Sounds like you are all set. You have decent computers that run Windows 11.

Well, only ONE Win 11 Pro machine so far. I'm keeping my eyes open for a refurb SFF desktop with lots of useful ports, and an 8th gen or later i5 or i7 processor and the MotherBoard to support it (those last needed to readily run Win 11 Pro). My guess is that it'll be another year or so* B4 prices drop on those. But, no rush, as Win 10 will be supported until Oct. 2025.

I've found a couple gamers who managed to get HP6300's like mine running incredibly well with "original" MB's and recent gen I-series GPU's, but, the hoops they jumped through, and cost, are waaayyyy beyond me...

*Or maybe another new i-series generation or a dip in the economy [very BAD reason!], etc...

Well, MAYBE that last would be worth it to knock back these disastrous libs for a while. :-(

24” monitor included. All this needs is a 256gb or 500gb NVME drive. I bought one Christmas 2021 and added an NVME drive
