Microsoft is trying to restore Bing as the default search engine on users’ browsers by spinning it as a “repair” through a utility app called PC Manager.
PC Manager is designed to boost a Windows PC’s performance by freeing up memory and eliminating unused apps and files. It offers “Health check” and “Repair tips” buttons, which users can click on to see the recommended actions.
However, Windows Latest noticed the app pushing a curious recommendation: Both Repair tips and Health check nudge you to restore Bing as the default search engine on the Edge browser.
Just know that it won’t make your games all of a sudden work well, you’re still working with the same, old hardware.
But yeah, it’s very lightweight, and it honestly probably doesn’t matter what desktop you use, they should all be fine on modern-ish hardware. My laptop is all APU from 2018-ish, and it is still very usable, and my kids still love playing Minecraft on it.
A full install is something like 10-15GB. Any desktop should use <1GB RAM (usually like 300MB or so). You just don’t get the bloat from MS and Apple, things just tend to need fewer resources.
