Works a treat the only thing few things I found that don't work were forticlient vpn but you can download a basic version from Microsoft store which actually does mfa and sll so I can connect to work.
Veracrypt wouldn't install but the portable version works.
Installed the old chess program fritx 13 on it and that works. You have to be careful which uci engines you install as they tend to be designed for specific processors or graphic cards. So you just need too check the options before you download them.
Adobe stuff works. Libre office works. I don't use autocad.
My canon printer works haven't tried the scanner yet though.
I may have a laugh and try install Omnipage pro on it that should be a test.
I was surprised how fast and responsive it was. It made my mac mini 2 look like a slug in comparison.
So unless I'm gaming this is now my main computer due to the poor gpu.
The only thing against these will Microsoft lose interest at some point in the future.
