just for "testing" or to see if you can manage to start the attack, a precompiled windows binary of hashcat would be the best starting point, even with a more or less actual laptop cpu (intel cpu) hashcat will most likey just run out of the box (if opencl drivers are installed)
bruteforcing will be resultin in "forget it" (any CPU) but if you have a wordlist of your passwords used you may be able to recover your pw
Thanks for your help.
On this PC the windows binaries don’t work either. With -I it shows only the Nvidia GPU and no CPU info.
I have nevertheless tried to force to another device (to use the CPU) with -D without success.
So it’s game over for this machine.
