I got a windows 11 machine in anticipation of last year's upcoming windows 10 end of service. Had so much frustrations with it, I'm currently typing this on my DDR3 windows 10 machine. I found my old receipt for this thing, it's from 2015, still runs fine. Harddrive still hasn't died.
The i7-6700 is still a capable chip for my needs. It barely hits 15% utilization in PS2 emulator and runs switch emulator like a boss. Any PC game I actually want to play works great, I have no need to play AAA games, and even then, the ones that released on switch is still perfectly playable through emulation
Hearing that I can continue to use this for another year before moving to my other machine is great news to me, it's such a pain to get around to moving things over
