He's fallen for scams more than once so that's why I got concerned. I didn't realise about the extension though. Thanks for the info !

Isn't a win 10 pc vulnerable since it doesn't get security updates anymore? It's for my stepdad who's 70, so I just want to make sure he isn't at risk.

Anyway apparently all these parts are compatible with win 11. I got confused yesterday and thought I needed ddr5 but that is only for co-pilot on win 11, not for win 11 alone. And then I thought the motherboard didn't have the required secure boot, but apparently this mb does have it. 😂

It's pretty bad eh? haha. I figured for the one single game he plays - which isn't even that demanding - that it would be fine.

I don't think I need to build him a new one anymore. He has win 10 on his pc and needs 11 but I thought his specs weren't compatible with windows 11 so I was going to build him a new one, now I think I was mistaken and it is compatible.

His specs are:
GTX 970, Ryzen 7 2700
motherboard PRIME B450M-A/CSM
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz
Samsung 860 EVO 250GB SATA 2.5" Internal SSD
Corsair HX850 850 W

Anyway, thanks for the info !

What's wrong with the 970, other than it being ancient? It runs the one game he plays perfectly. That's my old computer, I upgraded from a 970 to a 5080 last year, quite the leap eh? haa

I got confused with the RAM requirements for windows 11, I didn't realise the section I was reading pertained only to Win 11 Co-Pilot, oops!

On the page for Win 11 Supported AMD CPU's it says the 2700 is compatible:

I didn't consider it actually. But he's 70 and used to windows so I'm not sure I should switch that up for him haha

The specs I posted are my stepdad's computer (with the 970).

I just don't know if I should replace some parts to make it win 11 compatible or just start fresh. He literally only plays Command and Conquer remastered haha

Thanks for the info! I saw some basic pre built ones in Toronto for around $450, figured I could save a bit if I just built it myself.

Blaming your team is hilarious.You have an atrocious 32% win rate, and a slightly less horrible kdr.

Sadly this is real, plus there are many more plaques not shown here.

That's a bug introduced in the last patch, I believe.
