# Windows 11 Compatibility

**Windows 11 Compatibility** refers to whether a computer's hardware meets the specific requirements mandated by Microsoft for the installation and operation of Windows 11.

## Verification Pathways
There are three recognized ways to determine compatibility within the university environment:

1. **Manufacturer Documentation**: Consulting official support lists from vendors like Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Fujitsu.
2. **Self-Service Software**: Using the [[pc-health-check-app]] on existing Windows 10 installations.
3. **Institutional Support**: For devices managed under the [[device-management-system]], the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] can verify compatibility via the [[groupware]] ticket system. This internal check requires the user to provide the device's inventory number, computer name, and MAC address.
