Guys I have to thank every one of you. I upgraded the ram to 4gb. Replaced old spinning hdd with 500gb ssd samsung 860 evo. Reinstalled windows 7 but remained at 64bit flavor. GUYS this laptop has never been so fast like it is now. It boots up under 20 seconds. Websites are snappy (well snappy considering this cpu) and for 2-3 tabs in browser it is more than enough. Before windows 7 I tried vista again on that ssd, but it kept bluescreening with dpc watchdog violation. Mom is happy with 7 though so it is not a problem at all. Again HUGE thanks to everyone that helped and suggested actually good things.

okay it seems like you're not objective cause you are windows 7 hater (I looked on your profile) my core 2 duo t5870 is 2 ghz at base clock! I simply asked why are you recommending vista when we can't use it? (security reasons and office) I don't have any experience in kernel stuff or programming. so extending something isn't my cup of coffee. I would buy new laptop if they were in stock (I already said that) like paying 800 dollars for pentium laptop is something I simply refuse to do. We already upgraded the ram to 4gb so it seems to be little better and I'll try to reinstall windows 7 32bit as you suggested and I'll not update it. (even though that will limit my ram to 3 gb and something?) Please try to not attack me for having older laptop... I mean you could be windows 7 hater but this was inadequate.

Hi, Why do you save go back to vista? Why is it obvious? (I don't want to sound rude or anything but this is something very different to opinions on internet) We need windows 7 on there because internet banking stopped working on windows vista and most websites no longer loaded up correctly. SP1 is needed for microsoft office 2016 (office 2010 stopped being able to read modern documents that my mom needs to open because of work) She could click on anything so having an updated windows is important for her. She does not play any games (I have my gaming tower for that). I could try windows 8 because what I've read here is that it is the fastest modern os idk honestly. Upgrade is now out of question because of shortages.

Hello and thank you for your warm greeting. We don't have any antivirus installed but we have windows update. I don't know but it is just not possible to even browse the web. It is very laggy and I don't understand why

Hello everyone My friend said that you guys are the best when dealing with legacy operating systems. My mom has older laptop that still had old vista on it. We did clean install of windows 7 but now the laptop feels more sluggish than before. Why could that be? Windows 7 was always snappy on my computers. Editing: She was using it daily with vista up until now (shopping, web browsing etc..) intel core 2 duo t5870 2gb ram 500gb hdd 7200rpm Windows 7 home premium 32 bit
