I have done this procedure on a good number of 2012 model quad core i7 minis now. The price of these boxes on ebay is such that you can get a pair of them for what a Raspberry Pi 4 costs nowadays. I have a stack of them now that I have running RL for a Plex server, a Wordpress web server, a Guacamole server, and file servers, along with one running as a Security Onion manager node. I have plans for another one or two of them sitting around such as an email server.
