You have 12 year old graphics hardware and lowend hardware at that. That's not current gen graphics or even last gen. It's way old and most likely long abandoned by the manufacturer. It's a miracle it still boots a current version of Windows. You wouldn't have been able to do that with 1997 hardware in 2009.
Its a perfectly capable core 2 extreme that still does most tasks effortlessly including playback of 4K videos with gpu offloading. I don't want to throw away a perfectly working system.

Regarding your condescending lecture on last gen-next gen, I would like to point out that every other software vendor is still supporting it including Adobe Acrobat Pro 2021, Foxit Reader 11, SumatraPDF etc. Since every other vendor is not having a problem, then amazon shouldn't as well. And again if Amazon did not support this Hardware, they should have made it clear.

This was clearly a help post and if you had nothing better to contribute (for example a solution) except lecturing on how old my hardware is, then you should've kept your opinion to yourself.

Aand Windows 11 (after patching and deployment with DISM) also runs on this old hardware fluidly. I plan to upgrade after it RTMs. So much for old hardware right mate?
