    You are correct, this is a behavior by design and for organizations you may try Endpoint analytics in MEM and for your connected devices, it is able to scan your environment and show you a report of device readiness. This is much easier because you don't have to run the tool in each client and you may try run a scan on your environment. Take a look at:

    Ran PS & said system failed. Looks like most of my systems will not upgrade, but not in the plan for replacement.

    Thanks for your post

    Hi there,

    Microsoft has released the official documentation for preparing the deployment of Windows 11. You can still use the tools you have used earlier for the deployment of Windows 10.

    If you use Windows Server Update Service (WSUS), you will need to sync the new Windows 11 product category. After you sync the product category, you will see Windows 11 offered as an option.
    If you use Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, you can sync the newly available Windows 11 product category.

    We have added Win11 to our WSUS.
    Now we have a few workstations that on first sight are compatible with Win11 (memory, diskspace, TPM2.0, ...) but they are listed in WSUS as 'not applicable' for the Win11 upgrade. How can we find out what is preventing this upgrade? MS PC Health Check doesn't work on domain clients.

    Windows 11 can be installed on most computers in either a supported or unsupported fashion.

    For example, there is no check when performing a clean install.

    An upgrade can be performed by modifying the registry and or files.

    There are numerous websites and youtube videos on how to perform upgrades in an unsupported fashion.

    End users must understand the pro and con.
