My computer knowledgable friend suggested if I can spend a little more to get one with Windows 11. Something about 11 requires a security chip. So Windows 10 machines won’t be upgradable to 11 and not supported after a few years? Anyone hear of this? And does it matter? No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

That looks like a nice computer, Tim. I don't know how Chrome OSD differs from Windows but I think I want Windows. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

I got a pretty good deal from Newegg some years back on a refurbished Dell Inspiron laptop. I wiped it clean and loaded Windows 10 on it...still runs pretty good for my laptop uses, which isn't much or often. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.

Well like most things I do I spent a little more than I hoped but it's done. I ordered a Dell. https://deals.dell.com/en-us/productdetail/f9z7 My IT friend suggested Dell, Windows 11 Pro, Intel I5 or I7, PCI SSD, 512GB. This one was on sale for just $200 more than it was going to cost to replace the display on my MacBook Air. (I'm using my old MacBook now.) The new plan is to use the Dell as my main computer, internet, videos, etc. (I don't have a TV), and relegate my old Mac for banking and finance. Anyway thanks for the advice.

that's super nice. Only thing I have to add is be sure you have an SSD backup plan. As good as the SSD's are now days, they still go bad now and again. I've had 2 of the little NMVe type go bad in the last 6 years (both in HP computers if that matters). . | |||

OK thanks radioman. Probably the most important things stored on my computer are photos. I've been meaning to moving them yearly to thumb drives an SSD. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

You could do this for free. Download the W10 ISO from Microsoft and install it on a boot camp partition on your Mac. You don’t *have* to register it for it to work just fine. You’ll just have a watermark on the Windows desktop. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

The program I'm interested in has experienced 30% failure with Mac users, including those who ran Windows on their Mac, so they strongly suggest to do this on just a Windows machine. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||
