| LivingMetal said: Thanks for all the info thus far. Yes, this laptop originally belonged to my mom-in-law, and she never really needed anything too powerful to begin with. My intent was to install the newest version of Windows and an anti-virus software, and then I was going to run Steam on it for lesser demanding spec games. Maybe it's not worth the resources and time to do so. |
I woud not suggest installing Win 10 or updating the OS on that machine. Just start out by cleaning it out to the point that your "Programs and Features" only contains driver software specific to the laptop. Then run PC Decrapifier and RevoUninstaller to to finish cleaning it up.
Win10 has too much crap built in and will flood your PC with "Metro" apps that will be too much of a resource hog for that old machine.
