To-Do

  • Hard Floor Checks:
    • Cores >= 2
    • CPU Freq >= 1 GHZ
    • CPU Arch = 64
    • RAM >= 4 GB
    • Storage >= 64 GB
    • TPM >= 1.2 (Removed with recent changes from Microsoft)
    • SecureBoot
    • SMode (WhyNotWin11 is not compatible with S Mode Devices)
  • Soft Floor Checks:
    • TPM >= 2.0
    • CPU Compatibility list

How to build from source code

  1. Download and run "AutoIt Full Installation" from official website.
  2. Get the source code either by downloading zip or do git clone https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11.
  3. Right click on WhyNotWin11.au3 in the WhyNotWin11 directory and select "Compile Script (x64) (or x86 if you have 32 bit Windows install).
  4. This will create WhyNotWin11.exe in the same directory.

  • CPU Compatibility List Discussion

    CPU Compatibility List Discussion

    The CPU Compatibility list is coming from the Systems Integrator page, not an actual requirement for Windows 11 support. See the same page for Windows 10 - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/windows-processor-requirements Notice how there's a lot of missing CPUs that install Windows 10 just fine? Don't equate Systems Integrator requirements with OS requirements. These are ONLY to receive the "Windows Genuine Badge" for systems integrators - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors

    Ok, this is getting crazy now...story is changing constantly from MS camp. Best to wait?

  • Improving the user interface

    Improving the user interface

    Desirable, but not necessary. The interface will be, more symmetrical and more beautiful.

    1. Replace the letter "X" with a cross and a smaller size.
    2. Double lines of text, require vertically alignment.
    3. Preferably a horizontal line.
    4. Align "Localization Author" data vertically.
    5. Group the icons, down vertically.
    6. Lift up, header text.

  • WMI - DiskInfos: Incorrect detection with more than one Disk

    WMI - DiskInfos: Incorrect detection with more than one Disk

    We select on Bootpartition property which is problematic. This only indicates that the partition is marked as active. But not that it is the system partition of the bootet os.

    Can be a problem if ext. bootable drives are connected.

    We should use a more complex querry.

    Affected checks: GPT, Drive space

    @rcmaehl I can upload a poc in powershell tomorrow. We can combine tables to detect the partition based on var $systemdrive.

    Added accessibility for users with screen readers.

    These changes add compatibility and accessibility for users with screen readers via keyboard shortcuts where it will allow you to have easy access to information about compatibility with Windows 11 with these supported screen readers: ▲ JAWS For Windows ▲ Sapi5

    keyboard shortcuts:

    CTRL + SHIFT + 1: VIOS type information and if it is compatible. CTRL + SHIFT + 2: CPU information. CTRL + SHIFT + 3: GPT information. CTRL + SHIFT + 4: Installed ram information.

  • Improve disk checks

    Improve disk checks

    Details

    This PR improves the disk checks: GPT and space. The PR introduces changes in UI and check/WMI code.

    • Now show only result for system disk and system partition. (Where Windows directory of bootet OS is located).
    • New checks can return an array with check data for all internal disks:
      • GPT: ["Disk number", "Partition style", "Check result"]
      • Space: ["Disk number", "Size (GB)", "Check result"]
    • Information displayed to user is improved.

    Additions:

    • Update _GetDiskInfoFromWmi() to v1.4.1
    • Small improvements and fixes on code base.

    Fixes: #385, #400, #417

    Screenshots

  • Storage capacity should be handled in gigabyte, not gibibyte.

    Storage capacity should be handled in gigabyte, not gibibyte.

    Windows treats gibibytes as gigabytes for convenience, but the Windows 11 requirement gigabytes are not.

    The required "64 GB" for Windows 11 is "59.6046 GiB". Windows then displays this as "59.6 GB". For devices of this capacity, the official check tool displayed "64 GB", which met the requirements of Windows 11. However, in WhyNotWin11, "59.6 GB" is displayed and "NG" is displayed.

    This is probably due to the difference in how GiB and GB are handled, and I think the WhyNotWin11 calculation method needs to be changed to the "correct" GB units.

  • Improve layout for space check and GPT check

    Improve layout for space check and GPT check

    I want to improve the checks for "GPT" and "Disk space".

    GPT

    • Green = System disk is GPT
    • Red = System disk is not GPT
    System drive: GPT|MBR
Drive meets/doesn't meet requirement.

    Disk space

    • Green = System partition and System disk >= 64 GB
    • Yellow = System partition < 64 GB and System disk >= 64 GB
    • Red = System partition and System Disk < 64 GB
    System volume (C:): 250 GB (on Disk 0: 900 GB)
1/4 internal disks meet requirement.

    @rcmaehl Are you okay with this? Then please assign me. Who does it work with the translation changes? Dow we need an extra issue then?

  • Missing check on Developer Mode

    Missing check on Developer Mode

    Describe the bug
    The tool reports that machine is ready for Windows 11, but when running the Windows 11 Installation Assistant, it refuses to install without any clear message.

    To Reproduce
    Steps to reproduce the behavior:

    1. Enable Developer Mode on Windows 10.
    2. Run WhyNotWin11, the machine checks are all green.
    3. Run Windows 11 Installation Assistant, it says PC doesn't meet the requirements.
    4. Disable Developer Mode, and try Windows 11 Installation Assistant, it now passes the requirements.

    Expected behavior
    WhyNotWin11 should include a check that Windows 10 is in Developer Mode, and tell the user if it fails the check.

  • Why these 3 lines in 0000.lang have blank space before

    Why these 3 lines in 0000.lang have blank space before "="?

    Seems to be inconsistent to have these spaces before "=" only in these 3 lines:

    https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11/blob/a3c91becaa3b9bc5621011677562c15c6eed4008/Langs/0000.lang#L83-L85

    If spaces were a typo, then would be good if all lang files with these 3 lines would get unnecessary spaces removed in single pull or commit, because it's a small change.

    Fix Storage detection on WinPE. Advise on required WinPE setup for proper results.

    Describe the bug there is a use case to run WhyNotWin11 under a Win PE environment. see Windows-11-Kompatibilität ermitteln – ohne installiertes Windows but doing it WhyNotWin11 will show some data wrongly:

    • the partition type of the external boot media (WinPE) is shown but the internal media should be taken.
    • the available size of partition of the external boot media (WinPE) is shown, but the internal media should be taken.
    • the real graphic card capability isn't able to detect, because of the limited driver of the WinPE environment.

    To Reproduce

    • create a windows installation media
    • copy WhyNotWin11 to that media
    • boot PC into the windows install media
    • hit [Shift]+[F10] to open a cmd box
    • run WhyNotWin11.exe in the cmd-box

    Expected behavior i would expect that data that can not be detected correctly under a WinPE environment would be marked as status "Unknown"

    • Added New Supported Intel Processors
    • Re-Added Cross for Failed Checks for Accessibility
    • Removed "Unsure" Result for CPUs now that Microsoft testing is complete
    • Added Note that WIndows 11 can be installed, but not updated to, if you completely delete your existing Windows 10 data

    (Various other minor changes to be documented in 6-8 hours)

    Note from the Programmer:

    Microsoft's Business team has confirmed that Windows 11 can be installed on old hardware! The only thing you have to do is COMPLETELY WIPE your old Windows 10 install and install a clean version of Windows 11. Additionally, it appears Microsoft will be releasing a reasonably clear version of the PC Health Check tool "soon", and I expect popularity of this project to die off. If you need a feature that the new check tool doesn't have, please create an issue so I can try to fill any remaining niches!

    Thank you for using WhyNotWin11
