220-1202 Practice Question: Migrating from Windows 10 to Windows 11 on…
A company is migrating from Windows 10 to Windows 11 on several workstations. You need to verify that each computer meets the minimum hardware requirements, including TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot capability, before deploying the upgrade. Which built-in tool should you run on each machine to generate a compatibility report?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse the PC Health Check app with the older Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant or rely on manual checks via msinfo32, but the exam specifically tests knowledge of the dedicated compatibility tool introduced for Windows 11.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Windows 11 PC Health Check app (downloaded from Microsoft).
The Windows 11 PC Health Check app is the official Microsoft tool designed specifically to verify compatibility with Windows 11, including TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot capability. It generates a detailed compatibility report, making it the correct built-in tool for this pre-upgrade validation task.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
System Information (msinfo32.exe) and manually check the System Summary for TPM and Secure Boot status.
Why it's wrong here
While msinfo32.exe can display the status of specific components like TPM and Secure Boot within its System Summary, it does not provide a comprehensive compatibility assessment for Windows 11. This utility lacks the capability to evaluate all critical requirements, such as CPU generation, minimum RAM, or storage type/size, nor does it offer a consolidated pass/fail report. Therefore, relying solely on msinfo32 would leave significant gaps in determining full upgrade readiness.
- ✓
Windows 11 PC Health Check app (downloaded from Microsoft).
Why this is correct
The Windows 11 PC Health Check app is the official and most accurate tool specifically designed by Microsoft to assess a system's compatibility with Windows 11. It performs a comprehensive scan of all hardware and software requirements, including CPU generation, RAM, storage, TPM 2.0, and Secure Boot status. The app then provides a clear, consolidated pass/fail report, detailing any specific components that do not meet the upgrade criteria.
- ✗
Deployment Imaging and Servicing Management (DISM) with the /Get-CurrentEdition option.
Why it's wrong here
DISM (Deployment Imaging and Servicing Management) is a command-line utility primarily used for preparing, modifying, and repairing Windows images, including managing features, packages, drivers, and international settings within an image. The /Get-CurrentEdition option specifically displays the edition of the Windows operating system currently running on the machine. This command provides no information whatsoever regarding the system's hardware compatibility for an upgrade to Windows 11.
- ✗
System Restore (rstrui.exe) to revert to a previous state if the upgrade fails.
Why it's wrong here
System Restore (rstrui.exe) is a recovery feature designed to revert system files, installed applications, and registry settings to a previous operational state using a restore point. Its purpose is to troubleshoot system instability or recover from problematic software installations or updates after an issue has occurred. It is not a diagnostic tool for pre-upgrade compatibility assessment and cannot determine if a system meets the hardware requirements for Windows 11.
