    health check

    MS has supposedly updated the PC Health check app to provide some additional information.

    If your I7 isn't Generation 8 or newer, it'll be flagged as incompatible. Even if it has much higher capabilities than listed in the hardware requirements.

    Correct. It installs an app so it doesn't appear in any list of installed updates. And when you uninstall it a registry setting is added to prevent it ever installing again.

    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.
