Update. Tried to order the items from Amazon, the basket price and checkout totals did not agree, spent 15 min on the phone speaking to someone I could hardly understand, then got cut off! Phoned again, same accent and same hard to understand, about 10 min later got the prices sorted after going...

Thank you Ghot for your detailed reply, I will print out the manual and take my time. I have some good lighting so now just need to order the parts. The CPU suggested by Amazon was LGA 1200 and the board is LGA1700 so not compatible, it pays to check!

Well , still planning on a WIndows 10 to 11 upgrade, and thank you for your previous help and posts. I have been in contact with ASUS Support who have been very helpful, many emails later I have the following on my Amazon list: These are within my budget and seem to fit my needs as I use the PC...

It was a nice idea, but I am putting this on hold. I have time to investigate before EOL with w10. I read so many problems with installing new MB's and me not being very much up on todays systems I may end up with a metal brick. I cannot afford to take the risk, there are 100's of MB's with...

Thank you for your suggestions, I did try Win XP in a virtual drive in Win 7 Pro, some of my older programs did not run under 7, I did find this rather complicated so dropped old programs and just stayed with 7. I did dual boot as I installed a boot switch box (Orico) so had 7 and 10 to choose...

Thank you WXC, no need to panic then (y):-).

The more I dig into this the less I am inclined to go Win11. As said my Win10 is a bit slow but works fine. The old saying "If it ain't busted, don't fix it' comes to mind. With any luck this PC will do what I need for some time to come. Thanks for your input guys, and best regards.

# of F & R USB ports mainly, As some ATX MB's cost more than 6x the price of others there must be substantial differences. I did realise that. I did not realise that, I thought my DDR3 RAM would be okay, obviously not . I did look through the tutorials to find out about Win11 and TPM, but...

Okay, I will link my license to my account, thanks for the link. Just checked, it states that my license is linked to my MS account. One less problem! :-) I am in no hurry to upgrade, I still need to find a similar MB to my present one and make sure all I have will connect to it. I am not a...

Thank you for your welcome and reply Bree. I have been on the Win 7 and 10 forums for some time, now ventured here. So a new processor and MB will be required. At least now I know what is wanted. I can forget about TPM assuming the new MB is okay with MS. Not sure how to check if the digital...

Contemplating Updating my Win 10 PRO PC to Win 11. My home built Windows PC was built around 2011. The MB is an ASUS P8P67Pro B3 Revision with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz 3.30 GHz processor. The Windows 11 upgrade test reports both Processor and MB have problems and so it seems...
