The system requirements are like any system from the last 6 years. Are people really using computers this old? I hear a bunch of people commenting about businesses but at least at the companies I worked at we never had machines older than 4 years old. Seems kind of overblown.
Oh yea and bring on the down votes. I understand this is Lemmy and anything that challenges the hatred of Windows is met with extreme disagreement.
Given people still use legacy systems from the 80s and 90s: yes
the companies I worked at we never had machines older than 4 years old
Well good for you, that’s not the norm at all in my experience across multiple fields.
Oh yea and bring on the down votes.
Well when you assume that all the other people commenting their experience are lying about it for some reason it’s no surprise people aren’t gonna like what you said.
These downvotes are not hatred of Windows, it’s the weird statement of “Are people really using computers this old?”. Like yes, a lot of people don’t need a computer, don’t want a new computer, or don’t have the money for a new computer. 6 years ago isn’t to long even, I built my PC around when Ryzen released(2017), it still works great.
Yes I am using as my daily driver an old box with an i7-3770. Truthfully want to upgrade, however it just hasn’t missed a beat and does everything I need. Wouldn’t mind some USB c ports though…
I believe lots of small businesses are not that concern with security so just run with old boxes for a long long time
Dude…I was at a grain terminal last month and they’re still using Windows 3.1. Computers haven’t been “new” technology in so long rednecks keep old systems going.
My desktop computer is from 2011 and it plays eSports games like DotA 2 and StarCraft just fine. I replaced the GPU with an RX 580 a few years ago, and if I wanted more GPU power I could definitely replace it with something even faster.
A 4770K can run almost anything at 60 FPS, so for gaming it’s not a big issue, especially since that system has a 60 FPS monitor.

And that would be supported on Windows 11. We are talking about PCs without TPM chips which are from 2014.
