PC Health Check - Windows 11

To give a short answer, neither PC has a CPU that's on the current approved list.

Your desktop has a Gen 4 CPU. Win11 requires a Gen 8 or later. I hope that changes before release.

 

Windows says I can't upgrade to Win11, PC Heath Check says I can?

I'm trying to upgrade my PC to Windows 11, but in Windows Update it told me that my PC didn't meet the minimum requirements, using PC Health Check, I found that this was due to TPM 2.0 being disabled.

I enabled it and now PC Health Check tells me that I DO meet the requirements to upgrade to Windows 11, however Windows Update still tells me that I don't meet the requirements, I have tried rebooting and checking for new updates. How can I get Windows Update to realise that I do now meet the requirements for the upgrade?

 

PC Health check

My PC Health check suggests I install a clean version of windows. But, the warnings are

• Fresh start removes third-party antivirus software and all apps that don't come standard with Windows. This includes Microsoft apps such as Office, any desktop apps that came preinstalled on your device, and any Windows desktop apps, such
  as your device manufacturer's apps, support apps, and drivers. It keeps only Microsoft Store apps that your manufacturer installed.
• You won't be able to recover the apps that are removed. You'll need to manually reinstall them.
• You may lose your digital licenses, digital content associated with apps, or other digital entitlements for apps, which may impact your ability to use apps or app-related content that you paid for.

Can I please clarify this? Does it mean I will lose all my Microsoft office software and printer drivers? It hardly seems worth the trouble. is there a way I can just clean up my current version of windows? Many thanks.
