So… Your PC Can’t Run Windows 11? What Now?

June 25, 2021 Dr. Bill Leave a comment

I downloaded the “Microsoft Windows Check-up Tool” for Windows 11, and ran it on my desktop PC. My PC is a Dell 9010, running an Intel Core i7 3770 @ 3.40GHz (Ivy Bridge), with 32 Gig of RAM, a 1 TB SSD, and a 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card. It failed the test. What now? Well, guess what? There is always Linux! Keep that in mind if Microsoft tells you that you are not good enough to run Windows 11! Just sayin’!

What to check YOUR PC? Here’s a link to the tool:

(By the way… I thought maybe it was that I didn’t have TPM enabled in the BIOS, but I enabled it, tried again, and still I was rejected! Microsoft is evil!)
