#Install linux on usb acer aspire e3 32 bit
It is light and should run well on a 32 bit system. Now that I have given you some choices to bewilder you, I'll leave you to think about them a bit, and do let us know what you want to do about the multiple sites entries, if that is you. You laptop is likely 32-bit architecture, which we can verify if you do not know, and so you would have to download a 32-bit Linux and we can help with that. Given the optical drive is DVD-ROM, it could only be used for the install, if you have another computer you could use to "burn" a "Live" Linux to, then transfer it and install, or you could purchase a DVD with a Live Linux Distribution on it from somewhere such as which a lot of people apparently use.īut the two (2) USB ports look your best option, as a USB stick of course can be reused. Given you say you stopped using it a few years ago, that may not present a problem, and you might choose to blow away Windows as part of the Linux install, and dedicate the entire drive to Linux, or even, ultimately, a number of Linuxes, should you so choose. If you wish to dualboot Linux with Windows, that is one avenue, and we would advise you to have any personal data on the Windows backed up, and a recovery solution in place (eg recovery disk), should something go pear-shaped and Windows heads south for the winter. So perhaps let us know which way you want to go.Ĭertainly the addition of the RAM, and the larger HDD is a big bonus for you with Linux, and it boosts your chances of running it successfully, but it also expands the (sometimes bewildering) range of choices available to you.
You'll understand it is difficult for us to advise accurately and consistently when you might be getting differing advice from elsewhere, I am sure you can see that. If that is you, then you may want to focus your questions on one site or another, and perhaps let "the other" know to cancel? I'll repeat that link for the benefit of The Viewers. That link friend has provided looks quite useful, albeit has a lot of old content, I might bookmark that, thanks Angel, that 1st comment or question, there, in Discussion appears to be you, is that so?
