Has anyone else had the "This PC can't run Windows 11" error, even though my PC ?

This. You could also try temporarily disabling any third-party antivirus software during the install, as that sometimes interferes.

Can confirm. You could also check if there's a pending firmware update for your motherboard in Windows Update or your manufacturer's support site.

I had the same problem. For me, it was a specific driver from my motherboard's audio suite that Windows 11 didn't like during the install. Good luck!

Same here. This happened to me too. It turned out my BIOS needed an update even though all the main settings were correct.

Same here. Yeah, that BIOS update did the trick for me as well. Also double-check that your storage drivers are up to date before trying again. Good luck!
