I was in the same quandary, upgrade the hardware for Win11.
Instead, i bought a new PC, it cost the same as an upgrade path and it comes with Win 11 Pro installed.
Its. Minisforum Venus 790 Pro an cost £535 from amazon. My existing full size NZXT case pc is sitting redundant..
My old PC had an 800W ower supply, the mini pc has a 60w supply and the pc fits in my hand.
I done a lot of research and minisforum seems to be the better build. But Ryzen 9, 32gb ddr5 Ram and. 1Tb m2. Drive.
The minipc plays my games, and for video editing, it so much quicker than my old Pc.
I had consiered the Mac MiniM4, for the same price, but its specs and performance is half of the ryzen 9. Plus software is very limited.
The mini pc…..ts a steal.
