    The insight I can provide here is fairly limited. All I can tell you is I have this PC i built myself like 5 years ago. I'm running windows 11 even though MS doesn't really want me to and have had no issues playing the game.

    The most likely culprit is probably the GPU drivers. Try installing the reference drivers from AMD/NVIDIA's website for your graphics hardware, and see if that helps. Dell in particular often has their own drivers for the hardware andd it could cause issues. Intel integrated graphics I think people have also had issues. This in spite of the fact that the game barely uses your GPU in any way at all.

    (The annoying thing with graphics drivers in win11 for me has been sometimes it wants to install drivers through windows update even if I have a newer version from AMD directly, so if you install the reference drivers, you may want to disable the optional updates so that it only updates Windows itself)

    If you do want to return the Dell, I'd reccomend doing a self-build or buying a proper desktop PC rather than an all-in-one, these will be much better for gaming, as all-in-ones often have laptop graphics hardware in them, and more likely to have issues with some games. especially older ones.
