    SSD is absolutely a life-altering upgrade for old machines. Tell me how win 11 runs perfectly fine on a Dell Optiplex 9010 from 2012 with 8 GB DDR3 and a SSD.

    It beats the pants off a HP EliteDesk 800 G4 running off a brand new HDD. The G4 was from 2018, actually passes the specification check, has 8 GB of DDR4. The only bottleneck is the SSD.

    Sitting in front of any of these machines or the latest DDR5 AI+whatever with the same amount of memory and doing office work all day, I might be able to tell the difference.

    In all fairness, I’m not putting Symantec or any enterprise management software on the Dell, so I can’t compare directly. I’d rather not try to do so because I don’t want to answer questions about WHY I joined personal equipment to the domain.
