Not to be that guy, but have you considered switching to Linux?
I recently installed Nobara on my ten-year-old gaming PC (i5 4690, 16GB RAM), stuck an RX6700 XT in it and she runs like a beaut.
^This...
mines still a decent gaming rig that can play Skyrim, gta v on ultra settings but doesn't meet windows 11 requirements. So Decided to Install kubuntu and all works well. And I'm glad I did, not throwing away a good working still capable hardware.
Just for reference my specs are:
i7 3770K.
Asus sabertooth z77 motherboard.
2tb ssd.
32gb ram.
Msi rtx3060 12gb vram.
Been running kubuntu for 1 year 2 months and thanks to steam for supporting linux (via proton)
Also play wow (using lutris)
In the last three months, I maybe booted into my windows drive three times? Twice to play Siege and once to flash a firmware update for a particular device. Windows is increasingly irrelevant to gaming, and I'm loving it.
Yep, Linux gaming has really come on leaps and bounds in the past five years. All my steam games run perfectly with Proton, and the native support for PS/Xbox controllers has been flawless.
