  1. Windows OS for VERY OLD laptop


    I have been given a pristine Acer Aspire One zg5 which has an Atom 230 cpu, 1596MHz 120G SATA2 Hitachi HDD and 1G of RAM.I'm looking for a minimal Windows type OS to run on it.I've tried Debian 11.6 32 bit and it runs no it WALKS. Its just TOO slow.However I get a stop error if I try to install XP SP3 - something about AHCI drivers. Yet I know this machine USED to run XP.Grateful for any suggestions

    :)
