I have an old laptop and I have not used in years and wanted to see if I can put it to some use, specs compaq presario v5000 , Windows xp sp 2 home edition ,AMD Turion 64 mobile , 1.58ghz , 896 ram ,

My problem is when I connect to the internet in wire or wireless internet explorer shows " page cant be displayed " but when I type www.google .com in the address bar google comes up "
now I can search things like if I want to know the date or time as example it shows it but when I click to open a site it shows page cant display , funny enough bing search works www.msn.com worked ,

I know the laptop is old with low ram I have restored windows xp to factory and it still wont work , I cant update windows XP as it is not supported so i was wondering if anyone can help to get this laptop online even if it runs slow.

Time to use Linux if win 10 doesn’t work. And run windows 10 unactivated as long as you like
