hi from my 2008 Dell laptop which has Windows 7 (I thought it had a Linux install tbh) I'll probably dual boot Linux and Windows, I also need to find another stick of RAM (it uses DDR3 which would normally be nice, but currently DDR2 would actually be more convenient rn), I'll see if I can actually get Minecraft 1.17+ to make sure I am not going crazy about it actually being able to run it. Also it still uses a hard drive because it doesn't use the standard SATA, it uses micro SATA or mini SATA or whatever it is called (it is like the normal SATA port but even smaller)
