Laptop] [operating system] Which operating system for an old laptop?

I still have an old laptop and I don't know exactly how old it is.
Anyway, Windows 7 is already at the limit and does not run very well.

I need an operating system that consumes very little power and with which I only have to go to the browser to check e-mails.

I really don't need more.

The browser shouldn't snag forever or anything, but otherwise only that.

Thought of Linux Deepin, is it a good choice?

Or is there still an operating system that draws very little power?

The laptop can only boot from CD / DVD.

So I would recommend Windows 7 maybe you just have too much on your laptop and should reset it if I would recommend windows xp in your place

Jo

Okay thank you very much, even if the operating system is completely new, it is also that Windows 7 takes too much power.

Et

Every Linux distribution as xfce variant runs fine on old computers.

I even run Linux Mint Cinnamon 18 on my old one with 1.8 Gb and everything works just fine

I think Linux is a good choice. If you go online, you should also think about an antivirus.

Windows 7 is no longer a good choice due to the expiring service.

Jo

Okay, what do you mean by xfce variant?

Et

I recommend you to watch "Linux-Guide" on youtube. He introduces Linux systems and explains everything super.

I can't do that very good.

I made an old LT Win 10 on it.

Is also significantly smaller than Win 7. Impeccable.

And if you have never had anything to do with Linux

ch

GNU / Linux is certainly a good choice.

I would test Lubuntu, depending on how it works you can see if you have to go further down.

Unlike Windows offers

Linux different interfaces (Windows Manager).

One of them is xfce.

Didn't you get along with it? Or was that really what the fun meant?

Be

I don't need another religious community.

If Linux were good, it would be more common.

Has been in the world long enough.

In other words, you don't know it.

Be

If the installation becomes as easy as with Windows, I might try again.

mo

Unfortunately, it won't be that easy.

Windows takes no account of existing operating systems, it flattens out.

Most users want to get Windows for now. You have to be careful with the Linux installation. The reports that Linux is not user-friendly are then from those who can't read.

First of all, take a live system.

In the end, everything is the same as before, unless you have learned something.

I have disposed of Windows 2000.

Games are different, but I'm out of age.

Windows XP as a recommendation? This is grossly negligent.

This has not had security updates or new features for years. Programs no longer run because they need a newer architecture or API. Windows 7 is also outdated and dangerous.

A Linux will do it, I can recommend Lubuntu in the case: lubuntu.me. The interface looks similar to Windows, there are regular updates and requires little memory. Otherwise run new PC. Unfortunately, from time to time.
