Windows 11: Everything you need to know

Watch Now

Microsoft’s new PC Health Check app, originally intended for users to check whether their hardware was compatible with Windows 11, is now available to install on older Windows 10 PCs, with an expanded role.

The PC Health Check app for Windows 10 will be available automatically via Windows Update, but you can also manually download it from the Windows Update Catalog using the tag KB5005463. However, the site was not displaying the KB reference at the time of writing.  

Microsoft notes that by default, when the PC Health Check application is opened, it “will automatically install important application updates when they become available.”
