Free compatibility check
Windows 11 has hardware requirements that a lot of otherwise healthy PCs fail on — usually TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, or an unsupported processor. Some of those are switched off in firmware rather than missing, so a machine that reports itself as incompatible is often just one setting away from being fine.
- Processor, TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot checked properly, not just via the Microsoft tool
- Firmware settings reviewed — plenty of “incompatible” PCs simply have TPM disabled
- A clear yes or no, and the reason, in writing
- No charge and no obligation to book anything afterwards
Migration with everything kept
The upgrade itself is the easy part. The work is making sure nothing is lost on the way and that the machine is actually pleasant to use afterwards.
- Full backup taken before anything is touched
- Files, programs and settings carried across
- Email accounts, browser profiles, bookmarks and saved passwords kept
- Printers, scanners and Wi-Fi reconnected
- Drivers updated and the new install tidied up
- A short walkthrough of what has moved, if the layout changes throw you
If your PC does not qualify
A failed compatibility check is not automatically a reason to replace the machine. Depending on the hardware, there are usually three honest options, and one of them is often much cheaper than the others.
- Upgrade the parts that are holding it back, where that is realistic and worth it
- Move to a different machine, with your data brought across and the old one wiped securely
- Switch to Linux — genuinely comfortable for browsing, email, documents and video, and it keeps older hardware safe and useful
- Straight advice on which of these makes sense for your machine, including when the answer is “leave it alone”
For business
Several machines at once is a different job from a single home PC — it needs to happen without stopping work.
- Audit of every machine and what each one needs
- Migration staged out of hours or one machine at a time
- Line-of-business software checked for compatibility first
- Microsoft 365 accounts, shared drives and printers carried over
- One point of contact for the whole rollout
