[QUOTE="Carmen A. Hernandez, post: 340502, member: 32079"] Windows 7 Home Premium, 32 bit should run pretty good on the machine you are describing. You can also try Windows 7 Basic, it should run even better with this configuration. Personally, on machines with little resources I use Bit Defender free, because it uses very little resources in addition to be easily used by an old man or people which are not very computer savvy. For movie streaming you can use Popcorn Time, works great for me and automatically updates, therefore little to no intervention is involved on the user's behalf. Internet Surfing is a whole other story, if he likes to have a multimedia readily available, you can try Torch which is a Chrome fork, but the plus to this little browser is that he will have music readily available, he can use it to download torrents, play games and he can share on various social forums. Besides, you can use all of Chrome's add-ons. WPS is excellent for word processing and spreadsheets, it's free, uses very little resources and it's 100% compatible with MS Office, including Office 2010. Hope this helps!!! [/QUOTE]
