WhyNotWin11 is a free app

With the arrival of Windows 11, there are many users who have wondered if it is possible for their computers to make the leap to the new Microsoft operating system. We already know the requirements that must be met and, for example, we have seen how to check if our PC has TPM. But this free and open source application makes the task much easier

Away from complications and as an alternative to PC He alth Check, the official solution released by Microsoftto determine if our PC is compatible with Windows 11, a developer has published an app that is also open source and allows us to check the compatibility of our computer in seconds.

An alternative to the official application

In XDA Developers they tell how Robert Maehl has published in Github the WhyNotWin11 application . A tool that is also open source and that works much better than the official Microsoft solution. In addition, it does not require installation.

WhyNotWin11 is in charge of checking if our PC with Windows 10 meets all the requirements necessary to be able to upgrade to Windows 11. In fact , to optimize the operation, the developer has released up to nine updates in the course of two days and is already at version 2.1.0.0.

This application checks if the computer meets the criteria required by Microsoft to jump into the operating system, but the difference is that it does so with a graphical interface that clearly shows what are the points in which our PC does not comply

Let's remember that the most important problem is that many computers will not have TPM in version 1.2 or 2.0 and along with this limit with the need to use a 64 processor bits, have at least 64 GB of storage capacity and 4 GB of RAM.

• 64-bit CPU Dual Core
• A capacity of storage of 64 GB or more.
• You must have at least 4 GB of RAM.
• The PC must support TPM 1.2 or 2.0.
• The PC must support Secure Boot.

With all these parameters there will be many computers that will not be able to update to Windows 11, but if you want to be safe with this application you have another tool to add to PC He alth Check, the official proposal from Microsoft.
