It's an option but... old gear tends to die.
And, well, current prices on low end Windows gear is really, really low.

For example, the last few weeks have seen the HP Stream11 hit a low of $120 and the Stream 13 $179.

There are $150 stick PCs that turn a Monitor or a TV into an All-in-one. Add a cheap wireless keyboard and mouse and you can have an "invisible" PC.

There is a lot of action coming to low-end PCs these next few months and a lot of it is because of Win10's ability to run very well on Low End hardware.

Like this stuff:

For us, Win10 is about the upgrades and the cloud.
But there's a whole other story behind Win10 beyond the upgrades.
