Right now it has Win7, but Linux will live on it soon. The Linux Mint/Linux Lite/Zorin USB bootable thumb drives I have run well with it. Been pretty lucky finding laptops in pawn shops for cheap.Wish I had a few pawn shops close. I have to drive to Toledo (35 miles) to find one. I bought my first IBM-PC compatible, a Tandy 1000EX, at a pawn shop in North Carolina around 1990. I still have it and it still runs great. Upgraded the CPU to an NEC V20 about 20 years ago and added one of these a few years back:

I have a 4GB CF card in mine. A 4GB hard drive in a 1986 Tandy 1000EX, LOL. I think I have every piece of software ever made for the 1000EX from 1986 to 1994 on the drive and still have over half the space available.
