If your machine is compatible, you can download the Windows 11 update for free.

If your machine isn't compatible, you'll get a message that says, ' This PC doesn't currently meet Windows 11 system requirements,' with more information below. The app home page that pops up says, 'PC health at a glance.' At the top, a box reads, 'Introducing Windows 11.' Click Check now. Here's what you'll see after running the updated Microsoft PC Health Check app if your device is not compatible with Windows 11.Ģ. Make sure the box is checked that says Open PC Health Check, and click Finish. Open the file, agree to the terms of service and click Install. The only utilities I've ever found that come as close as possible to 100% TDP are Prime95 v26.6 Small FFT's for thermal testing, which is a steady workload, and Asus RealBench for stability testing, which is a fluctuating workload.Īlthough the topic of Prime95 (with and without AVX) was covered, I would like to have seen RealBench included in your test suite, as it's widely accepted as an excellent utility for testing overall system stability, and uses a realistic AVX workload.Option 1: Use Microsoft's PC Health Check app to see if your computer can run Windows 11įollow these steps to test whether your PC meets the system requirements for Windows 11.ġ. However, since Intel validates their thermal specifications at a steady 100% TDP, it's most appropriate to select utilities that don't overload or underload the CPU. This article provides some excellent comparisons.

Since most users test their rigs without a sense of scale for power and temperature, they can't compare apples to apples, especially when combined with major variables such as differences in ambient temperature, hardware configurations and software utilities. Otherwise, great work!

Nevertheless, our results are very similar. The Intel Temperature Guide differs in its approach toward the topic of processor Core temperatures and cooling with respect to Intel's TDP specifications, and distinguishes between steady workloads for thermal testing versus fluctuating workloads for stability testing.

This article provides a perspective and some excellent comparisons.
