Windows 11 Readiness Just Got Easier in Lifecycle Manager

Windows 11 is coming fast, so is your plan to handle it. We’re excited to launch Windows 11 Insight in Lifecycle Manager, a new feature that gives you a clear view of which devices are eligible for upgrade and which ones are headed for retirement.

Instant Compatibility Checks

The Windows 11 Insights add several new flags to your client overview dashboard — giving you clear, actionable data on upgrade readiness across your entire fleet.

Here are the insights you will see on your dashboard:

• Windows 11 Compatible: Shows all devices that appear ready for Windows 11 but haven’t yet been updated. We check for a compatible processor, 8GB+ RAM, 64GB+ storage, and a manufacture date of 2018 or later (our stand-in for TPM 2.0).

⚠️ We estimate about 80% confidence in this prediction — some manual verification may still be needed.

• Processor Not Compatible: This one’s critical. If a device has a processor that’s not on Microsoft’s compatibility list, it’s a hard stop — the device must be replaced.
  
  
• Storage Not Compatible: If a device doesn’t meet the 64GB storage minimum, it gets flagged here. Good news: this is fixable. Freeing up space or upgrading the drive can save the device.
  
  
• Memory Not Compatible: Devices with less than 8GB RAM will appear here. Again, no need to panic — RAM can be upgraded, so replacement isn’t always necessary.
  
  
• Age Not Compatible: Devices older than 2018 are flagged here, not because of age itself, but because they’re less likely to support TPM 2.0, which is required for Windows 11. Some exceptions exist, so you may want to manually confirm.
  

No more cross-referencing RMM exports or running scripts. Everything is now surfaced directly inside Lifecycle Manager.

New Filter in the Hardware Console

We’ve also added a new processor compatibility filter to the hardware console to make sorting devices even easier.

This works alongside a collection of new insights that automatically evaluate whether your clients’ devices are eligible for the Windows 11 update — no more toggling between RMM exports or manually checking system specs.

Whether you’re building a client report or getting a jump on QBR prep, these filters are designed to save time, reduce friction, and make you look like a hero.

Built with Community Feedback

This insight came straight from our community (thanks for the upvotes and real-world feedback 🙌). You asked, we built.

Don’t Wait for the Deadline

With Microsoft’s Windows 11 deadline approaching and hardware supply chains tightening, this feature helps you act now — not later.
