I like playing arounf with microsoft flight simulator. The new FSX 2020 looks great but no way my laptop will run it. I have a Dell Optiplex 380 gathering dust in a cupboard, could it be upgraded to run fsx 2020 Instead of me having to fork out for a whole new machine?

No chance.
The one you linked to is a Core2 Duo cpu. The minimum spec was i5, this is a massive jump from your old relic.
You’d need to replace everything to get it up to spec from motherboard, Cup, fan, heatsink, ram etc... buy a new pc meeting the required spec. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.
