I have a PowerSpec G700 that works very well. However, if I want to update to Windows 11 it is not 'supported' as it is a first gen Ryzen CPU (1700). All other specs meet the upgrade requirements. As the system is currently, no basic issues running Davinci Resolve or streaming software, just the Microsoft requirement.
What would be a suggested pathway to an upgraded CPU without breaking the bank?
Thanks.
G700 Specs:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 processor
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
System Board: ASUS PRIME B350-PLUS System Board
Memory: 16GB composed of 2- 8192MB DDR4/2133 DIMMS
HD: 480GB SATA Solid State Drive
Video: NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 1070 PCI Express
LAN: Wireless B/G/N/AC
LAN: Realtek Integrated Gigabit Ethernet RTL8111
Greetings @DRDEH
The only real issue here is the Zen CPU. Here's your CPU compatibility list: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/PRIME/PRIME-B350-PLUS/HelpDesk_CPU/
I'd update your BIOS to the latest, 5606 from here: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/PRIME/PRIME-B350-PLUS/HelpDesk_BIOS/
Upgrade your CPU to a Zen+ or Zen 2. I'd go for a Ryzen 7 3700X. Whatever you can find at a good price right now. From there after it boots, load your defaults in the BIOS. You should be good to go. I'd probably consider upgrading the RAM as well if it's in your budget. Try to find a 2x16GB DDR4-3600 C16 kit. With a Zen 2 CPU you're not going to have the issues pushing past 2933 that you did with Zen and you'll see a real performance gain with the higher frequency RAM on this platform.
Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
