@ithds6,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

You are asking an excellent and practical question -especially with the arrival of Windows 11 24H2, which brings increased AI and security requirements under the hood. Based on your intended use such as running multiple browsers, Office 2021 apps, communication tools, and Adobe Acrobat Pro, here’s what you’ll want to ensure a smooth, responsive experience:

---

Recommended Hardware for Windows 11 24H2 & Your Workflow:

Component Recommended Spec (for smooth multitasking)

CPU	Intel Core i5 (10th Gen or newer) or AMD Ryzen 5 3000+
	(Minimum: 4 cores / 8 threads)
RAM	16 GB DDR4 (32 GB ideal for heavier multitasking)
Storage	500 GB NVMe SSD or larger (fast boot & quick app switching)
Graphics	Integrated is fine (Intel UHD 630+/Radeon Vega), discrete GPU optional
TPM & UEFI	TPM 2.0 & Secure Boot must be enabled (mandatory for Win11 24H2)
Display	Full HD (1920×1080) or higher for workspace clarity
Network	Wi-Fi 5/6 or wired Ethernet for video calls and smooth connectivity

Why These Specs?

You're planning to use:

• 8–10 Chrome tabs + 6–8 Edge tabs (high memory and CPU usage)

• Office 2021 suite (Excel, Word, Outlook – multitasking + file sync/load)

• Jitsi + WhatsApp Desktop (real-time communication = sustained RAM/CPU draw)

• Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 (still works but older; keep OS patches up-to-date)

These tasks run smoother when there’s enough CPU headroom and RAM to avoid disk swapping and lag when switching between applications.

---

Optional Enhancements:

• Consider 32 GB RAM if you're often multitasking with large Excel files or many browser tabs.

• A dedicated GPU (like an Nvidia GTX 1650 or AMD RX 6400) can help with visual responsiveness and video calls, but it's not strictly necessary.

• Use Startup Apps manager in Task Manager to limit unnecessary background processes.
