One area where you should upgrade is the OS itself, that is, if you want to go online, most browsers will not support non supported OS'. That is, they force you to use an older, outdated version of say, Firefox.Only one browser will work with a modern version is Opera, but I've had issues getting it to download, let alone work in XP. Thus, the old eMachines I was using as a media server of sorts, eventually got scrapped as of last year.
The PC was old enough to run, not just a Celeron (I had upgraded it to a P4 in 2012), but also ran IDE drives but no longer had a working copy of XP on disc and what was on the drive was not working correctly by bringing up a sign in prompt when I had no password setup.
I also had to upgrade from Vista when my old Dell Studio XPS from 2009 took a dump in 2019 by a failing hard drive, Windows 10, and now 11, so what's the big issue? I'm not as bad about change as I once was, but I still don't like change for changes sake, but don't mind if change is needed when what you'd been using simply does not work anymore.
