The Aoostar has 12gb DDR5, and a fully functional USB-C port and have yet to have a dock that it doesn't work fully on (power, video, data- single cable into this machine is fantastic). The BIOS is quite robust as well, letting me up the wattage to 25w if I wish (mine's at 20w, stays below 80c). Connected it to my guest network and let it check in to MS to activate, then wiped it and reinstalled Win11 Pro using Tiny11 and activated with no issue.
As others have mentioned you should reinstall windows or install linux to prevent any issues. If you install linux you will need a kernel of at LEAST 6.2 to get the hardware encoding/decoding for the cpu. Debian bookworm is still on 6.1 so I installed the 6.12 kernel on my Dietpi Mini PC (dietpi for x86 is based on debian bookworm but has a lighter footprint and an additional package management system that removes all unneeded dependencies when you uninstall a package so you can KEEP it a light footprint.)
