    Hi @MGD True North

    If you are getting the "This PC doesn't currently meet Windows 11 requirements" error message when trying to upgrade a Windows 10 22H2 test machine to Windows 11, it means that your PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11.

    Here are the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11:

    • 64-bit processor with at least 1 GHz clock speed and 2 or more cores
    • 4 GB of RAM or more
    • 64 GB of storage or more
    • DirectX 12 compatible graphics / WDDM 2.x
    • UEFI firmware with Secure Boot capability
    • TPM version 2.0
    • Internet connection and Microsoft account for setup

    If your PC does not meet these requirements, you will not be able to upgrade to Windows 11. You can check the system requirements for Windows 11 using the PC Health Check app, which is available for download from the Microsoft website.

    If your PC meets the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11, but you are still getting the error message, it could be due to other factors such as incompatible drivers or software. You can try updating your drivers and uninstalling any incompatible software before attempting the upgrade again.

    You could also reach out to support for further diagnosis of this issue if not resolved.
