      I don’t run Windows at all. I’m probably not up to date on the latest developments, the last time I checked, there was a compatibility check for your hardware. Anyway, it seems strange to me that Windows would run fast on an old machine—are you sure about that?

          Have you ever tried installing Linux Mint on that PC? I’m not asking to encourage you to try it, but just to get your opinion. I consider Mint one of the best operating systems for breathing new life into old PCs, and I wanted to know if (assuming you’ve tried Mint) you think Windows is roughly on par with it in terms of performance.
