Windows 10 End of Life: Check if your PC is Windows 11 compatible

Windows 10 desktop on an ASUS Zenbook laptop.

Microsoft is set to drop support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, which means you're likely planning the next logical step, which is upgrading to Windows 11 to continue receiving maintenance and security updates, as well as support. However, since Windows 11 has a stricter hardware requirement, it's unclear whether your existing hardware will support the upgrade.

If you're not sure whether your existing hardware configuration meets the minimum requirements, Microsoft provides the PC Health Check app that can quickly determine if your device will support the new version of the operating system.
