18 R1, and Davinci Resolve

Hi,

I have an 8 years old (I think) Alienware18 laptop, currently running Linux.

I wish to use it to run Davinci Resolve 18, Denhancer, stuff like that for editing videos. On Linux it is almost impossible to run Davinci on such a machine due to NVIDIA drivers problems.

Is it worth it to reinstall or send it to Dell to reinstall Windows so I can use Davinci Resolve 18, Denhancer?

Are the Alienware18 specs out of date to run latest Davinci?

Thank you.
