Thanks again for the informative input, Cerberus & Berton...
Berton: with all that hardware on constant tap, it's a wonder your eyes still work at speed!:-)

Hi Berton...thanks for the considered reply. Your points are duly noted.
Given the rate of progress in chips/memory etc it was always difficult to get close to 'future-proofing' and, since Windows 12 by all accounts will soon be on us, then....here we go again!
Getting the highest spec...
Many thanks to all for taking time to reply. Much appreciated.
However, just found out the i7 processor is less than Gen8 so I guess my plan's a non-starter.
Do you think it would be cheaper to upgrade motherboard and chip or buy a new computer outright?
Regards
I need advice on upgrading a Win 7 Home Premium (64-bit/Intel i7/8Gb) desktop to Win 11.
The Win7 specs can handle the requirements of Win 11.
At the moment, Win 7 is on a 286 SSD on C: drive, with two other separate 500Gb hard drives in place.
Forgive my ignorance of Win 11 and upgrading...
