And, to my surprise, the netbook behaves with more stability than when I used Windows 7 Starter and with a slightly higher speed. Just last week I added more RAM to it, raising it to 2GB DD3, which is the maximum the motherboard supports, and I upgraded the OS to Windows 8.1 Pro 32-bit. Processor: Intel Atom N570 (1 MB L2 cache, 1.66 Ghz) I have a netbook with similar characteristics: Acer Aspire One Happy 2 AOD2607. Or, you could use it as your guinea pig machine for Win 10 patches (which is probably what I’d be doing if I was running Win 10). There are also some other distros that are purported to be good/fast for computers with limited resources. I would stick with Mint but maybe use a lighter weight desktop like Mate or XFCE. I think Mint is faster than Ubuntu (those are the only two distros I have any experience with). So, my suggestion is to use it as a Linux computer. That meant there wasn’t much else I could do to speed it up since the HDD seemed fairly fast and internet connections were pretty quick and stable. I’m far from a computer hardware techie, but I didn’t see any way of adding more RAM on this computer. So now it’s my guinea pig machine for Mint 19.2 updates (not that I really need it in that capacity since 19.2 updates are always reliable in my experience), and it once again would be nice for traveling. it thinks it needs to do, it actually moves along fairly well.

If you give it about 15 minutes to boot up and do whatever update checking, etc.

Now, I have it dual booted with Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon 64 bit (my atom processor turned out to support 64 bit OSs and programs). (It’s small size and light weight made it very nice for travelling, back in the day.) Back in 2009-2011 it was marginally acceptable, but it turned into my guinea pig machine for testing Win 7 patches, for which it was excellent because I didn’t really care what happened to it, and because it gave me a very good idea of what to expect when I installed patches on Win 7 computers that I really needed to work. I have a 2009 Gateway netbook with the same specs, that came with Win 7 Starter that “moves like a herd of turtles”. IMHO some things just aren’t meant to be, and one of those things is a 1GB RAM, 160 GB HDD, Atom CPU N270, 32 bit computer running – or trying to run – Windows.
