Is there a serial number on the CPU?

If it's just an internet/email/printing/light office PC then you could try Linux.

The BIOS screen of the motherboard should say the CPU type without an OS installed.

2l00929 5A0198 is written on it but that showed up nothing for me on google.

I have a MS 2010 office licence so I'd like to be able to use that. Is it compatable with Linux? Also is Linux user friendly?

Yeah I guess I'll have to check the bios screen then. Just wanted to get it all sorted now without hooking it up to a monitor later.
