I've been trying to upgrade to Windows 11 since Windows 10 is reaching its end of life. Initially, my PC was marked as incompatible, but after using the tool WhyNotWin11, I confirmed it's good to go. I've enabled secure boot and reformatted my disks, but when I check for updates, I'm still told that my PC doesn't meet the requirements for Windows 11. Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can troubleshoot to complete the upgrade?

A common issue is that the "PC Health Check" tool might be outdated. Try redownloading the latest version of it from Microsoft's site and see if it changes its mind about your compatibility.
You should check your specs to make sure everything lines up. For instance, you're running an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and a compatible motherboard, which is good. But if a crucial component isn't up to date, it might affect the upgrade.
Sometimes Windows can be a bit finicky with detection. Instead of upgrading, you might want to try a clean install. Use a USB drive to install Windows 11 and make sure to back up all important files first. Also, disconnect other drives during the installation to avoid any complications.
If you're creating a USB installer, consider using Rufus to bypass Windows 11 requirements. It can help with a fresh install directly and might resolve your issues.
