Microsoft released Windows 11 a little over a year ago. The new Windows has higher system requirements than Windows 10, especially in terms of security. However, it is not always easy to find out whether a computer meets these requirements. Developer Robert C. Maehl has created a program called WhyNotWin11 that sheds light on all of this. The program is open source and consists of a single executable, so no installation is required. Since version 2.5.0.0 the following changes have been made:
