My trusty HP computer just died after roughly twenty years. (Windows 7!) I have zero knowledge of computers and I'm hoping for some extremely basic advice. 95% of my computer's use is to play music through my whole-house system via a Sound Blaster SB1040 unit. I've been told that I need a computer with a PCIEX1 port, and also that the SB1040 is not supported by Windows 11. Does that sound correct? Is there a chance that my SB1040 might work with a new computer? And if I must buy a new Sound Blaster, which unit would be best for me? Its all about music for me, and I have zero interest in gaming etc, so I'm hoping for a 'basic' unit. Any ideas? Thanks!
