Atlantia,
We don't need to give up quite yet , and that laptop has a reasonable spec (i3, 4gb) especially for running anything Linux.
Do you need anything from Windows?
* Steve57 raises some important points about updates, and you need to consider that you're well out of MS support now.
* Did you plug your laptop into your network, and did work being hardwired?
BUT... if you are anticipating hardware faults then now would be good time to ensure you have a backup of anything you want
Regards Linux -...
