  1. Pchealthcheck says it is compatible but my installation fails and says it isn’t compatible


    I have followed instructions to change from MBR to GPT. I have done everything I had to and PC Health Check finally said I could install windows 11. Every time I try it fails and says that it does not meet the requirements. I have tried the installation assistant and I have tried installing from a USB drive.

    Splash screen says "this PC is unable to run windows 10" - Compatibility report says "You're Good to Go"

    I have a weird issue where the Windows 10 App is giving different information depending on what screen I am on.

    When I first open the app it says "Unfortunately, this PC is unable to run Windows 10" (See screen shot below)

    Pchealthcheck says it is compatible but my installation fails and says it isn’t compatible 417c1062-34da-41e9-843b-b5111b291b3d.jpg

    So I click on the "View Report" to check the compatibility issue and I get a clean bill of health saying "You're good to go, Your PC will work with Windows 10"

    Pchealthcheck says it is compatible but my installation fails and says it isn’t compatible 8b9e6d02-5777-481b-a89e-f31c7793461d.jpg

    What gives? I have not seen the temp folder showing that any files are getting downloaded in preparation for an install.

    Background:

    • The first time the compatibility report ran I had the widely reported issue of the CPU being reported as incompatible. I followed the instructions for forcing the patch for the App to be installed and I forced the compatibility checker to be re-run by following
      the steps over here How to Fix: CPU Not Compatible with Windows 10 Error (steps that are also suggested on this forum)
      • for whatever reason I got a confirmation saying that the compatibility checker had run in the command prompt but when I opened the app the last run day was from over a month ago and it still listed my CPU as being incompatible
      • Tried several more times with the same result
    • When the Launch date happened the App must have run itself as the "last run" date changed to 7/29 and the compatibility check says I am all good. But the splash screen still says this PC is unable to run windows 10
    • Uninstalling the app and re-downloading the necessary KB's doesn't fix the problem
    System info:

    • Lenovo W520 4270CTO
    • CPU: i7-2960XM @ 2.70 GHz
    • Video Card - Intel HD Graphics
    • Video Card Discrete - NVIDIA Quadro 2000M
    • Windows 7 SP1 64 bit
    Any thoughts / suggestions? Thanks!

    Windows says my display isn't compatible - but it meets their specs


    The W10 compatibility test says that my graphics card - an ATI Radeon Xpress 200 - is not compatible with Windows 10, but I think it should be - it meets their minimum requirements of DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0. Any suggestions/ideas please? Cetrtainly the graphics on my current Windows 7 OS seem fine.

    Cortana isn´t working

    When I hit enter, it did something, but there´s still no Cortana, even after restart. So I tried it again, but now it says that it failed, because it´s already installed and it´s working in PC. So it should work, but Cortana still isn´t here.
