Too much junk on the computer led the old computer to crash. I want to transfer the RAM chips over to this computer to get the machine roaring.

You could try a fresh install on your old PC that pooed itself of the older Windows 10 via USB stick set up to install on another computer ...

Go with the download tool and follow the steps in "select Create installation media for another PC"

I was not really clear about what I meant. I tried to install Windows 11. It did not work. I went back to using Windows 10. The computer crashed after about a week of reusing Windows 10. If Windows 11 did something to my computer during an attempted installation, then it might have been responsible for what happened for it to crash and not start up again.

I am looking to take the old RAM chips out of the computer and put it into this one. But, I might only have one or two slots to put the chips into. So, that 8Gb RAM chip might have to suffice. Unless I can get another 4Gb in with it. I would have a computer with 20Gb of RAM then.

In that case, the USB stuff mentioned above might get it going again because the PC "should" boot off the Windows media created USB.

I think there is the option to keep documents that were on the dead PC but all other software would be wiped if you went ahead with the fresh install of Windows via the USB.

As a young worker, I eagerly bought Windows 1.0

Here's what it did.

Loaded into RAM and displayed a GUI and mouse interface that only showed icons of applications you defined
If you clicked on an icon it launched the app, which were all character based.
But the Win 1.0 occupied almost all of the available 640K Ram so some of the apps could no load at all.

I kicked it off, dumped the purchase in the bin.

But because I worked for organisations that were MS based I had to use it at work. The only two versions that were stable and half usable were 95 and Windows 7.

You cannot polish a turd.
