Good shape, low mileage.

Well, it's been driven approximately 186,000 miles for every second it moved in time. I wouldn't call that low mileage...

Some the foundational algorithm v2 is live!!
Bezier Intersection
Unlike v1 that calculated intersection (approximate) points, this one calculate (more accurate) intersection intervals! 
Now to build all the shape work on top.. hopefully it will work this time!
there is still the issue that line-line - or line-segment might return too small interval some times, might be a problem.... we shall see... it's fixable anyway

Beast of a machine, a year old. Not like my regular dev-PC, this thing features more memory on its graphics card than my laptop had working memory. Built by a gamer, this thing has 7 active coolers.
..and it is too old to do Windows 11
Yeah, maybe I'm too

Newer version of VMware supports vTPM chip (requires encrypting disk at the moment, subject to future change). Using that, I installed W11 in a VM on 6 year old hardware. Took a gander and deleted it. Didn't have any problems or find anything to dislike, just not interested at the moment. Worth the effort if needed. You should be able to do a p2v conversion of your current W10 system and upgrade (not tested by me). I am guessing the VMware community edition would do the same.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Yup. Got several of them too.

Same here
I run my VMs with so many virtual memory as my old pc had physically.

Not necessarily too old. Your motherboard needs to have a TPM and to enable (assuming it's supported) secure boot in the BIOS. Also, older CPUs are reportedly not supported but my CPU is ancient and I had no problems. I'm running it in a VM though, so maybe that's a factor.

That is almost what happened to me upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 10.
The compatibility app said "Supported", Windows installer said "Let's go" and then... crashed mid install (after some 2h of doing something) with a "processor missing..." (do not remember exactly what the name was but was related to virtualization).
The compatibility app said the CPU has that feature, the datasheet of the CPU confirmed it and Ubuntu said that it is definitely there and was being used by QEMU.
I ended up ditching Windows for good and stick to linux. Some things take more labor to do and I miss some programs but Microsoft gave me no choice. The computer was a very expensive top of the line computer with just three years at the time.
Last year I tried again to install out of curiosity but, same thing.

I would say Windows 11 is not ready yet. Wait some time before trying to install it. or install it on an unused computer.

Please read about Windows 11 and installing it on not-ready devices.
First of all, the limitations are set only inside setup files. Also, the Checking application provided by Microsoft offers the same s**t.
What are the good news? There are a couple of videos/tutorials on Youtube which explain how to modify a Windows 10 installation iso to be able to install W11, and to bypass TPM v2.0 and CPU compatibility restrictions of W11 installer.

Vali

Believe it or not, I actually called Windows support once and they were actually helpful and friendly. Try them and see what they may have to offer.

Updating the BIOS should be easy. All modern motherboards have a QuickFlash / EasyFlash option built into the existing BIOS.
Ignore Windows update message (as it doesn't re-check sometimes) & just focus on compatibility app. If it says you're good, then you're good.
Then just use one of these options to upgrade: Download Windows 11[^]
But TBH I would stick with Win10 unless you plan on doing a clean install of Win11. Or unless you really care about the UI refresh it doesn't offer you anything of value. Win10 is just going to be more stable on a lot of hardware most likely.
