It's quite outdated. I'm a teenager, so I stumbled upon this setup. It was my parents' old method, so I chose to improve it.
Windows 10 isn't compatible with your setup. The processor lacks the required features for the operating system. For smoother Windows 7 performance, you'll need a GPU with at least 256MB of dedicated RAM (128MB works if your display is 1024x768, and keep window count low). It should also support DirectX 9 with strong performance, pixel shade 2.0, and a GeForce FX 5900 or newer. You'll also want maximum performance from your hardware, ideally a Nvidia nForce chipset motherboard paired with that CPU. Honestly, I’d consider a Linux-based system instead.
You're asking about what works best for someone your age. If you're looking for quick fixes and support, Linux isn't always the best choice—especially Windows, where help is usually available online. For your setup, I wouldn't suggest Windows 7 or newer versions because they often don't run smoothly and can be slower. Upgrading RAM isn't necessary since your hardware is already outdated. Could you tell me what OS you're currently using?
