Default What's the worst machine you saw running Windows 10?

I've this question to compare just to know if I should upgrade my Windows 7
system with 2 GB RAM and Dual Core processor. The machine came with Windows
Vista then I installed Windows 7 but it is not very fast.

I have a 2009 Compaq-Presario 64 bit single processor, 2.7 GHz, 2 GBs
Ram.

I have been checking out Windows 10 on it, and it runs fine.

I mean I'm happy with her but I'm not so sure if she has power enough to run
Windows 10. Then I presume Windows 10 will get slower with more and more
updates then will be impossible to reinstall Windows 7 over Windows 10
because new system takes the machine. Only way I see is to install Linux
over Windows 10.

Then, I'd make sure I had a backup image of the present system before doing
the upgrade; however, the upgrade allows you roll-back within 30-days if
you don't like what you got yerself into...

How fast is so dependent on so many things, especially your ISP, your plan,
your router, your gateway, software - especially AV and firewalls...

I've been happily testing on a Lenovo X60 tablet laptop with a 1.6GHz
core 2 duo processor and 2GB ram.
It originally ran XP tablet edition. Some of these machines originally
came with Vista, but not this one.

I see very little improvement from the change of OS, and I haven't yet
got all the interfaces working in W10 that worked in XP (eg firewire
audio interfaces).

My netbook is dual core celeron N2840, with 8GB and 64GB SATA2 SSD, it
has no problems with Win10.

My 2006 Dell Dimension with 2GB copes well with W10. In fact it runs
more smoothly than does my workhorse Lattitude E6410 with an i5
processor and 4GB.

It runs excellently on a tablet with Quad-core 1.33GHz (1.83GHz burst
frequency) Intel Atom Z3735F processor, 2GB RAM, 32 bit on a x64-based
processor, 24GB SSD + 32GB sd card.

I have no idea at all what the burst frequency is, but I've copied it
from a written spec.

The last paragraph has nothing to do with the speed of the pc. Unlikely
any working pc today can't keep up with the ISP's feed assuming it's not
doing so much else it simply can't do "everything" at same time.

Depends on what he meant by "fast." You can always find something to be
argumentative about because you are an asshole with a keyboard - the
epitome of "troll" and a dumbass! No meds can cure you. Have a nice life.
Or not.

"Burst" - Depends on CPU temperature. And how good a job the
designers did cooling the processor. It can burst to 1.83GHz
if the CPU is cool enough.

Under sustained load, it could drop to 1.33GHz.

And other thermal features could also be engaged
to drop performance further.

It is a $17 processor. A SOC (system-on-a-chip).

It has a 64 bit memory interface, a single channel.
Your RAM is the most RAM that CPU supports (2GB).

The datasheet for the processor was a hoot. Vol.1
was the usual kind of Intel document. The second
document was larger. It was probably machine
generated, rather than humans writing it, and
Vol.2 is 4274 pages long. I take it, no human
has ever been forced to read the whole thing.

In terms of page count, this is the largest
PDF I've ever opened.

I suppose a BIOS designer somewhere, might have
been required to read it... Yikes.

I was in PC World the other day and I had a play with a Surface Pro tablet.
My verdict; not better than the Linx 10 that I have; not faster, not
more HD, no better. And it costs more than twice as much.

And the Linx updated to Win10 with consummate ease and grace.

Take that large PDF through a different mind-set; one that proclaims the
vast attention to detail afforded to it, rather than as an encumbrance
designed to trip you up.

With 2GB of RAM, I found Vista and 7 to be quite swift. Of course, I
took great care in maintaining my systems. I would say that 10 should
run well on that amount but you should consider taking care of your
registry.

I can assure you that just about any distribution of Linux will run
quite well on 2GB. The problem is that most of their software is quite
buggy, the userbase consists of some of the most repulsive individuals
you'll ever meet and you won't necessarily get any real help for the
significant problems you're likely to face. Just compare Windows
newsgroups to Linux ones. People get along here whereas Linux ones
usually consist of people calling each other idiots and liars over the
slightest disagreement.

That is definitely FALSE.

...and that ONLY happens because *YOU* go there and CAUSE IT TO HAPPEN. You
live up to your former nyms of "Slimer" and "Silver Slimer."

Bermudez, do not pay any attention to what this troll has to say about
Linux. He is just jealous.
