Well, I dunno. I guess it's been a week now since I installed Windows 11. I bought a new computer last year because my 10-yr-old Windows
7 - 8.1 - 10 computer was finally slowing down and not handling this new Zoom program very well. The computer I got in March 2020 was what was available - better computers would take months to obtain. It was very sluggish, and even 32 GB of RAM didn't fix it. But it's running quite smoothly with Windows 11, so I'll postpone buying a post-COVID computer for now.
But I can't expand this computer much more, so I imagine I'll have it only a couple years more.
I sure think it's best to buy a computer you can expand. I loved that Lenovo I bought ten years ago, and I could improve it quite cheaply - but it had reached its time.
I'll be interested to see how long my stepson's computer will last. Ten years ago when he was a computer science major, I took him to Fry's (now gone) and bought him what he needed to build his own computer, on which he runs Linux. This was about the same time I bought my beloved Lenovo at a considerably lower price. He's still going strong with that computer. But now he has a job in Texas that pays a steady income. We'll see how long he keeps this computer. I'm sure that soon all he'll have left will be the original box. But I sure will be proud of him if he keeps that box.
