Windows 11 users will soon benefit from a new feature that provides system recommendations tailored to their computer’s hardware. Microsoft aims to help users maximize performance and stability by offering personalized advice directly through the Settings app.

Windows 11 Giving Custom Advice Based on Hardware in Preview Channel

According to a recent report by PCWorld, the new feature is a part of upcoming release. At this moment, for Insiders, it appears in the Settings app, where it surfaces targeted tips and recommendations about performance, battery optimization, security, and more.

These suggestions are intelligently tailored for the user's particular hardware, such as processor type, installed RAM, storage speed, and graphics configuration, offering actionable insights that generic advice would not provide. It will roll out to all users in the coming weeks.

How to Access the Feature:

  • Open Settings.
  • Navigate to System > About.
  • Look for the new FAQ section providing personalized insights.

Examples of FAQs Displayed:

  • “Am I running the latest version of the Windows OS? What is the latest Windows version?”
  • “How does having 8-16 GB of RAM impact my PC’s performance? Can I run modern applications smoothly with this RAM capacity?”
  • “What is a GPU? I don’t have a dedicated GPU, how does its absence impact gaming and graphical performance?”
  • “Is my GPU sufficient for high-end gaming and video experience? How can having a dedicated GPU enhance my experience and productivity?”

When you expand any of these questions, Windows will analyze your PC’s current hardware and provide tailored answers. This includes whether your CPU, RAM, and GPU are sufficient for demanding tasks like gaming or video editing. While the advice is somewhat generic, it is customized based on your actual hardware specifications, making it potentially useful for average users.

This feature marks a step toward simplifying how users understand their system capabilities without requiring technical expertise.

Microsoft explained that this approach helps users tap into hardware features they might otherwise overlook. "We want every user to experience the full potential of their PC, regardless of technical experience," a company spokesperson stated in an interview. "By offering individualized advice, we aim to demystify system settings and empower users to make the most effective choices."

For now, the rollout appears to be gradual and primarily visible to Windows Insiders, with broader deployment expected in subsequent updates.

As Microsoft continues to refine Windows 11, personalized system advice marks an important step in making the operating system both user-friendly and capable of adapting to a rapidly evolving hardware landscape. Users can look forward to a more intuitive experience as the software learns and grows alongside their unique PCs.

The introduction of custom, hardware-based guidance in Windows 11 represents a meaningful attempt to bridge the gap between complex system settings and everyday usability, helping users leverage the full power of their machines.
