Win 7 and better yet Linux Antix-15
Actually Win 10 Pro 64 bit is running fine on 2 GB of ram for me.

The API's they use to create semi-transparent menus causes a noticeable lag. From Windows95 to Windows10 certain GDI objects in explorer.exe to this very day... still have memory leaks. It doesn't matter how much ram you have because the GUI alone will rape your graphics cards. This is the sort of thing that made Vista unusable. Switch to Windows7 or 8 to the classic theme and you'll notice right away how much speed you've gained (especially when compared to Vista or Windows10.)
Actually Win 10 Pro 64 bit is running fine on 2 GB of ram for me.
Enjoy having backdoored software (Edge won't let you alter security settings correctly) Apps phone home with every keystroke (supposedly to help the developers of spell-checking). Oh and there is adware in your start menu (that tiled menu nobody clicks on).

Some of these tracking tools are coming to Windows 7 and 8 too.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/29782...acy-storm.html
Some more
http://www.infoworld.com/article/297...microsoft.html
this is the list of updates for Win 7 and 8 that I have that are related to the upgrade and the telemetry data that MS wants to collect.
kb:3068708
kb:3044374
kb:3035583
kb:3022345
kb:3021917
kb:2990214
kb:2952664
kb:3080149
kb:3075249
If anyone wants to uninstall all of these then the command prompt to do so is..
wusa /uninstall /kb:3068708 /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:3044374 /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:3035583 /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:3022345 /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:3021917 /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:2990214 /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:2952664 /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:3080149 /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:3075249 /norestart
Or you can do it manually in Windows updates.
kb:3035583 is the specific update that puts the Windows 10 nagware icon in your systray.
Do not forget to set updates off of Auto an block these silly things or the will just reinstall.
