Sure, but then I upgraded my working out of the box Windows 8 machine to Windows 10 and it became unusable because it has a hard drive, not an SSD. Select between running an unsupported system and being able to use your computer without it stuttering every 2 seconds...
I do admit I don't really trust the windows upgrade process. Not for any specific reason, just vibes.
I haven't used an HDD in a long time, so idk the current state of affairs, but when win10 first came out, HDDs were fine. That's a bummer though, and win10 is more expensive both in the cost of the OS itself and in the hardware you need to buy for it. You can run Linux on a potato. But that's not really the kind of issue that this post is talking about, afaict.
Now, it's unusable with a HDD. LTSC is barely usable with a HDD. Win11 on a HDD, no way. Have tried it, it boots for like an eternity.
