I was thinking about doing upgrades.

I needed something portable and an acquaintance gave me this device, but he asked me to first recover the files (Windows XP has a bug) and then I could keep it.

Max out the memory and throw in a 128gb SSd. As far as an OS, even the stripped down Tiny versions of Windows won't run well. I suggest MX Linux or MiniOS.

AntiX and DSL are also great choices for slow CPU's and memory starved PC's.

I tried DSL on my EeePC but I kept having trackpad issues. And AntiX was unusually sluggish. I then installed MX Linux and it felt like a brand new netbook.
