Just bought this thing for $7 at a garage sale. It's an HP Pavilion 4483. It's currently running Windows 98.
My question is, am I able to update it to Windows XP?
>>
Nope better install puppy Linux
>>
>>59694899
Install a GNU/Linux Distro with KDE 5.
>>
Throw it in the trash along with the rest of the shit in the picture and stop living in the year 2000

Probably not. Most Win98 machines would've had 64MB RAM or under. Google gives me nothing for specs on this, though.

Should have bought that Pikachu instead

Don't, they are a heck of a lot more fun running a dos-based windows (like Windows 98) so you can mess around with older games
>>
>>59694899
I've been able to run windows xp on 128mb of ram and some 500mhz pentium or amd, but it was slow as dogshit, and it was probably using virtual memory like a whore. You probably can, but it probably also needs another 64mb stick before it is tolerable.

>>59694899
Install Linux on it.

>>59696140
This is the only reasonable option, other than Windows 98.
