You can read all the new features and changes that Windows 11 brings over Windows 10 in our massive collated changelog. Windows 11 brings lots of UI/UX changes, new features, performance and usability improvements over Windows 10. It will show you in a pop-up windows, whether your PC is eligible for Windows 11 upgrade or not.įor those interested, Windows 11 update release will be known as Windows 11 October 2021 update or Windows 10 version 21H2 and is targeted at a Octorelease. Launch the app and click on the “Check now” button.msi file (.msix file for Windows 10 in S mode) to install the tool For Windows 10 in S mode click here to download the app. You can download the “PC Health Check app” tool by clicking here.In the end it’s still a software feature fixed/improved by hardware and then used to sell more PCs because otherwise capable computers would be "too slow".I’m all for security but I should be able to decide what is too slow…you’d think MS would want a larger population to be more secure and up to date.Steps to find Windows 11 upgrade eligibility for Windows 10 & Windows 10 in S mode: I don’t remember the details but it involved hypervisor/vm technology and sandboxing and that without a recent CPU that hardware accelerates these features, it could be 20-40% slower. If true, I hope MS actually tells people at some point. I’ll probably install it anyway when is more mature and doesnt actually remove features.I did see a technical reason for why 8th gen CPU posted in the comments on a story here on Thurrott a while back and it actually made sense from a technical perspective.


If you’re in release preview ring you might see a message that your pc doesn’t meet the win 11 requirements and it offers a link to download the app.My surface pro 4 passes all requirements except the artificial CPU limit of 8th gen Intel.
