    Looking for lightweight Windows that I can put on old Win XP computer


    I'm looking for a lightweight Windows that I can put on an old Win XP laptop. The machine is still very functional, but low on resources (~2-4GB of RAM and 40-70GB HDD), so it might not do well with full Win 10 Home.

    I had seen something about Win 10 Lite and came looking for it here, but in researching further, I see it's actually called Win 12 Lite and it's Linux based (webhouses.co.uk/lite) and out of UK.

    While I could likely cope with Linux, this PC might be used by grandkids and the apps might be too different for them. Of course, I might be able to load Chrome and make it similar to a Chromebook.

    Any suggestions?

    (Sorry if this should be in another thread. I'm not sure where to post it.)

    :)

    Win 10 networking to an XP computer has changed

    I read your other post and it seems you're wanting us to enable SSP / NTLM on the XP machine. Is this what you were suggesting?
    1. Click Administrative Tools.
    2. Click Local Security Policy > Local Policies > Security Options > Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level.
    3. Click Send LM& NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated.
    I'm not sure what SSP is? I saw references to SSO is that what you meant?
