Pretty much any fairly new computer will do you fine with Windows 10. My wife is very happy running it on her 8 year old Lenovo laptop. Mostly she uses her computer for surfing, email, and Farmville. This computer is good for small to medium sized spreadsheets, word processing, small cad projects, and drawing. Bigger projects like creating animation and editing videos, or recent computer games need more powerful computers with more RAM and drive space.

Now if you would like to revitalize you old computer, consider the Linux operating system. Linux Mint 18 is what is on my computer. The system requirements are: 512 Meg Ram minimum ( 1 GB recommended), 9 GBytes disk space ( 20 GBytes recommended) monitor resolution 1024 x 768 or better. With this is bundle pretty much all the software most people will need. Free Download.

Linux Mint not for you, find out about hundreds of Linux distributions that are available as free downloads at distrowatch.
