Unless your software requirements specifically tie you to the Microsoft stuff, or other similar needs for certain Windows-only software, now might be a great time to seriously consider going over to an Ubuntu (Linux) setup on that box. While it isn't Win11 compatible (due to chips), it's almost certainly capable of running Ubuntu or one of the other Linux operating systems. Various browsers and anti-virus also have Ubuntu or Linux versions. Instead of MS Office there is LibreOffice (and others), for general writing/spreadsheet/presentation apps.

Choices, choices ... eh?

I've got an older box, too. It's perfectly serviceable and runs great, so I'm seriously considering Ubuntu for it. Just haven't gotten 'round to it yet.

Thanks. That's where I'm shopping as well. ... (y)

However, I won't have to worry about a new laptop, if I'm able to purchase that year extended support. I'll be good for another 14 months.

Got really lucky. Found the info..

OS: MS Windows 10 Pro
Processor: Intel Core i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30 GHz, 2401 Mhz, 2 Cores, 4 logical Pr ... (whatever it is)
BIOS Version: Toshiba Version 8.10. 10/26/2017
RAM: 8.0 GB, and it has a SSD something or the other.

Btw, after reading a few reviews. I've been looking at the Zenbook, but it's slightly over the budget I set for a new laptop. But again, if I'm able to purchase the year extention of MS support for Windows 10. I'll be good to go.

not a bad rig but the new stuff is way faster just get at least 16 gb of ram if you find something you like you can ask me my option on it if you like
 
if you can deal with tablets the iPad a16 version is real nice but wait for when its 299 bucks and make sure you get the a16 version
 
if it was me and I didn't wanna spend any money id just install linux on it its not to hard
 
there are linux versions you just burn to flash drive then boot from flash drive or dvd rom

Thanks for the tip, but since my knowledge on computer stuff is confined to the basics. For example; my brain starts smoking when doing mundane stuff like connecting my Lazer Printer. Now days, they don't give you a CD to help connect the dang thing, So, when I purchase a new laptop (if I can't get the extension). I have to go to their website, then find the correct driver, download, and install.

Sounds easy, but for me, it's like I'm going to the SCOTUS to fight a case. ... :au:
