So I recently started using my old laptop again and I was wondering if it's a good idea to install windows 7 on it.
it's a 2010 sony vaio VGN-TX2XP
Thing is it only has 1gb of ram and idk if it can handle win7
>>
>VGN-TX2XP
This model was released in 2006 how the fuck is it still alive

Anyways
Upgrade the ram to at least 2GB if that's a possibility or Win 7 just won't be a good experience

Win 10 might work it's a bit lighter

Good luck with drivers

thanks, anon
idek i guess that's just what sony does
>>

>>

Add more RAM?
ruffio placf

>>56546494
can't
crucial says that it can take up to 1.5gb of ram
>>
Here are the drivers for Win 7 which should work on Win 10 as well

But hey since they provide drivers for 7 maybe they deemed it good enough for that OS despite the ram amount, give it a shot

Forgot to mention where 7 drivers are missing Vista drivers carry over

>>56546419
install gentoo

but seriously, 1gb ram and shitty processor won't give you a decent win7 experience. raw win7 in idle state takes up about 700mb. increase memory to 2fb and go with ubuntu
