Can I upgrade my old Microcenter built Powerspec at the store?
I have a Microcenter built Powerspec 450 that will not upgrade to Window 11 operating system. As this will soon be a mandatory upgrade, I am wondering the best path for upgrading. Can Microcenter upgrade the same unit or must I purchase a totally new unit and have the files copied over? I am just now looking into this and all advice will be welcomed.

That's a pretty old model, it's going to be a question of what's worth keeping. Maybe PSU and case, but it's not going to be much. Probably better to upgrade the system. Or we can find a motherboard/CPU/RAM bundle and start from there.
