Question Simple windows 11 cpu/motherboard upgrade

[beezer73]

My current Ryzen 5 2400G doesn't support windows11 so I need a CHEAP upgrade that will.
Nothing fancy, just a home office computer.
Must have integrated graphics.
Currently have 16gb DDR4-3200, so I would like to use that. Will consider purchasing DDR5 if there's a good combo deal or something.

Thanks

Ok guys, back again.
So the computer is just sloooooow. Annoyingly slow.
Much slower than it was with Windows 10, and I installed a slightly faster cpu.
So what is it? Is 16GB of memory not good enough for Windows 11?
This is just a home PC that I use for work, shopping, email, etc.
So with nothing open on my desktop my memory use is nearly 30%.
Most of it appears to be BitDefender use.
Any ideas?

Overheating?
Check cpu temperatures.

No never goes over 34C.

After installing the new CPU, did you reset the BIOS?

No. Why would I do that?

To ensure no previous settings are negatively impacting your current configuration.

I'm assuming you mean default settings?

Yes. Reset to default.

Reset default settings in bios might not do the trick. I would do a full CMOS reset to guarantee you are starting from out of the box settings.

So I defaulted the bios, checked all the settings were correct. Changed memory from 2666 to 3200, not sure if it was like that before or if the bios reset did that.

It's definitely faster now. No complaints.
