Yeah, I know. At some point they will probably be the ones compliant for running Windows XX, but who knows when that'll be.

Hopefully not in the near future. My wife said that I spent my new computer allowance when I bought my Mini-PCs.

I'm running Windows 11 at home on my Beelink SEI8 with the Intel 8279u. The SEI12 is the equivalent available model today. It's a great little mini-pc. 12th gen intel CPU, 16GB of RAM, 512GB NVME with ability to add additional 2.5" SATA SSD, and it comes with Windows 11 Pro, for $329 USD. This little box has been fabulous. Meets all of my general purpose needs, and runs my audio interface for my guitar.

My primary Windows desktop that i use for gaming is 100% Windows 11 compliant, but still running Windows 10. I have Windows 11 setup booting on the box via a VHDX file so I know that the hardware works as expected. It's working great, as stable as can be, so I have no desire at present to upgrade it from 10 to 11.. It's a handbuilt with Asus Rog Strix X570-E Gaming mobo, AMD Ryzen 5900x, 64GB of RAM, EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 ultra.

Link to the later models of the Beelink that I discussed above.

@pparks1 I was looking at a youtube vid awhile ago of a guy upgrading an SER5 mini to an SSD. It looks like basic upgrades are fairly easy as long as a person is careful. Interesting...... thanks.
