Win 11 refused to install on my 2016 i7. I can't imagine a 2015 i3 would meet it, let alone the graphics card requirements. Windows 11 hardware specs above suggest the lowest processor in the i3 line that can run it is an 8th gen (circa 2018).

I agree, his best bet is to probably upgrade to an SSD and upgrade to the highest level of Windows he can for his price range, but I'm pretty sure that Windows 11 is out.

I'm actually quite happy w Win8.1 if I can keep it while replacing w a new SSD, I dunno what's going on haha. Just like w my smartphone, I don't need the latest OS.
