Microsoft's new guide to PC gaming hardware is very slightly more useful than you might expect but oddly has never heard of upscaling

Here's one we missed a few weeks ago. Microsoft has posted a new guide to PC gaming hardware. It's a pretty broad overview and not actually a completely terrible starting point for PC hardware novices. But there are some frustrating oversimplifications, some notable omissions and at least one example of unforgivable marketing nonsense involving Microsoft's Copilot+ PC standard.

Titled "How to optimize your gaming PC setup," the guide touches on most key hardware issues, albeit with one fairly obvious omission.
