This report provides insights into device compatibility based on the hardware and software requirements set by Microsoft for Windows 11. It allows IT admins to see which devices meet the necessary criteria, which do not, and what specific requirements (like TPM version, Secure Boot, RAM, etc.) are unmet.

Device Compatibility Check: Lists devices and indicates if they are eligible for an upgrade to Windows 11.
Detailed Compatibility Information: Provides specific reasons a device may not be ready, such as lack of TPM 2.0, incompatible processor, or insufficient RAM.
