[QUOTE="BoraMurdar, post: 801886, member: 2291"] Believe me, any machine bought before Windows 10 came out will work better on Windows 7 than Windows 10. Windows 8.1 isn't an option, much like Vista was. As I see that you have DDR2 RAM, and that's way before Windows 10 saw the light, Windows 7 is all way go. Need mentioning, first Windows 10 builds are noticeably faster than the latest Windows 10 builds, but for the sake of security and partial compatibility, it's always recommended to use the latest Windows version, which can bring pain to HDDs like yours. DDR2 is more expensive than DDR3 and DDR4 so, my recommendation, use that machine as long as Windows 7 is supported by Microsoft, save some money and buy yourself a modern machine with modern CPU, SSD, and DDR4 (maybe DDR5 in the future) and go with Windows 10. Another option is Lubuntu. [/QUOTE]
