Windows 11: How do I check if my PC is compatible?

WhyNotWin 11 tool does a better job than the official program made available by Microsoft

After releasing the trial version of Windows 11 for Insiders, the Microsoft It also made available the PC Health Checker tool, so that users could check if their machines are compatible with the new version of the operating system.

However, unfortunately the app generated more confusion than it helped, by pointing out a series of false positives due to the non-recognition of some technologies. For this reason, the PC Health Check has been temporarily removed so that improvements can be applied to it. Are there other options to it?
