Hi everyone,
So I bought a hp stream 11 a 8 months ago and it came with windows 8.1 which I hated so I was able to do an upgrade for windows 10 ,the computer was working fine but after installing all the software I need it : office,antivirus and few other applications, the computer became slow and every time I have multiple tabs on chrome or firefox it becomes slower due to its low memory.so i really just wanted this netbook for low level office and internet (movies , facebook , basic stuff) and now because of what I just said doesn't even work for that smoothly.
so I was checking out ubuntu as a possible alternative, dont know if its going to make it faster , ( at least no viruses ) I'm not an expert on linux so I have a few questions:
1.is it possible to install linux in this kind of netbook?
2.how do I get the drivers for this pc for ubuntu ?
3.how do I go about re-formating and clean installing Linux,if someone could give me a breakdown of the steps would be nice but pointing me to the right direction will do.
CPU 2.85-GHz Intel Celeron N2840
Thank you very much in advance,
SPECS:
Operating System Windows 10
RAM 2GB RAM
Hard Drive Size 32GB
MEMORY CARD SLOT/USB
