Hi, I have an old HP Notebook - 14-an018au, which has 4gb ddr3 ram and runs windows 10 on a 10 ish year old 1tb harddrive. This is a secondary computer, but it has a lot of old files from when I was like 13 years old that I want to backup, but I also have like 300gb of space taken up on the harddrive. So things like my chrome history, app settings, and unique files I would want to keep, but the large apps themselves I don’t want to keep. Also this computer is impossible to work on with its current operating system, so something which is a quick solution please.

And also, what distributions would you recommend that would a) work on this old computer and b) might be kind of fun to mess around with, as a secondary device

Anyway thanks

    Puppy Linux is fun and cute but nothing really ever worked for me the way a normal districts works. But I haven’t spent much time on it.
