I do not want to by a new computer to handle larger files. My old PC already struggles with DPP4 and m6 raw files.

+1 I had to build a new PC after buying the M6ii (rendering was agonizingly slow). The new box is much better, but there is still a noticeable difference when processing my 32 MP files vs my 7D2's 20 MP ones. (DPP would really benefit from improvements like multithreading IMO).

But I wouldn't give up these beautiful 32 MP images for anything!

Yes.  If you go with more mega pixels you will need to increase your  computing power.  I use an ipad pro, 2017 and 2020, and both handle both increased MP and 4k videos BETTER than most pc.  You will also need to change your software, but that comes with the attendant savings of no subscriptions.

And yes the files are absolutely worth it.
