Answer 1

The Windows update compatibility check runs a scheduled task that runs periodically compared to PC Health Check App which shows information in real-time. So, if you turned on a requirement like TPM recently, the status in Windows update would take a while to change, so give it a day or two. If you cannot wait, update manually using the steps below:

Check Windows 11 compatibility

Use the Installation Assistant to Download Windows 11

Alternatively, download an ISO file and Run Setup.exe to Start the Upgrade, using Windows 11 Media Creation Tool.

Hi Funkies_RD,

As I said Windows update checks periodically. As you changed TPM Settings recently, I suggest you waiting a day or two.

Hi Sumit,

I have used the WindowsPCHealthCheckSetup and initially it did mention about TPM & UEFI, but those are now corrected, but still getting the message - can't upgrade. My specs -

MS won't be updating the CPU list anymore. You can, however, clean-install Win11 if all other req. are met.
