Finally, with a gaming score of 70%, this CPU's suitability for 3D gaming is good.
Graphics1.21% is too low to play 3D games or use CAD packages. (Note: general computing tasks don't require 3D graphics)
Boot Drive18.6% is an extremely low SSD score, this system will benefit from a faster SSD.

OS VersionAlthough Windows 10 is not the most recent version of Windows, it remains a great option.
