[QUOTE="ksud, post: 2520161, member: 100269"] I see your point. The PC will be relegated to basic task so I'm not concerned about debugging the OS. It'll be used for MS Office, PDF viewing & browsing. If issues arises I can install a fresh copy without needing to backup anything local (office use) Having a stripped down version has many benefits for ageing hardware. I'm mostly interested in de-bloating the OS of unnecessary stuff that will result in less system resources being used. I've been using Tiny10 on our first laptop (3rd gen i5 U series processor) and it fairs much better than the stock windows OS. But TBH that's a laptop with soldered-on ram which sees very less usage and not entirely sure if it would give the same performance increase on a desktop (i5-6500T) where you can upgrade components. As for vulnerabilities, the PC will not have no sensitive data stored on it. But yeah, it will be connected to the internet so there's a risk always. [/QUOTE]
