I'm looking to replace my ageing zBox with a new HTPC, as it looks like the hardware it's on the way out.
I plan to use it mostly with Openelec or Libreelec. Mostly ...
But I'd also like to run Windows 10 as there are some things like Netflix and Amazon video that simply run better on full Windows. Plus having Windows 10 would give me a second PC for convenience.
I'm looking to keep the costs down as much as possible.
What is the minimum recommended specification that I would need to play a Blu-Ray movie while running Kodi on Windows 10, and still have it feeling smooth and without stuttering?
I will probably buy above the minimum, but I need to know what the lowest spec is so that I don't end up with something that's too low spec.
I have no intention of using 3D or 4K video, or HD streams. It won't be used for gaming. Not even casual gaming or retro gaming. As I already have a PC capable of doing all of that.
I already have a Raspberry Pi, and a media streamer, so I'm not looking for anything like that. Just a low speced Windows 10 box.
