What version works on windows 10

Hi

Not been around for a very long time. I'm using MCE on a old version of Win10 which I've frozen on an old Shuttle PC, which is over 10 years old. Installed a SSD a few years back even though it's not fully utilised on the Shuttle. Recently upgrade the TV card to a Hauppage dual USB, as it had started to stutter on playback. CPU usage is below 50% recording 2 progs and playing a recording, so I think the onboard vid is not keeping up. Looking to get a mini PC. What is the min spec I can get away with and does is MCE going to work on latest version of Win10?

Thanks

If you are using Cable Card Tuners then be aware of the note below from https://garyan2.github.io/win10.html.

NOTE: CableCARD users are limited to using WMC on Win10 1511 and older.
DRM protected channels will not work on newer versions of Windows10/11.

I know some newer Intel nuc pcs are problematic. Don't remember if it's a specific chipset, gpu, or what but last I saw it had not been resolved.

If considering nuc search for details.
