How to fix ‘This computer cannot run Windows 11’?
Now, many users are encountering the error “This computer cannot run Windows 11” through PC Health Check even though their PC more than meets the minimum requirements; How to avoid this error?
The Windows Report website offers us a solution. The first step is to check that our motherboard has a TPM 2.0 chip, a component present in most computers, although if your PC is a few years old, it may not have it. So you can check if your motherboard has it:
Press Windows key + R.
Type the command tpm.msc.
Click OK.
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Management Console window will open, where you can check if the value 2.0 appears in the Specification Version section. If you cannot open this window on your PC or an error appears, your motherboard does not have the TPM chip or it is disabled.

Restart the PC and access the boot menu by pressing F2, F11 or the delete key (depending on the PC) while Windows is starting.
