When using the Windows 11 installation readiness check tool, various problems can occur that complicate or delay the installation process. Some common problems are

Insufficient system requirements: One of the most common problems is that the tool indicates that the PC does not meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11. This may be due to an unsupported processor, insufficient RAM or a lack of TPM 2.0 support, for example. In such cases, a hardware update is required to install Windows 11. Compatibility issues with the TPM: Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 support, which can lead to problems with older PCs or incorrect BIOS/UEFI settings. If TPM is disabled or not available in the BIOS, the tool will display an error message indicating that installation is not possible.

Secure Boot is also required to install Windows 11, which is not available or enabled on all older systems. If Secure Boot is disabled in the BIOS, this will also be recognised as a problem.

The tool could indicate incompatible devices or drivers that are not supported by Windows 11. In such cases, it is necessary to search for updated drivers or replace the incompatible devices.

In some cases, the tool may also provide incorrect results even if the hardware is actually compatible. This may be due to errors in the tool itself or to misleading error messages.

If the system partition on the PC is too small or the hard drive does not meet certain requirements (e.g. GPT partitioning), the tool may indicate a problem that requires an adjustment to the partitioning or an upgrade of the hard drive.

If the PC is running an outdated version of Windows, the tool could show errors caused by the lack of updates or missing components in the current Windows installation.
