Evidence and verification

For older refurbished laptops, operating-system compatibility should be verified before purchase. Microsoft publishes the Windows 11 system requirements, while Intel Product Specifications can be used to confirm the exact processor generation and technical characteristics. Infinite Tech’s 8GB-and-SSD recommendation is practical buying guidance rather than Microsoft’s minimum requirement.
