Hello,

Your PC model usually comes with WIndows 8, but 8 is end of life nowadays (since January) >> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-81

Latest Microsoft operating system is Windows 11 but it is not officially supported by your device. Your PC models is from 2014 and end of warranty period. It might not support correctly latest OS versions/changes. But you can try.

You may need to install Windows 10 which is still supported by its vendor Microsoft
