[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 850917"] I too would just get a good decent Linux distro and call it a day. At least they will have a new up to date OS and he will still keep receiving updates. Unless he absolutely needs Windows, Linux will do everything he needs. It's free and since it's not a major target compared to Windows security wise (at least for home users), he should be relatively safe. There's a lot of great distros that run great on older hardware, so he may even get a performance boost too. I've been trialing Manjaro KDE and I am amazed how fast it is compared to Kubuntu and this is in a VM, so I am sure you can use something like that and he will have an up to date and secure system.:)(y) [/QUOTE]
