I want to upgrade a PC I got from a friend who passed away so it can run Windows 11. He was great with this stuff, but I'm decidedly not.

I think my motherboard is outdated. It's an H110M-A. I was told that Rufus can bypass the current barriers, since upgrading my motherboard alone won't work. But I was also told that I can try upgrading the motherboard and cpu. Current CPU is Intel(R) Core i5-6500.

I recently heard from an acquaintance that it's best to upgrade where I can anyways, since when another update eventually comes around Rufus might not be able to handle it. Not sure how true that is, though.

What motherboard and cpu upgrades would I need?

My great grandmother was Swedish, and she always said "tusen tack." I was pretty young at the time, so I only understood she was thanking me or other family members. Now that I actually know a small amount of Swedish, I'm wondering why she said "tusen tack" instead of something like "tack så mycket."

I know it means "thousand thanks" but wouldn't "tack så mycket" be more appropriate? When I was in Sweden for a bit, I asked someone about this while we were chatting. They said "aww, that's sweet" and suggested I use it, but didn't elaborate much. Should I use it, or stick with "tack så mycket?"

Edit: Thanks for the help! I was massively overthinking it. The answer is probably just that she liked how it sounded.

Edit 2: The answer could also be that, to the best of my recollection, my great grandfather was Norwegian. Or maybe my great great grandfather? I don't know a lot about him, and I don't have access to the family records right now, so I can't remember for sure. Either way, there was a Norwegian in the family, so the common use "tusen tack" could have come from him. "Uff da" absolutely came from him.

It's incredibly fun to read these comments and learn more! My great grandma was an amazing person, and learning about all of this makes me feel closer to her.
