Very very old components , that thing is a dinosaur by todays standards and will run windows 7 very very slowly , better off scrapping that machine and buying something more modern. Upgrading would be a waste of money imo

You can buy Core 2 Duo PC's for €50 these days and they would run Win7 perfectly.
