If your computer does not fall under this category, it becomes more likely to encounter errors during the process. Additionally, if an ineligible PC is successfully upgraded to windows 11, there are chances that it will begin to malfunction somewhere during use. To avoid any of these scenarios, you should download and run the PC health check app before a Windows 11 upgrade. This tool checks your PC for core components compatible with Windows 11.

Out of date drivers can trigger several errors while updating to Windows 11. Drivers can be updated using Windows Device Manager, however, you may have to update them one at a time. This is a long tedious process. Third-party apps like DriveFix can be used to automatically update your drivers at once before proceeding to upgrade to Windows 11.
