I have three Amateur Radio programs which will only run on a Window$ machine and are even problematic on Windows 7. They will not run under WINE for Linux either, which I use for a couple of other Window$ programs. Thus, I am looking for ideas on putting together a rig that will run one dedicated program which needs 2 COM ports and is set up for Windows 10 or 11. Maybe just buying a couple of small Dell refurbished boxes already loaded with Window$ 10/11 and then cleaning out the cruft?

Thanks in advance for advice!

I checked out the GMKtec mini pcs. Going to a couple of flea markets up in town to see what they have. Good advice from you all, and I appreciate it!

No problem and good luck. Hate dropping their name but there's some old lenovo thinkcentres out there that'd suit you well..as long as you have the right USB adapters.
