[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1099702, member: 176704"] [USER=176362]@Analoguesat[/USER] I "inherited" an earlier Samsung NP110 about 2 yrs ago (gave stepdaughter a 1/2 decent Dell laptop - but even then it later needed an SSD & replacement 8GB RAM before it ran W10 Pro "smoothly"!). OTOH, the 2012-13 vintage Vivobook S200E with an SSD runs W10 Pro pretty well - even over the wifi - because it came with 4GB soldered onto the m/b (so can't be upgraded). Also got a couple of 2007-vintage Dell 1525's and they run W10 (one Home, one Pro) well (including Office 2016 & 2019 respectively) with SSD's (dead easy to install those m/c's) and 4GB - just don't try anything "really complicated" with them! As for that NP110, I "rediscovered" it yesterday - and I remember fitting a 2GB RAM stick in it just after I got it and that made it run somewhat more smoothly. Also installed the then-current MINT distro to experiment with LINUX, but that soon got sidetracked by other things - must have another try when less busy! [/QUOTE]
