ffuturesAfter a fair amount of faffing around I've bought a refurbished HP Z2 Workstation PC on eBay for a little over £300, should get it by the end of the week. Specifications are
Intel Core i7 8700 processor 3.2GHz (MaxTurbo 4.6GHz)
32 GB RAM
Storage - 1TB SSD + 2TB HD
Form factor - micro tower
Windows 11 Professional
It doesn't have a graphics card additional to the motherboard, I don't expect that to be a problem for my purposes but I can put one in if necessary.
Since my experience of Windows 11 is limited, I'd be grateful for suggestions on anything I need to do to keep it under control - for example, when I switched to Window 10 I had to install a third party user interface program to make it work more like earlier versions.
