Well, pretty much done with the kid's budget build. Not bad for a first computer. How do people get Windows? Do they really pay for it? I really just want to put Ubuntu on it and be done. But she likes to play Roblox. It's been years since I've used Wine. I think I'll try that first. My next best plan is buying a super cheap, shitty computer on Facebook and taking the key off that.

I'd try Ubuntu and see if you can get her game to run. If not then Windows it is LOL

None of my Win10Pro PC's can run Win11 cause they're too old and missing a few things. Win10Pro license may be cheaper to buy if MS is offering a free upgrade (probably are) like they did from Win 8>Win10

If you mean that your PC does not pass the MS Health Check and you want to run Windows 11 on it then you can.
