I'm definitely going to update my component "to buy" list from the last time I was going to buy a new computer and then simply didn't (2020). This morning it booted up totally fine, no weird auto-reboots. And quicker than the previous drive - so I was imagining that one, at least. Hopefully it holds, but my hand will be forced anyway when Win10 stops getting updates next year since this computer's too old to upgrade to 11.

Yeah, it's possible to load 11 on older machines with some registry tweaks but it's not going to be recommended since it's an unsupported configuration and it may at any time stop getting updates, which is what will happen to 10. Putting some cash away every month for a while can help if you're planning an upgrade soon and the prices all seem out of reach ($100 a month, maybe?)

Yeah, I'll start budgeting for it. Money is indeed the reason why I've dallied so long in upgrading my computer but tbh I can afford it even if it's a little uncomfortable. Doable, though, and worth it. The good thing is this current system is so old even a budget modern build will be an enormous upgrade. I mean I'm running an i5-750 at the moment. 😬 Props to SH/SC cause the core components in my build were the recommended price/performance sweet spot here back in 2009 and they have lasted a long time and served me well.

Safe to say the 24" monitor I bought in 2013 that is throwing up a "No Signal" message despite switching cables (and also using a DisplayPort cable from my other screen that worked) means it has thoroughly poo poo the bed and has embraced the long sleep? Not too fussed honestly, I didn't even realise I'd had it 11 years. Pretty good run for it's money.
