Funny enough, I installed Win11 on a friend's HP convertible laptop today.

A 2GHz i3 and 4GB RAM, and it was still entirely usable. Not powerful by any means, but a fine socials browser, YouTube viewer, and document writer.

I'd have preferred to put Debian on it, but it wasn't my call, so I did as requested.

A 2GHz i3

Strangely, that really does not narrow down which processor it is to me.
