Why are you still using 7? That's risky.
I installed win10 enterprise 64bit on an old Toshiba netbook and it runs better than the win7 starter 32bit that was originally on it.

Maybe I'll gab 10 at some point, just hasn't been an issue. Mostly just for shows and old emulation anywho.
I like using Windows 10 as my remote desktop on my phone and tablet when I'm not gaming.Quote:

Windows 10 is far from perfect, I use it because I want to know what I'm critizing. I don't judge things without using them.
You can get linux distros built for just emulation.Quote:

I've tested batocera on a tiny netbook...32bit atom with only 1.5GB ram...and it's pretty easy to use. The hardware means I've only really looked at emulating old 8bit systems, which was my intention anyway.
I did try testing the other distros I mentioned, but out of all of them batocera worked straight away on the crappy hardware I was trying to use. Lakka installed but the screen was messed up, apparently a common issue that can be fixed by ssh and editing configuration...meh I couldn't be bothered :lol
Recalbox and retropie installed but not everything on the netbook was working (touchpad and I think one sd card slot wasn't working...maybe some other shit idk, I moved on).
As long as you have a regularly updated HOSTS file you should be immunized from from most malware, use Hostsman.Quote:

Can you toss me a link to some pirate 64bit version of Win10?Quote:

^No that isn't my machine.
But my current main lappy is only 1.65GHz DC AMD with radeon graphics and 8GB ram, win10 64bit runs much better than win7 64bit on this.
I wouldn't worry about it. I left Walmart on not so good terms, but fuck them too, I would never work for Walmart again.Quote:

You can dload it from Microsoft with the media creation tool and use your own key if you have one. I don't trust any pirate OS. It's bad enough with all the shit MS put in it, without worrying what else is in it.Quote:

Yeah. I'm looking forward to having more than 3.?GB of ram. Pissed me off when I bought a graphics card not that long ago and I lost ram when I installed it, because of the 32bit 4GB ram cap.Quote:

That's fucking awesome. I'm going to set it as my background for a tick if you don't mind?
I'm sure you can run it without a key for a while, not sure if it is 30 days.Quote:

I'm still finding my way around, but I don't regret ditching Win10.Quote:

If you really want to give an old PC a maximum performance boost under heavenly conditions for your hardware you can run Lubuntu. You don't have to get rid of Mint, they can both be installed as a dual boot option.
Win10 on my 1.65GHz laptop doesn't act like that, I don't get freezes even when I'm torrenting + transferring files to ext HDD and browsing. But yeah finding stuff after being on 7 for so long was pissing me off for months.Quote:

How old is this PC and how much ram does it have?
I've tried different versions of Linux in the past, Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, Puppy, but always gone back to Windows. Mint isn't a million miles away from a Windows set-up, so it makes the transition easier. I might try Lubuntu on VM first.Quote:

Mint is full-featured and less bare-bones than Lubuntu, you might not like how over-simplistic Lubuntu is. Mint is the best Linux distro, if you want to squeeze out maximum performance on a Debian-based distro Lubuntu is at your disposal. Since it's so lightweight, Lubuntu is a good choice for a minimalistic virtual machine anyway.
I had a look at a few YouTube videos of Lubuntu and it seems very basic. Mint seems to be working well so I'll stick with that for now. Thanks for your input, it's appreciated.Quote:

I wish I get speeds like that. My DSL is unbearably slow. I have tried various different distros of Linux. Staring with Suse was not a good idea. I didn't mind Linux Mint though.Quote:

It was neat the first time around but after all these releases on nearly a dozen systems now they should just give you the option to skip it if you so desire.
Hows everyone?
I didn't mean the qte fight, it's the proper boss fight where you can hit him with all your ammo (including rpg) but he doesn't die. But if you can get him into stun lock with the knife he dies quickly, trick is getting him into the stun lock...dunno if I'm capable of doing that now it might take numerous deaths :yawn:Quote:
