Finally "upgrading" from Win7Pro on my wife's computer.

1 month ago 22

First thing, we're both mid-60's and fixed income. I'm trying to AVOID literally starting from scratch!

Her use: E-mail, Fakebook, Youtube and a couple of web-based farm games

Current system: (I have NOT gone in to verify the BIOS version, but I know it's several years old)

CPU: A8-9600 w/OG cooler

Memory: 2x DDR4-3200 16GB

Drive: 3.5" Seagete 512GB SATA + MDisc optical drive

Dual 1080p monitors being fed by the iGPU

Win7 Pro

Proposed upgrades:

R5-5500GT (about $126.00)

Drive: 1TB Silicon Power UD40 PCIe4.0x4 (about $54.00)

OS: Win11 Home DVD (about $120.00)

Does this look decent for a low end system for a couple of years at least?
