  1. PC running Windows 11 professional happily but won’t update as hardware incompatible!


    I bought a refurbished Windows PC 6 months ago running Windows Professional 11. Now it says the version has reached the end of its life and I should update. However it won’t let me and the Health Check says my hardware is incompatible with Windows 11. I’m baffled as Windows 11 is running happily on “incompatible “ hardware! Is there a way to continue to update Windows 11 please

    :)

    Windows 11 update runs automatically on my well-below spec computer

    Windows 11 Windows update has been running automatically on my below-spec upgraded computer and has installed updates without any action being taken on my part. I listed the particular updates in post #285. Denis
