I've been trying to update my PC to Windows 11, but I keep getting a message saying I don't meet the requirements. However, I've run a PC health check and a Whynotwin11 check, and everything is coming up green! I've checked things like architecture, CPU compatibility, RAM, Secure Boot, TPM version, and more, but I'm still stuck. What could be the problem?

If you're dealing with a custom-built PC, it may have a cloned operating system that could be using an illegal license. That can often block updates like this. Double-check your license status!

Make sure to double-check your motherboard specifications, especially regarding TPM support. If your motherboard doesn't support TPM, that could definitely be causing the issue.

Are you using the official Windows 11 installation media? It could help if you share a screenshot of what the health check says alongside the error you're encountering when trying to upgrade.

Sometimes, corrupt service account profiles can interfere with the update process. Check the Windows system event log for any 7005 errors; they could be blocking the update. You might want to look into fixing user profile issues.
