My guess is they are going to require the ransom be delivered to various food banks - gotta work that PR angel.

That was my original point: it is running Windows 11 right now. A bit slow, but it runs.

I can’t see investing upgrades into HW that old (I know I could, just doesn’t seem like the best use of money in the long run).
Also, my partner’s SW is only available for Windows and I don’t feel like teaching them enough Linux to run Wine under it.

Finally got around to looking up the info on it.
It’s a Dell Latitude D630 (model PP18L according to the label). CPU is: Intel Core 2 T7250, 2.00GHz, 800MHz, 2M L2 Cache, Dual Core Built: 27 MAR 2008 (actually newer than I thought) Last OS to have support from Dell was: Windows Vista 32/64 bit RAM is: 2.0GB, DDR2-667 SDRAM
Per this page it doesn’t meet the specs: Windows 11 requirements But that page also states: > you may not be able to install Windows 11 so it’s more a soft spec than an actual hard minimum.
I have systems from before 2000 that I’m sure would run x86 Linux (especially DSL Linux: [DamnSmallLinux.Org](www.damnsmalllinux.org and such). Can’t wait to browse using Lynx again :-)

Humm, I installed Windows 11 on a really old Dell laptop (clean install). I’m sure it was not HW supported but it installed fine. I may have had to click something like, " Yeah I know it doesn’t meet the specs"; but otherwise fine.
No, I don’t like Windows but it’s what my partner needed at the time.
