I recently done a full install of Linux Mint on an old Lenovo Laptop, even with a new RAM Stick, taking it to 14GB of RAM it was still very sluggish running Windows. There was so much Windows and Lenovo bloatware it was wild. Ever since I installed Linux Mint the laptop has worked a dream - It's like a whole new machine.
I just did this with a 2010 MacBook Pro (only 8gb of ram) and I canβt tell you how happy I am about it.
I did this same thing with a sony viao I had and Elementary. It was running into some serious performance issues running win 7 back when the OS was sunsetting for win 8. Brought it back to life and was able to use the thing for another 3 years until I was able to upgrade to a new laptop. Probably could have used it for many more years too.
Typically, one of the first things I do to a new laptop is wipe it and install the OS from scratch. That lets me install system drivers ONLY, and avoid all the bloatware that isn't included on the OS install image (and even then I can remove a lot of it with Tiny11). Laptops are some of the worst offenders when it comes to bloat.`
That said, I'm strongly considering bailing on Windows entirely...
