Find a good replacement currently running Windows 10 with capability to "upgrade" to Windows 11. Don't upgrade to Windows 11 if you can hold off doing so. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of Windows 11. Mrs Best has it on her work computer and it gives her issues all the time.

What I'm hoping is Windows 12 (slated for release in early 2025) will be a signficant improvement over Windows 11 so when Win10 hits end of support, I'll migrate all my machines to 12 (or finally pull the trigger and go 100% Linux).
