The system has a pentium 4(1 core), 1gig of ram, board has A02 BIOS, and only 76G of storage when unformatted. The endgame is to have it as an emulator for it to run retro games, other functionality is a plus. The problem with windows is the ram requirements for almost everything, so I turn to linux for an even more bare bones os to put less stress on this old horse. Wanting some form of security I found the novelty of installing windows 10 home, on a system that can't run windows 7 to my knowledge. After some light research I found the possibility of upgrading on the Optiplex's pentium 4 with the LGA775 socket, but decided against spending money as I want this as a pure revival not a "million dollar man" project. I cleaned them off, both the system and HDD for protection and decided on the Optiplex as the most usable. Of the survivors was an e-machine from '01 at most, and a Dell Optiplex 210L from '06. The other day I was spring cleaning and came across several old pc's 2 still kicking and one with dead capacitors on the board.
