2.4.0
29385b2

2.4.0 comes with the following changes:

  • Cleaned up Code
  • Updated Language Files
  • Fixed Command Line Switches (see below and WhyNotWin11.exe /?)
  • Added New Supported Intel Processors
  • Re-Added Cross for Failed Checks for Accessibility
  • Removed "Unsure" Result for CPUs now that Microsoft testing is complete
  • Added Note that WIndows 11 can be installed, but not updated to, if you completely delete your existing Windows 10 data

(Various other minor changes to be documented in 6-8 hours)

Note from the Programmer:

Microsoft's Business team has confirmed that Windows 11 can be installed on old hardware! The only thing you have to do is COMPLETELY WIPE your old Windows 10 install and install a clean version of Windows 11. Additionally, it appears Microsoft will be releasing a reasonably clear version of the PC Health Check tool "soon", and I expect popularity of this project to die off. If you need a feature that the new check tool doesn't have, please create an issue so I can try to fill any remaining niches!

Thank you for using WhyNotWin11
