I play ED on an XBox X but really want to experience ED in VR (I have Occulus Rift which I purchased in the hope the X would support it) so can you advise a retired, not computer experienced, Commander please? Is there a laptop (I play from my armchair viewing on a TV) that supports Occulus Rift and an XBox controller?
Advice please

Support of the XBox controller wouldn't be a problem (assuming you're using Windows as an operating system - ED is rather difficult to install and play otherwise). Laptop however will be a bit problematic, as the Rift is scraping at what the top end graphic cards (GPUs) can provide. Yes, theoretical minimum requirement is IIRC a GTX1060, but I wouldn't recommend to try it with anything smaller than a 1080, and I'd really suggest to make the effort and go for a 1080ti or 2080 (if you can get either of them).
And yes, hopping over to the VR subforum would probably be a good idea, as you'll be able to get a few more opinions there.
