i still strongly suggest you consider getting a new system.
just keep checking craigslist or your local buy and sell and find yourself a good deal.
something like this https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/sys/5989089550.html
it'll be much more quicker in loading and multitasking.

i just think using an old computer is just impractical. but if you're just checking emails etc.. you're a lot better off using your phone to be honest =)

u need a new computer
go on craigslist and buy a used one for 200 bux

honestly no point in putting time on ur system.

but if u really want to.
you will need to format the usb into FAT32 and put a copy of the bios in.
restart. hold del and manually boot or change primary drive to boot usb
make sure u have room and everything is compatible.
when ever u mess around with bios' you're risking the whole set up.
