Question N4020 vs N4120 vs AMD A4-9120e

[TheFlash1300]

Hello. I want to buy two new laptops for basic use (LibreOffice, web browsing, downloading, making archives, using Camtasia Studio, etc...). I got a list of different laptops, and all of them have one CPU, which is one of the following three:

1. Intel Celeron N4020
2. Intel Celeron N4120
3. AMD A4-9120e

I want to ask, which one of those 3 CPUs is the most powerful?
And the second question, which CPU is more powerful, N4020 or N4120

Can any of the CPUs be overlocked and/or made to exceed their base speed? For example, my current CPU is AMD A4-9120e. Its base speed is 1.50GHz, but in the Performance tab of Task Manager, i can see the speed can go even above 2.50GHz. Can the two Intel CPUs do the same, and increase their base speed?

Last question: Are the two Intel CPUs compatible with Windows 10 and 11?

Welcome to Microsoft. If you don't like it, move to Linux. LibreOffice will run faster on a compact linux distro any way.

Is it even legal to force software installation when you know the device you force to download and install the software isn't compatible with the software?

Linux doesn't have automatic updates, so i have to burn USBs and make new installs each time i want to update Linux. Also, my project isn't compatible with Linux, but only with Windows.

Throwing it in there: not supported is not the same as "it won't run." I can assure you that Doom is not supported on my Ryzen 5600X, but that doesn't mean it won't run on it.

About a hardware problem caused by the non-compatible software they force onto my device. If they release updates that arent compatible, but are still forced and users can't deny them and the updates cause a problem, it's Microsoft's guilt, not the user's guilt.

It won't break your system.

False.
You do not have to burn to a USB, it can happen all within the OS.

Also, my project isn't compatible with Linux, but only with Windows.

"Valve released versions of the GoldSrc engine for OS X and Linux in 2013, eventually porting all of their first-party games utilizing the engine to the platforms by the end of the year"

Yet your current system is running almost 7 years of Win 10 updates.
Oh no!!!!

Do you notice any difference from this time last year?
Or the year before?

No difference at all. If you know any difference, tell me what is different.

People, i have one more question:

Is Intel Celeron N4120 the most powerful CPU among the CPUs mentioned in my original post? Is N4120 better than both N4020 and AMD-A4 9120e?

Slightly more than the N4020.
I have not looked up the AMD. I'll leave that task to you.

You can look up exactly what has been included in each and every feature update, since Win 10 started in 2015.

"Limited Liability" is covered in the EULA when you install the software. Basically lawyers think of everything before you get your hands on it.
