I’ve bought a W11 machine, but it is only an N100, and my old i7 running W10 is much snappier. I’ve been saving up Microsoft Rewards points, so I can exchange some of them for an extra year of free security updates on the i7 machine.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
