The PC Health Check, which was distributed on June 25, 2021 and the same day that Windows 11 was announced, is a tool that allows you to check whether your PC meets the minimum system requirements for installing Windows 11. However, Microsoft responded to the feedback because it was pointed out that when it was actually used, it showed 'whether Windows 11 is installable or not' but not the reason 'why it is not installable'.
