WSUS: Upgrade to Windows 11 not applicable

Question

We want to test the upgrade to Windows 11 in our environment.
Therefore we have added the 'Windows 11' product to our WSUS.

Now we have a few workstations that on first sight are compatible with Windows 11 (memory, diskspace, TPM2.0, ...) but they are listed in WSUS as 'not applicable' for the Windows 11 upgrade.
How can we find out what is preventing this upgrade?

Thanks for your posting on Q&A.

The PC Health Check-app doesn't work on domain clients.
You are quiet right and this is a behavior by design. But we could run the below PowerShell scripts and review the compatibility with Windows 11.
I have alredy attached the PowerShell scripts and you could have a try in your environment. Also i have already run the scripts in my lab and here is a reference screeshot for you:

Hope the above will be helpful.

You can search online for 'WhyNotWin11'. It's small software that will flag out incompatible components.
