problems on this win 10 install and I have installed every runtime/web package that I can think of...

Though this [link below] talks about win11, the same goes for win10 regarding installing the "3.1 desktop runtime (x64)".  At least for getting LaunchBox to work [if there's (rare) issues using the LaunchBox installer].   

As for Retroarch having problems, it usually simply installs and plays (with possibly some re-configuration and core updates).  But I'm not sure which specific program your Win10 machine is having problems with.  Originally it sounded like Retroarch. Then it sounded like the LaunchBox plugin posted above.  Now with the talk of Runtimes, it sounds like LaunchBox.  So not sure how to help.

Regarding your i5 system, the only potential issue may be the onboard graphics.  And that might not even be an issue at all.?.?.  My Arcade Cabinet has an even older i5-2550k 3.4 GHz, with 8Gig RAM as well. But also has a GTX960 4gig video card.  It seems to run LaunchBox/BigBox and all emulators I've thrown at it (so far) without issues.  Well, "without issues" that couldn't be resolved.

If Linux is a fix that suits your needs, more power to ya.  I've always been intrigued by it and have wanted to 'see what it's all about'.  But that 'power' is not within me. lol

I wouldn't recommend Linux ironically. I only used it originally because I didn't want to buy a licence and I got fed up with the "Activate Windows" watermark, now it seems there's some sort of anti windows vodoo on my system.
