As it's not Win11 compatible..(and yes you can bypass that, but it's not worth it for older machines where the CPU isn't really up to the job and Win11 craaaawls).Installing ChromeOS Flex or one of the many Linux distributions could give it a new lease of life for no cost other than your time installing them.Or just keep using it with End-of-Life, no longer supported, Win10 - you will be one of millions (billions) who do that.0
