I recently worked on a low - spec laptop which was supplied with Windows 8 and, due to the low spec, was almost unusable.  I did a general clean up and Windows update but the laptop was still a pain to use.  Then came the point where I had to upgrade to Windows 8.1.  After which is was very much better.  It will never be a gaming machine but with Windows 8.1 it was usable something it was not with Windows 8.

 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
