, TPM 2.0 is mentioned as required

I immediately downloaded it to my main computer and checked it out. The results are as follows.

However! Why!? I got a great verdict that “Windows 11 cannot run on this computer”. I tried to check the various causes with “CPU-Z” and “GPU-Z”, but I’m not sure. The terms must have been cleared up in other parts as well…

The CPU is “Haswell” generation and supports TPM 2.0

Supports GPU DirectX 12

WDDM is also scanned with version 2.5
