Other versions clarified that the new edition of Windows would be installed automatically on computers with Windows 10. However, it is not reliable information verified so far as such.
Is your computer compatible with Windows 11?
Knowing which computer is compatible with Windows 11 may sound like a complicated process, but the reality is different. Microsoft has ruled on the matter because, to date, there are still doubts about the operating system.

If it is not compatible, the application will immediately produce a report that will warn the user about what happened. In the same way, it will suggest what are the minimum requirements for a computer to be able to excellently process Windows 11 edition.
What are the requirements for a computer?
With Windows 11, Microsoft plans to increase the productivity of its users by a large percentage. Videos and reviews about the operating system have fully endorsed its use, as well as the awesomeness of its features.
Unfortunately, not everyone will have access to it; not without first buying a computer that is suitable for the task. That is why, in addition to the PC Health Check application, there are other methods to identify the minimum installation requirements.
Processor
The first point is to consider the processor of the computer. Those with at least 1 GHz or more will be able to support the functionality that Windows 11 describes. But it also needs to work at 64 bits or, failing that, incorporate a certified chip system (SoC).
RAM
The minimum requirements in this case outlined by Microsoft establish that a RAM of 4 GB will be enough to cope with the process.
However, it must be combined with a processor of the aforementioned characteristics, as well as with an internal storage of 64 GB.
Graphic card
The graphics card is the component of the computer that facilitates the processing of data corresponding to image and video.
Windows 11 is one of the operating systems that most require it, so its incorporation is important. According to Microsoft, it must be compatible with DirectX 12 or WDDM 2.0.
Screen
While it may not seem like a top-of-the-line factor, it actually does play a key role in installing and using Windows 11.
Minimally its dimensions should be around 9 inches and work with a definition of 720 pixels. At the same time, another feature it should contain is an 8-bit per color channel.
Connectivity
There are components of Windows 11 that require a stable Internet connection to take full advantage of it.
Similarly, a Microsoft account will be required to be able to maneuver through the system. Otherwise, productivity will progressively decrease at the time of some work.
Take into account that...
Even when the minimum requirements for Windows 11 to be installed are met, optimal performance is not guaranteed.
Microsoft clarifies that there will be particular applications or tasks that will exceed the aforementioned specifications. In other words, the computer must have other additional properties that can solve some processing inconvenience.
