Comment on Upgrading cheap/old computer

I bought such an old computer. 6th gen i3 Intel CPU, upgraded the memory to 16G and added more storage. For me, it works well.
However, I recommend checking the power usage of the system. Some older PCs might be very piwer hungry, which makes them expensive in the long run.

You can always do a clean install from a USB and create 2 new registries and it will bypass the hardware check. I have installed windows 11 on various 6th gen machines and they run great.

Absolutely true from a technical perapective. But if you’re shopping for used devices, the price difference can be quite relevant. I’ve seen 7th gen PCs at ~100€, while 8th gen PCs are sold for littpe under 200€.
