Make the PC that was abandoned by Windows 11 converted into a Chromebook and be happy: Nobuyoshi Koji's IT Operation (page 1/4)

　Microsoft announced the next OS "Windows 11" on June 24 (local time).The release of Windows 11 Insider Preview has also begun, and there are many PC writers around me, so it is already installed.

　I am currently writing on a Mac, and the Windows environment is surprisingly poor.In recent years in the cloud era, there is not much difference between Windows because it is a Mac, but occasionally there are some review products that have only Windows versions, or that HDDs that cannot be read on Mac contain video materials.be.

　For such a case, in September 2020, I purchased Donki's discount note, "MUGA Stoic PC3".CPU is Celeron N3350 (Apollo Lake), 4GB of memory, 64GB of storage, and 19,800 yen.

　No, right after the purchase, it was moving normally.However, as the number of Windows Update and resident apps increased, swaps frequently occurred due to the small amount of memory, and in addition, the performance dropped due to low speeds.

　Well, I used it once every three months, so I left it alone, but I tried an app that can be updated because Windows 11 comes out.I knew it was impossible because it was a low -spec machine, but it was a story for the time being.

　Since the reason why it does not work in the genuine judgment application is unknown, when I tested it with "WHYNOTWIN11" published on GitHub, "UEFI" and "TPM", which are caught by many people, are surprisingly clear.

　Although the ability of the CPU is unknown, the storage capacity that was completely caught was like "Eh, there?"The operation conditions of Windows 11 are supposed to have a storage of 64GB or more, but as you know, the storage capacity differs depending on the catalog value and the effective value.That would be out.

　Even in the current Windows 10 environment, it was about 40GB immediately after the purchase, but if you put an update or an additional application, there is no remaining 10GB, and if a large update comes, it will be out.This will be the same on Windows 11.

　If Windows 11 is officially released at the end of the year, there will be many interesting PCs, so if you need it, you should buy a new PC at that time.The problem is whether the update is piled up like a stratum, and it is meaningless to keep the weak Windows 10 machine that is not dead but hard to say that it is alive.

　At that time, I found interesting news.

　I see.It is to put a Chrome OS in an old machine and reuse it.The Chrome OS is light, and my weak PC is an ant in that direction.So I tried it.
