My son knows quite a bit about computers. He was telling me I needed a newer computer to run it.

I wish that weren’t so. He knows much more about it than I do.

“He was telling me I needed a newer computer to run it.”

Not true. You need a new computer with preferred hardware to experience its full capabilities. But if you search the web, you will find that although your machine is designated as not capable of running Win 11, it can, but not too the full capabilities provided in Win 11.

Doesn’t the Windows install process tell you if your hardware won’t run the software to be installed?

One of the problems with Win10 and Win11 is the background processes consume a lot of RAM [working memory].

I loaded Win11 on a brand-new box back in August, and I just got done thumping a single process that always threatened to go wild in the streets when I wasn't looking.

Took me 3 months to figure IF I could get rid of it, and then HOW to get rid of it.
