Re: pops just bought an old ass laptop, i want to help
First thing I thought was install Linux. With Ubuntu the OS is pretty streamlined and only installs extra stuff if and when you want it. In other words, you wouldn't really need to go and disable anything that is nonessential because for the basic installation it is pretty much strictly the essential components. Ubuntu tends to have its own viral protection, but outside of Windows this isn't such a big deal anyhow.
But yeah, screw Windows on that machine, hook up Ubuntu!
