Microsoft releases PC Health Check app for Windows 10 in update KB5005463

The new version significantly improves compatibility testing with Windows 11 on general hardware platforms. In it, relevant information will be displayed more fully, and at the same time, the process of checking the conditions to meet the new operating system has also changed.

In addition, PC Health Check will also take on an additional role, in addition to the main feature of assessing PC compatibility with Windows 11. Microsoft says this application can now monitor device health and fix Troubleshooting to improve performance, all of which can be managed from a single, convenient and easy-to-use dashboard.
