Will Win11 even run on an 11-year-old i7 with 4GB of RAM?
The 11-year-old I7, no problem at all. They haven't changed much in those 11 years. The 4GB of RAM on the other hand won't even run 7 very effectively. You will need to bump that up to at least 16 in order to get any more useful life out of that machine outside of Linux. I have an 8-year-old I5 here with 16GB of RAM, and I very rarely see any sluggishness from Firefox and Brave, and Thunderbird doesn't even choke on large folders as it once did. The main difference is that I bumped up the 8GB that was in this machine originally to 16GB, and I changed out the magnetic spinner for a solid state drive. I still wouldn't recommend running a bloated OS on this machine, but I can't say that I tried it to see what would happen either.
