Well, congratulations!
I have moved your post into the Chat area since you do not seem to be asking for support.

It will run even better if you install kernel 5.8 from within Update Manager. Click the View menu and select Kernels.

Oh no, not going down that rabbit hole .... works just fine as is and if it ain't broke, I ain't "fixing it better"

Kernel 5.8 is built for that CPU. Still, it's your choice.

5.8 works so much better with that CPU, I have the 10th gen in my System 76, and it REALLY likes the 5.8 kernel.
