I tried Linux Mint first because it is nice, but the results were just like Windows as someone mentioned before it's just like Windows. Even using older versions did not help. I wound up going with Lubuntu 16.04.10. I'm not worried about the security too much. I am just using Gridplayer...

Thank you.

Lubuntu won. Kicking Windows butt. Thank you all for the input I really appreciate it.

Ok, thank you. Will probably go with Lubuntu.

Someone has said the system was not designed for multi-tasking which makes sense too. I am trying Linux in a bit. I'm just playing around here but I'm a news junkie and thought this would be fun.

If the newer versions using more resources makes it hotter then possibly. I think I'm going to try Linux. It's just a little project I'm doing. I appreciate the reply.

LOL that made me laugh because I am now considering it. The program I use has a Linux version, but I am not good with Linux. Always something that will not work for me. I might tho, Lubuntu is usually good to me when I play with that. Any flavor you recommend or prefer for older systems? The...

I don't believe I am. I just don't want the computers to update at all because from my testing Windows uses more resources with the newer versions vs the original Windows 10. The specs are: MSI g41m-P33 MoBo Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 2.94GHz 1066MHz FSB / 2 cores no HT / Qtr 1 2009 RAM: 4GB...

This is regular Home edition 1507 build 10240, downloaded shortly after it was released. I know the last time I installed this version on a friend's laptop like 2-3 years ago it updated all the to way 20H2 when left to do it's thing. He is still running off of that install and I am pretty sure...

Unfortunately, it's Home edition. :(

I appreciate the security concerns and have them myself. My install DVD was made by me and downloaded from Microsoft when Win10 was first released so I know it's clean. I already have all incoming connections blocked in the firewall. I should be looking into Mitre and Spectre patches I suppose...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but for up-to-date/accurate information I have to ask again. Already have O&O ShutUp10++ on the machine, but that seems to only work so much before things start getting turned back on. Are there registry hacks I can do that will permanently disable Windows...

This thread is solved. Thank you all for the tips!

No worries, I tend to ramble about stuff! Thank you for the recommendation!

Ok cool. Thanks for the tips! I should be okay.
