![]() Ran it off the USB stick and had my daughter see if she could see her work at school and. I downloaded the 32-bit version of CloudReady and it copied itself to the USB stick. Sounds like CloudReady would just the thing then. ![]() (Schools around here have students do their homework on Google Classroom.) If that works, my daughter can use that computer for her homework. If you're set on Win 10 though, give it a shot and let us know how it goes.īut I think I might try out this Neverware that rb0321 mentioned on that old HP Netbook. A friend was supposed to line up a couple folks that could use them but I haven't heard from him so I may just donate them to make room for something new. They are very usable for email, surfing, and all the other Google stuff. After install everything worked perfectly 'out of the gate' and after a couple updates both continue to run smoothly. It basically made the 2007 into a Chromebox clone (Chromium) and the 2009 laptop into a Chromebook clone. What I recently found instead of Linux is Neverware's CloudReady download: Ended up installing Mint the via ethernet port, then did a simple download/install of the WiFi driver with the Terminal. Had a problem installing every distro I tried since it has a Broadcomm WiFi chip. ![]() Linux works fine on the 2009 (Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz, 8GB RAM). I was able to load a light Linux distro (Mint Xfce) on my 2007 but it was slow and buggy, which often required rebooting, so it sat in a corner for awhile. You might be able to get Win 10 to work on your old MacBook but it's pretty much guaranteed to be very slow and extremely frustrating to use. Have a 2009 MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo too, that is also no longer supported by Apple. Have read some were able to upgrade theirs to 4GB (2 x 2GB) but it's not worth it (for me) at this point. Have some old Mac stuff here too, a 2007 iMac with similar specs, although it has a whopping 2GB (2 x 1GB) RAM and runs at a blistering 2.0 GHz.
