    I'm looking to buy a new computer, and most likely I'll get a refurbished one... I have an offer on one with a killer graphics card for around €1,000.

    My current PC is still great, but it's a bit outdated, and I can't update it to Windows 11.

    A friend who works as IT will give me MS licenses, and let's see if it lasts another 8 years, lol!

    • Yeah, my main pc isn't [easily] upgradeable to Win11 either. I held on to Win7 for years after it sunsetted too though. Still, the clock's ticking.Nairn
