It’s 7 years old. Imagine what your experience was with a 7 year old windows machine. What’s in Big Sur AND windows 10 that is not for the current macOS?

- maccard 6y agoThe cutting edge has moved on in 7 years, but a Dell XPS 13 from 2013 [0] has an i5 (ivybridge), 8GB ram, a 256gb SSD and a 1080p IPS screen. I'd be more than happy to use that as a primary bon-developer machine, and I bet it runs great on windows 10.

- jefft255 6y agoCopying my reply to someone else as I think is applies here too: That's a legit argument against Android, but the exact opposite holds for Windows. You can run Windows 10 on 10 years old hardware, 15 if you push it and I'm not exaggerating. I'm typing this on my 10 years old desktop PC running Windows 10 as we speak, and it's very smooth. I'd have been very pissed off if three years ago Microsoft decided to not support my PC because "7 years is long enough". Yes I hate forced reboots, but that's beside the point here. As another commenter pointed out, 7 years old mid to high-end hardware will typically give you a fine experience on Windows 10, as long as you have an SSD.
- valuearb 6y agoYea, but it’s Windows.
