Bogdan, That is a very interesting piece of hardware at $200. Does that quad-core Celeron have enough power to handle Windows 10 with reasonable response? I used to volunteer at refurbishing donated computers for resale to low-income users. When Microsoft's refurbishing program stopped supporting Windows 7, we immediately stopped installing Windows on anything lower than an i3. Quality machines with less than that processor got Linux. Those machines were free to users. Larry
