Yeah, I've got a desktop in the same condition. Works great still, probably has 3 or 4 years of life left depending on various factors. The motherboard and CPU are fine for a lot of day-to-day life but don't meet Windows 11 requirements. Motherboard and CPU replacement is my personal "ship of Theseus" line for "no longer the same computer" and a surgery I personally don't want to do. I'm thinking I'll probably repave it with Bazzite or something like it. But so far I keep procrastinating that as it stopped being my daily workhorse. It's funny that when I bought that desktop Microsoft was still in the "Windows 10 will last the lifetime of your device" marketing pitch. Such a fascinating broken promise that they could have kept in multiple ways. It sounds like they may let the market talk them into the awful Windows XP life support version of it where they may be offering extended security support for years to come.
