What is flat on the laptop and ready for use again / to make everything operational?

I'm a layman in terms of technology, ie PC, laptop, TV, etc. And despite everything try my laptop (which I use on the balcony) of HP with a 32-bit operating system → Windows Vista, as they say flatten and but then again functional, because the Windows Vista program can't be updated / there are-updates no more, that is he is susceptible viruses… There are always error messages, he hangs in between, is very slow. So there are a lot of reasons.

My question is what to pay attention to? Are there certain requirements if my Lappy if he should run correctly again. By that I mean, among other things, to be able to receive internet via WLAN without any problems?

Is handling the same as with SMARTPHONES or tablets?

Must d. Laptop only to be reset to factory settings? Probably, but I guess I have to uninstall Windows Vista and since, most likely, all that is important to save, right? What is there for storage options?

Then you need very well. A new operating system? And what suitable is there as a free Doawn… For my HP Model… And is well transparent for people who are not very well versed but still fully protected?

What else needs to be installed besides the operating system? Antivirus? Which downloads are suitable, good and free?

If I want to make the laptop internet-capable via WLAN, which network is best for that? The private or the one for a job? In my household, there are more than 5, but under 10 Android-used devices.

Do I have to encrypt the network connection on my laptop, eg with VPN? I have this question because we can log into 3 networks at home. 1st Network is over the speed haven of the Telekom. The 2nd network is via our WLAN amplifier (which is in the socket) and the 3rd network, where you can log on via our Speedport (the 1st network) via the network Telekom-Fon via WlanToGo.

Phew, think that's it first

Oh, but something else. When I'm surfing on the balcony in I-Net, I'm constantly flying out of my network. But on my smartphone exactly like that. Then I get on my Lappy in between the message "network error". Another computer on the network would have the same IP address as my Lappy. You should contact the network administrator. Why is this problem?

Well, unfortunately I do not know any technical data about the device and I can't recommend what is the best option for you…

at 32bit and Windows Vista, but I go from a maximum of 4gb Ram… 2gb are of course synonymous conceivable… I just hope now that at least one 2Kern CPU is installed (preferably from Intel)

to the question with the Platt make -> yes there are all information which are on the hard drive Deleted and private images, etc. Should be externally secured before… Thus, the device is no longer usable and an operating system must be reinstalled from an external source

In this case, I recommend Windows 10Home or Pro 32bit provided the technical specifications that I initially speculated have:-)

The Windows can be directly loaded by means of a program from Microsoft and bring to a minimum 8gb USB stick with which you can then perform the installation.

a subsequent activation is cheap with a Windows 7 key possible which there are for a few euro on Ebay (attention key and Windows version must match (so a HomeKey for the installed HomeVersion)) a VistaKey does not work (at least it was not with me at one Attempt)

but what I can recommend before reinstalling is to swap the hard drive as these are real brake pads and to replace a cheap SSD

in Windows 10, no further four-scanner is needed and normally all drivers come on the updates and man has to worry about anything else… Promise you can't but → it is also conceivable that the network driver or wlantreiber must be installed by hand… This finds usually on the manufacturer's side of the notebook

You do not need vpn as long as you have nothing bad in mind or in a public network, but your Wi-Fi should be encrypted on the setting in the router and password protected (which is the case by default) → I suspect the devices sign up with cheerfully the one and other with the other router oä… Probably this is Mesh of Fritz is not a very cheap solution - further on the Netwekthema I would not now, as it would go beyond the scope.

Thanks, could have asked more…
