Windows 11 is already quite close

(it will be available later this year, there is no fixed date) and with all the new things that technology companies do: better to prepare for what may happen and go wrong.

It is not that we do not trust that Microsoft is not going to make

a good version of Windows

, because from what we have been able to see, it seems that Windows 11 is very beautiful, very light and improves in critical aspects of security and connectivity in the than its predecessor ... well it didn't stand out too much.

And best of all, it can run Android apps.

That does not mean that even before birth he is already involved in a bitter controversy: did you know that there are

Microsoft computers with less than two years of life that will not be compatible with Windows 11

because they do not have a piece of hardware, a very specific chip, which is essential for the new version to work as they want?

Live to see ...

Be that as it may, if you want to know if your computer is going to be compatible with Windows 11, don't worry, you have it very easy: you go to this official Microsoft website, install a tool that will look at what components you use on your computer and if they all work as they want and

it will tell you if you can run Windows 11 or not

.

Be careful because the same thing first you have to go through some preparation steps, such as being 'logged in' to

your Microsoft account

, necessary yes or yes to install Windows 11 when the day comes.

You will also have to have Windows 10 relatively up to date.

If you do not want to install anything, you can take a risk by checking the components of your computer with the minimum list that Microsoft asks for.

It would be the following:

  • Processor

    : 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores in a supported 64-bit processor or system on a chip (SoC)

  • Memory

    : 4 GB RAM

  • Storage

    :

    Storage

    device of 64 GB or more

  • Firmware

    : UEFI, Supports Secure Boot

  • TPM

    : Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0

  • Graphics

    card

    : DirectX 12 / WDDM 2.x compatible graphics

  • Screen

    : more than 9 inches and with HD resolution (720p)

  • Internet connection and Microsoft account

To

know the technical specifications of your computer,

the easiest way to have this information is by following these steps: in Windows 10, click on the Windows button in the lower left corner and then on the gear that represents the menu of Setting. Once this is done, click on the first option, which should be System; and in the window that appears, in the menu on the left, click on the last option, the one called 'About'. There you can see the general characteristics of your computer.

Finally, if you do not know what the TP that appears in this list is, here we explain it better.

It turns out that if you don't have an extra module in your processor, one designed to protect the interactions between the computer and its parts to make them more secure;

you will not be able to install Windows 11. Acquiring a part, amid the widespread shortage of chip and the fact that prices have already risen like foam, is not going to be easy.

If your computer is less than two years old (an 8th generation Intel processor), rest assured: your computer carries it safely inside.

Although you may have to activate it from the motherboard BIOS.

If you do not know how to do this, when the day comes, we will prepare a tutorial so that you can activate it without problem.
