# Windows 11 Hardware Readiness

**Global Filters:** Allows you to target a dashboard to a specific group of systems.

**Group:** All Systems

**Minimum System Requirements:** These are the minimum requirements for Windows 11, as specified by Microsoft.

## Readiness Summary

The **Readiness Summary** shows the number and the percentages of machines ready for Windows 11. Select **Show values as percentages** or **system counts**. This selection will provide an accurate view of the components that are ready for Windows 11. You can hover over the bar for a specific number or percentage.

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE**: Graphics Card must be compatible with DirectX12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver. This is a Microsoft requirement, but they do not assess it in their readiness script, and the dashboard does not report it.

This grid shows the readiness of systems by: System, SystemType, OS, OS Version, Overall Readiness, Processor Readiness by criteria including Processor, RAM, Storage, System Firmware, TPM, and Display. If one component is Not Ready, then the Overall Readiness will turn red and show **Not Ready**.
