this is about what it'd cost to build yourself using a grey market windows key so it's probably a good deal as long as the thermals are fine

and read the comments there a lot of helpful info there too !
If you do a search on youtube on how to upgrade it , it shows how to add a second sata drive and an additional ram stick.. but if you check out the review for it on youtube there's some talk about how the PC case is basically just awful and the heat inside will kill the parts very quickly (I really do NOT like the fact there are no fans in front of the PC ... you're much better off with fans in front and behind to effectively pull hot air "through" the PC.. heat is a big killer of PC's)
If you do build your own PC (which you really should ) like the one person suggested look this article up
https://www.pcworld.com/article/3...-free.html
and note that if you buy say windows 10 home from PC world's own storefront - which I'm almost positive is an official licensed seller of MS licenses (that is the license is guaranteed to work - don't get me wrong there's a good chance it will work from some ebay seller too much cheaper you just don't know 100 percent for sure ) ... you can snag it for $50 then just upgrade it to win 11.
Whatever you do if you build your own PC make sure the motherboard supports TPM even if you're doing it "artificially" via the CPU processor in BIOS as opposed to an actual TPM module and make sure the CPU shows up on the Win 11 list of supported CPU's .. granted you have until October 2025 but when MS stops releasing security updates for Windows 10 at that date it will REALLY suck if your PC can't be upgraded to Win 11 due to the Win 11 hardware requirements.
