What will in my example a 10 year old Mac Mini with USB 2, Bluetooth, gigabit Ethernet running Windows 7 and the latest version of Chrome be incompatible with? A lot of software these days are run from a web browser.
My 8 year old Core 2 Duo running Windows 10 can run my entire development stack - VSCode with Python, Node, and C#. I tried it and until it starts swapping, you can’t tell the difference in normal use.
As far as support. How is it easier or harder to support an older computer running Windows + Office + Chrome than a newer computer?
In fact my new computer I bought in 2016 has the same amount of RAM - 8GB, a slightly worse display (1920x1080 vs 1920x1200), and no gigabit Ethernet as my old Dell from 2009.
