I bought a refurbished pc with Win 10 upgrade and it worked fine til an update broke the video driver. I was unable to find the correct driver because Dell said it was unsupported because they did not sell the configuration I had, and the refurb seller said “ alll sales are as-is” and it was past the warranty period. Just one example of what can happen.

I got to say if you want to use this, just load a 32 bit Ubuntu Desktop and you have a chrome based web browser and all the tools to do any sort of work with either of the openoffice clones. If you need something windows run it in a virtual box cut off from the internet.

You are getting to the point you would have better support with a raspberry pi than worring about the next patch tuesday nuking the system. Stop pushing trash forward.

Was the video totally dead?

That’s what happened on my old Win 10 pro HP laptop. :-(
