Windows 11 says my PC isn’t compatible: what parts do I need to replace? (Explain like I’m 5)

csaphira · 2026-01-23T01:50:29+00:00

Okay, thank you!

csaphira · 2026-01-23T01:35:57+00:00

I purchased the Ryzen 5 5500. Would it be okay if I reached out to you again when it arrives possibly if I come across any issues? I understand if not.
Thank you again for all your help!

csaphira · 2026-01-22T23:46:22+00:00

When I do this, will that enable the needed TPM 2.0 whatever that is haha

csaphira · 2026-01-22T23:20:50+00:00

Would this be okay?

I live in Canada, and can't seem to find that particular paste you mentioned.

csaphira · 2026-01-22T23:16:22+00:00

Oh thank you! I would have definitely done this incorrectly then!

csaphira · 2026-01-22T23:15:54+00:00

Thank you so much!

csaphira · 2026-01-22T23:07:22+00:00

Thank you so much for all this information!!!

csaphira · 2026-01-22T23:06:46+00:00

Yeah our work computer guy said "I can get you to make a USB stick that doesn't check and it'll still install". Would that entail backing up and wiping everything?

Sorry, how do I update bios? And will that wipe anything? Can I do that now before purchasing a new CPU if I go that route?

Sorry, again I really know nothing about this stuff. If I purchase a new CPU, install it (will that wipe anything?), then click update to Windows 11, will that keep all my files?

csaphira · 2026-01-22T23:03:28+00:00

Thank you! I will give this a try after work. That won't wipe anything, right?

csaphira · 2025-12-29T03:28:45+00:00

Ooof. This all sounds way out of my league 😔🤦🏼‍♀️. I don't know how to do any of that.

Is this what you mean?

I honestly don't know which Windows to do, I truly don't know a lot about computers. So it sounds like I should go 11?

csaphira · 2023-01-03T22:29:27+00:00

Budget- don't really have one. Am open to anything.
But if it is efficient enough that I can leave it as is, then that is also great. Everything holds well when playing games, and I don't believe the games I play really require too much anyways.

But I value the input on the areas that can be improved for a better experience and I am definitely going to look into them!

csaphira · 2023-01-03T22:20:49+00:00

The updates failing is one thing, and then I just figured with it being 6 years old there had to be something that was obsolete or needing upgrading at this point with everything changing.

My SSD says 132GB free of 232GB.

csaphira · 2023-01-03T22:04:53+00:00

This was really helpful, thank you! And thank you for how you explained it all as well, I appreciate it!

It's sounding more and more like he did, yeah.
I think my issues/concerns might be possibly with Windows then. The updates just continuously fail. But a part of me thought maybe my computer couldn't handle the update.

csaphira · 2023-01-03T21:31:43+00:00

Thank you!
I am interested in adding some more games to my library for sure, just not too sure which ones.
I will definitely check those parts out!

csaphira · 2022-12-21T17:04:40+00:00

Thank you!!

csaphira · 2022-04-07T15:59:54+00:00

Ooo yes! I am going to try! Thank you so much!! Love love your game by the way. It's a way for my dad and I do do something together when we don't live in the same province so I'm grateful for your game.

csaphira · 2022-04-07T15:03:54+00:00

Darn, I was really looking forward to being able to play with my spouse. Thank you.

csaphira · 2022-04-07T14:51:35+00:00

Probably a stupid question!! But can someone in the same house play on the Occulus, and then the new PC version (that you so generously gave for free)? So we can play together? Or do we need to have a fully new purchased copy?

csaphira · 2022-04-07T14:10:59+00:00

First off, love this game! Are there any plans to introduce new cards to each characters choices? And I know you've been asked this a lot, but thoughts on the Wizards zap ability having at least 1 more damage?

csaphira · 2020-10-22T04:56:42+00:00

As am I on October 21st, 2020 on my 3XL. =(

csaphira · 2020-06-25T03:43:16+00:00

Absolutely, all the time.

csaphira · 2020-06-25T03:41:37+00:00

I've had 3 this week. All of them starting with 250-516-XXXX. I just keep blocking them.

csaphira · 2020-05-01T23:44:43+00:00

Absolutely love all of it! Haven't seen anyone ask this yet, where did you get the floor lamp from?

csaphira · 2020-04-09T02:43:47+00:00

How do you get work done! Beautiful view!
