      I have a spare Dell mini tower that cannot be upgraded to Win 11. Its motherboard has a Pcie v2 x16 slot
      Bought a x540 T2 which can run at 10 gig.
      I have been offered 5 Gig for a good price.

        Like a Sandy Bridge i5 from 2011? I would not expect it to. It might do 5G. But it's going to get hot and loud doing it. 😉
