You´re right for the 12500, but I will use this PC for a long time, so the price of the 13500 is OK for me
Combability or simply because they don't like W11, yes. But not security. W11 is inherently more secure than W10. And before someone jumps in and says something, I am NOT saying W10 is insecure (at least not today I am not). I am just saying security is not a reason to stick with W10.
I meant W10 is more secure than EOL-OSses like 7, 8.1, and it´s easy to install on older machines, unlike W11.
You can see by the link in my sig that I have been a hardware guy long before most of you have been alive - so I am all for the latest and greatest technologies - mostly if practical, but nothing wrong if because it is simply desired. There have been many times I have upgrades just to qualm the "itch".
But you are not going for the latest and greatest. If you were, you would be talking about a "new" motherboard and "new" RAM too.
OK, can´t match your experience, I started to work with computers at end of the 80´s, PC-addicted since AMDs first Athlon. And yeah, I call myself a hardware guy. All ppl who know me will agree with me, no matter in my friends circle or in some german fora.
Don´t exactly understand the last sentence, I have to buy new components, atleast new CPU, Mainboard and RAM. Yeah, there are later released components on the market but I don´t buy already used components.
Please follow the timeline of the thread's replies. You made no mention whatsoever of W8.1 until
after I said W10 was good at managing resources. For the record, except for that horrible "metro" UI that Microsoft tried to jam down everyone's throat
, I always felt that W8 was a good OS.
With Classic Shell, deactivated corner functions (don´t know how exactly to name it in english) and start to Desktop it was fine for me on many machines for some years
OK, didn´t mentioned that in the first, but ...
actual I using a i3-3220 for videocutting and don´t have issues in videocutting, but Windows 10 is a bit heavy for it, W11 isn´t supported by this generation.
... if I mention a CPU from 2012 it could be a hint that I didn´t started on this Platform with an OS which was released in 2015
Except you thought I bought this old system used and with W10, but I give no hint for that.
And I never wrote that W10 is an ressource killer in general, I only meant it´s to ressource-hungry for the i3-3220
Maybe there were some misunderstanding on both sides, but maybe you should also simply trust me if I write that W10 is to heavy for a Budget Dual-Core from 2012. Maybe also because I have the CPU, you maybe not
I hope we can stay friendly in this topic.
A topic can also have different opinions, a forum lives from different opinions, but facts should stay facts
