Windows 11 Upgrade Assistant: Guided Diagnostics & Fixes for Common Issues

Published on 10/18/2025 Marketing Opportunities

Many users, despite having compatible hardware, struggle with specific Windows 11 upgrade prerequisites like TPM, Secure Boot, MBR to GPT conversion, or misplaced system partitions. The frustration is evident, with users spending hours troubleshooting or even considering switching OS. A SaaS solution, delivered as a robust desktop application with subscription features, could simplify this complex process.

Product Form: A 'Windows 11 Upgrade Companion' application that performs deep compatibility scans beyond Microsoft's basic tool. It would not only identify why an upgrade fails (e.g., 'Your boot drive is MBR, convert to GPT') but also provide clear, step-by-step, interactive guides (potentially with screenshots for common BIOS/UEFI interfaces) on how to resolve these issues (e.g., enabling fTPM/Secure Boot, converting MBR to GPT safely with backup warnings, fixing system partition tags). Advanced features could include automated scripts for common fixes, integration with tools to create compliant installation media, and a knowledge base/chat support.

Expected Revenue: With millions of Windows users, a significant portion will face these challenges. A freemium model (basic scan free, guided fixes/advanced features on subscription) or a one-time purchase + optional subscription for continuous updates/support (e.g., $29-59 one-time, $5-15/month subscription) could capture a large market. Even a small penetration could yield $100,000 to $500,000+ ARR within 1-2 years.
