The two primary limitations people with Win10 will run into are CPU and TPM.
Intel CPU I know is 8th gen or newer
TPM must be present and v2.0. Older 1.2 or no TPM not approved.
I've heard rumors of the TPM requirement might be waved and even some newer systems didn't come with TPM... but not gonna look it up, just say I think I read somewhere sometime....
With all that said.... I modified a Win11 installer and upgraded an OLD Intel i3 4th gen laptop from Win10 64bit to Win11. Zero issues, all laptop functions and overlays work.
It was laggy... but turned off a bunch of eye candy and laptop works just fine.
Not bad for a 12yr old laptop. (has 12GB RAM, 500GB SSD)
It does have integrated graphics, if you are not a gamer then it will be fine for everyday tasks.
The CPU Cooler is not included. Would be nice if it were but looks like a great CPU regardless.

I feel if you build PCs regularly you must have a cooler lying around and if it's your first time, spending 50-100$ on a really good, quiet Noctua or some all in one is a very wise long term investment.
