dbinott Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) I just procured an older NUC 1.7ghz that I want to use with LB/BB. In came with windows 7. Wondering if it's worth it or not to go to windows 10? I know EOL for win7 is coming up, if not passed already. But if I can get better performance with win7 when using BB, I will keep it.

DOS76 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 How much RAM does it have? I'm not going to lie I think BigBox is to heavy for your CPU but you can try it I just don't expect it to be very performant. I don't think the OS is even going to play into it but I'd go 10 due to EOL coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbinott Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 4gb, but can up it. crap, I hope not. Thought it would be better than an atom z8350 at least. I needed something that small, and not too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crush Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Win 10 are a resource hog! Avoid them since your specs are low. For as long as LB supports Win7 you can use it. Later you can upgrade to Win10 if there's no other option. If a Linux version of LB ever comes out you can ditch Win entirely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I have Win 10 on a similar Nuc and works just fine with low specs. Never used BigBox on that Nuc, but I would agree with Dos. With that little ram BigBox might hog it all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbinott Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Ram is an easy upgrade if that is the only road block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
