ProcessorWith a relatively low single core score, this CPU can handle email, light web browsing and basic audio/video playback, but it will struggle to handle CPU intensive tasks. Finally, with a gaming score of 31.6%, this CPU's suitability for 3D gaming is poor.
Boot Drive33.2% is low SSD score. With a better SSD this system will boot faster, make applications more responsive and reduce IO wait times.

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