Windows 11 and the PC Health Check app
Windows 11 introduces new features, especially at the user interface level. They allow it to differentiate itself from its older Windows 10. Another differentiator that is a lot less pleasant concerns the minimum system requirements.
When it was discovered, controversy was quick because it made hundreds of millions of relatively young computers obsolete.

At first glance, it is not easy to answer this question and yet. As we shall see, the procedure is quite simple. It doesn’t require knowing the operating system’s exhaustive list of requirements or manually checking by manipulating your guts that the good stuff is there.
