I have been following this thread with a wry smile. Before retirement I built, managed and looked after large amounts a lot of Windows PC’s starting with Win2, over the years. When I retired I bought myself an iMac and to be honest have never looked back. Yes iMac’s are expensive, yes they are difficult to upgrade or fiddle with, but they also work. My current iMac is 2011, and other than op sys upgrades, has not rebooted for over 12 months, has not crashed once and all the software I need is provided for free by Apple or Open Source. A machine built 10 years ago will run Windows faster and more reliably than any PC I have ever come across, including Win 11 as part of the Insider Program.
Yes I know iMacs aren’t for everyone in the same way as PC’s aren’t either. Mine is linked to two Synology NAS servers (heartily recommended) and links seamlessly to everything I have ever tried to connect it too. I am so glad my fighting with PC days are over.
I hope you all manage to get Win11 up and running, using the excellent support on the forum, but if not try an iMac, they really are worth the expense. Just a thought, ask yourself how much you have spent on PC hardware in the last ten years and will your latest pride and joy still be working in 10 years, running the latest software/operating system.
