Windows 11 isn’t compatible with older machines, and Windows 10 is being phased out soon. This might be a worry for those building low-cost systems or handling hardware changes like replacing the motherboard.
I'm happy to have disk and USB copies of Windows 10 in all versions.
budget refers to a computer that's been around for more than five years, meaning you won't be able to run Windows 10 or 11. You'll have to adapt. If the hardware is priced at a certain amount, there are still plenty of new or used options available. For example, a new 5600 chipset costing $120 plus a MOTO and other components makes it budget-friendly. Also, a CPU from 2000 to 3000 series is older but still powerful and affordable.
