I have an old pc, which has Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 processor, 1GB DDR2 Ram, 500GB hdd, g31 motherboard.
Windows 7 32bit runs quite good on it.
If I add ram, and increase it to 3/4GB ram.
Will it run windows 10 64bit perfectly,
Or I'll have to use windows 10 32bit instead?
I'm staying at my parent's house for a week and got an old pc there. For some reason windows xp is not getting installed. I want to play a game on it but windows 10 isn't able to handle even light web browsing! I don't know much about linux so please help me choose one that requires low specs...
