If you really wanted to keep using your system you can force Windows 11 on it. You just need to make a windows 11 install USB. The whole thing can be created within the Rufus program. I did it last week with on an old system to convert it to a server/file host. The CPU is a Celeron G1830, I think it's 11-13 years old.
Anyway, a YouTube vid can help navigate using Rufus to do interested.

If you don't need expandability and are ok with possibly lower reliability, you can get new mini PCs with similar or better processors at this price point e.g 5800u or 6600u

Amazing how well this computer had held its value. It was the same price over a year ago.

I got a minisforum mini pc and it stopped working at about the two year mark. Searching on Reddit shows that UM560XT has mosfet issues. Tried emailing Minisforum for help but got no response.
I like the value that the minis offer, but for this upgrade cycle I guess I'll stick with old school desktops. Some great values can be had there as well if you're willing to shop around.

The value is tempting though. E.g. https://slickdeals.net/f/18614638-prime-acemagician-kron-k1-mini-pc-ryzen-7-5825u-16gb-ddr4-512gb-ssd-239-94
That's more cpu cores, GPU cores, and RAM for it's money.
Alternately, cheap laptops with i3-1315u or similar will perform similarly the 5600g in CPU and GPU too.
Prodesk g6 refurbs are also over $200 and have 8th gen core cpus. Those are slower than the 5600g.
I've heard quite a few stories about issues with mini desktops, which makes me hesitant to try one. On the other hand, my SFF and standard desktops from Dell and Acer run for many years with no issues. Office grade HPs seem to be just as well built, so I recently bought a refurb HP SFF ProDesk 400 G6 to give it a whirl. So far it's rock solid.

I've been hesitant to go with a mini PC for the same reason. There are lots of reports of them falling and videos on repairing the power circuitry.

Agreed on all points, except I picked up that ProDesk with i3-9100/8GB DDR4/256GB NVMe/HDMI Out Factory Upgrade/Fresh WIN11 Load for $72 shipped on eBay. Felt like I stole it for that price. Threw another 8GB of RAM into it just for good measure. Will post a link if you wanna see it.

Sorry, I meant prices for certified refurb hp mini g6 units which should be similar condition to this deal.

Just FYI, you can run Win 11 on anything. There are versions you can download that bypass the hardware check. I'm running it on a win 7 machine.
