Thank you Dazed,
I plan to wipe off windows and make it a Linux only laptop.
I plan to use it for email and to store images.
I will ask the question again and send more information on the laptop.

That's about all anyone could say since you have provided no details
about your machine or what you want to do with it (dual boot vs wipe
Windows and replace with Linux vs other options).
As far as what distro to choose, that is as much up to your
preferences as anything. We could offer our opinions but they would
be based on our differing opinions rather than your needs and desires.
If you would like to discuss some options, you are welcome to come to
Stammtische (Tuesday 7pm), Ubuntu Hour (Thursday 7pm), or an Installfest
(Saturday 6/1 10-4pm). And there are other events where you could
talk with us.
Stammtische @ Iguana Macks 1371 N. Alma School Rd, Chandler, AZ 85224
Ubuntu Hour @ Extreme Bean SW corner area of McClintock & Southern
Installfest @ UAT (University of Advancing Technology) 2625 W.
Baseline Road Tempe, AZ 85283 (Between 48th & Fry's)

Does anyone know, how I can tell if this will work or not.
Thanks
