      Vista is so old but I assume that Chocolatey will still run there.

          Gateway box for what? Really seems like a headless linux OS would work for that.

            Win 10 should be lighter, not heavier than Vista.

            Any reason not to use Linux here?

            This is my In-Laws computer. No way they are open to Linux. I am considering dual boot for my use.. but will need to edit the boot config so Windows loads first.

              Well - crap. Guess it's back to Ninite for this box.

                  What are they doing? Probably web browsing at most. Just install Deepin, it's really sleak.

                    Don't ask, just do. They are likely the perfect candidates for it.

                      Exactly what I was thinking.

                        Or Fedora + Cinnamon. it looks all but the same.. just pin things to the taskbar and desktop.

                          Seriously toss it, buy them a Chromebook and move on. You've already wasted to much time on this 8+ year old computer.

                            It's hard to beat a Chromebook/Chromebox
