I'm getting on a bit so don't really understand the ins and outs of pin for pin replacement CPUs... Windows tells me that in order to run Win11 the above CPU needs to be replaced.... Am I being naive in thinking I can buy a replacement CPU and slot it in?
Would very much appreciate replacement...
Hi Martin.

With the demise of Win10 looming, I'm being nudged towards Win11. The upgrade healthcheck tells me that my processor (AMD Ryzen 5 2400G) is not up to the job. Is there a pin for pin plug in and go replacement that you could recommend or is my PC on a slow march to the junkyard. See attached file...
Scott, Many thanks for your speedy response. I note that there is a CPU change from AMD Ryzen 5 8600G to 7600. Is that significant in processor power?
I wish there was a place you could try these out to see how they perform.
Now putting on my thinking cap.
Scott, Many thanks for your comprehensive responses and for your very much appreciated help. If I were able to stretch to a GPU that could run Flight Sim, what would you recommend?
Thanks Scott. I've had a good look.
Three questions if I may.
1. I've been out of IT for many years so modern specs are a bit lost on me. Where did my spec go so badly wrong?
2. If I were to compromise on storage what would be your recommendation? I have a number of external HDDs if that...
Thanks sck451. I do have an existing 21.5" IIyama Prolite but was planning to go slightly bigger though I could make do. I have a budget of £1000 inc VAT. What were your thoughts?
It's a desktop configuration mainly for Office / documents / photos / music / video and some browsing. This will be my 3rd from PC Specialist in 10 years and tech has changed, along with my receding hairline. I would welcome any feedback before I press the pay button.
