It's super old processor and running Windows on this thing is nightmare, but if you are familiar with GNU/Linux systems like Linux lite, Zorin OS, Linux mint, XFCE Manjaro, you are absolutly fine using this CPU

Bought a desktop with this on it, mostly dislike it because of the integrated GPU. Makes it a lot more expensive to upgrade.
