It's only worth it if your computer is compatible and you get it via Windows Updates. Otherwise, it really does struggle with old hardware. Your mileage may vary.

It works fine on my 13 year old DELL Studio XPS 16, but maybe that's an exception. If you're using this tool because a message appears that your hardware is not compatbible, you know it's on your own risk. Please make sure you have a backup of your OS partition before you start, e.g. using Aomei Backupper.
