Question Making an office computer

[faalin]

Most of our office computers are from 2012 running i5 2500, 16GB, and 500GB ssd. Looking to upgrade since i can not put windows 11 (legally) on these computers. Im thinking the computer bellow but not sure on the PSU, needing something cheap but still decent. There will be not gaming or graphically demanding, the GPU's that are in them now are some AMD card wtih a single video out that has a dongle to split to two monitors.

I looked at Dell, and for the same price i can get a 14500 vPro, 8GB, 256GB. To get a second video output you have to upgrade to 16GB of ram bringing the price up to $900 which is just stupid for the specs.

Have you considered any of the many mini-PCs like Beelink? Those can all drive multiple displays and run nearly silently.

I am surprised by the Dell price for what you described. How many systems are you looking for? How are your current systems maintained?

Is this a single system or multiples?

If multiples, the advantage of Dell or HP support vs build it yourself can't be overlooked.

I wouldn't bother with the updated CPU cooler for an office build. The included stealth will do just fine for the use case.

Re: "There will be not gaming or graphically demanding"....

I am going back a step - what will those office computers be doing?

Exactly what is prohibiting Windows 11 ?

Edition? Version?

Or otherwise constraining the requirements?
