What to install on an old laptop for OS?

Question

Windows

Hello, there is an old Samsung SA31 laptop (NP-SA31-JT0)

Resolution: 1366x768
Processor: Intel Core i3-330M
Frequency, GHz: 2.13
RAM: 4GB DDR III 533 Mhz
NVIDIA GeForce 310M, up to 512MB

For the third week I have been using MintLinux 19.1 Cinomone x64, and everything is fine, but Photoshop is not enough, and it even works faster than on Windows.
Tell me what is the best to install on this laptop windwos 10, windows 7, windows 8.1

Answer 1

Put on a seven.

Answer 2

Windows 7.
You can also use Windows 10 ltsc.
In any case, be sure to change the regular HDD to SSD if you want comfortable work.
And if you add a memory bar to 4, so that there is a total of 8, it will generally fly.
On this model, normal access to memory and disk, without disassembling the case.

Answer 3

Wow old - I have celeron and 1gb. Install win7 or linux mint

Answer 4

And it even works faster than on Windows.

But this is unlikely.
One of the most consuming applications is modern browsers.
And they are the same, both on Linux and on Windows (Chrome, Firefox).
How much the version of Windows 7/8/10 does not significantly affect (and by the way, a dozen is faster).
But there may be problems with the drivers.
It is best to turn the laptop over and read on the sticker what kind of native Windows was there, and install it.
Or Windows 10

Answer 5

Install Windows 7 professional. Change hdd to ssd and you will be happy.

Answer 6

Processor: Intel Core i3-330M
Frequency, GHz: 2.13

Quite a decent percentage that supports multithreading. In current laptops, it costs almost the same (if there is a difference, it's not in performance, but only in power efficiency).
Add memory, and you can install any Windu.
