The PC Health Check app is back for all

Microsoft have put their PC Health Check app back online. The simple tool is designed to tell you whether Windows 11 is compatible with your computer, but it was pulled offline back in June when it kept telling people with modern PCs that they couldn’t run the new operating system, with little information as to why not. It’s more recently been available to members of the Windows Insider program, but it’s back now for all.

When first taking the PC Health Check offline, Microsoftadmitted in a blog postthat the app “was not fully prepared to share the level of detail or accuracy you expected from us on why a Windows 10 PC doesn’t meet upgrade requirements.”

All my dreams are coming true.

The revised version of the PC Health Check app however will give a message that says “TPM 2.0 must be supported and enabled” in order to run Windows 11. It still can’t distinguish between motherboards which don’t support TPM2.0, and instances where it’s supported but switched off. It does, however, point usersat a guide on how to enable TPM 2.0.

It’s still not ideal, but it’s better than before. You can download the PC Health Check app fromthe bottom of this page. Windows 11 isdue to launch on October 5th.
