A:Answer Hello Alyssa, thank you for your question. If your 11-year-old has ever utilized a non-gaming computer, the experience should be intuitive. A gaming laptop uses the same operating system, with more powerful components. There are multiple Game Service Clients your 11-year-old can use to download and play games, such as Xbox Game Pass and Steam. The PC Associates at your local Best Buy are a great resource for information and knowledge on the use and navigation of Gaming Laptops. In regards to the performance of this laptop: as system requirements for software constantly change, we are unable to answer questions about software compatibility or performance. What is compatible today may not be in the future. Please check the software manufacturer's website for the most current minimum and recommended requirements.
