The PowerShell script will list the reasons why a PC failed the Windows 11 upgrade check based on its storage, memory, processor, Secure Boot capability and absence of a TPM 2.0 chip.
It is possible for users of the older Configuration Manager product to run Microsoft's PowerShell script using the "Run Scripts" feature, the announcement indicated. To run the script at scale, we recommend leveraging Microsoft Endpoint Manager.
To determine whether an individual device meets the system requirements for Windows 11, you can run the script locally from an elevated PowerShell prompt. Here's how that idea was expressed in the announcement: It'll take something like a Microsoft Endpoint Manager subscription or a Microsoft Intune subscription to check Windows 11 hardware readiness across a computing environment. Unfortunately, the newly released PowerShell script just runs locally on a PC. Organizations with lots of PCs likely want a quick way to see if their fleet of PCs will be capable of Windows 11 upgrades, based on the hardware requirements. The all-64-bit Windows 11 operating system also requires machines to have a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 chip installed, although they've been a requirement for new PCs since July 28, 2016. The main potential stumbling block is Microsoft's requirement for PCs needing to have mostly eighth-generation processors. Windows 11's minimum hardware requirements could exclude PCs that are just three years old. Microsoft on Tuesday announced the release of a PowerShell script for checking hardware readiness for Windows 11 upgrades, and promised an Endpoint Analytics tool will be arriving "over the next few days."
