Windows 10: Why do I get the “This PC doesn’t meet the minimum system requirements to install this...

I have to do a fresh install of windows because the drive that windows 10 was on died. I know the problem isn’t my processor, because the windows website listed the i7-8700 as being compatible. I have 32 gigs of ram. I have a 2 terabyte and 3 terabyte drive with more than enough space space, and a 500gb ssd that is brand new with nothing on it. I have a 1080ti graphics card. I have a 2k monitor. I am in UEFI mode, I have enabled safe boot, and am using TPM 2.0. From everything I can find online, I am now at a complete loss as to what it could be.

PC does not meet minimum system requirement to run windows 11

Have a look at:

Lumia 650 not meeting minimum system requirements of 1GB

This was not the case yesterday. It was listed for mobile as well, now it is indeed listed as PC/Surface only.

But my question was not completely related to just this app, but why the store listed my device as not meeting the minimum of 1GB RAM. (Now it is indeed listed as incompatible as they removed ARM support from the architecture list). It was telling me to
check the requirements.

 

Windows 11 CPU not supported but meeting minimum requirements

Ian, this is why Microsoft kept the option of upgrading to Windows 11 open with a disclaimer.
