The frustrating experience of choosing IE over Chrome.
IE11 runs smoothly on modern setups. It’s a solid browser that handles web standards well, though it can be challenging for developers. Upgrading to Windows 10 will significantly improve performance. The system needs a decent graphics card—around a GeForce 6600 with enough memory—to function properly. A good CPU is essential: at least two cores, preferably a recent dual-core processor like the Athlon X2 or faster. Sufficient RAM is crucial; 4GB minimum, ideally 2GB more for higher resolutions. Avoid older hardware that lacks support for modern features.

Modern HD H.264 videos are hard to display on very old systems, whether it's Chrome, IE, or VLC. The best fix is using a more powerful computer than the outdated XP machines that barely work with Win7. Also, from IE9 onward, the browser performs much better—especially in professional settings where you often have limited internet access.
