Two for the price of zero

More freebies,2 xp era laptops being dumped by a school,neither had hard drives,512 mb of ram ,also got one original charger with them, decided to get one of them to a reasonable functioning state,got a 2 gig ram kit on Amazon for a few Euros, a 2. 5 inch ide hard drive from an online lap dismantled,and a hard drive caddy on eBay, just a little rant here,please folks if your giving your laptop away I can understand taking out the hard drive but please leave the hard drive caddy with it ,had the devil of a job getting one for this. Anyway it runs windows 7 surprisingly well,and Linux mint also ,no HD video playback though,tried windows 10 on it ,it did activate ,but only with a third party network adaptor,but it was not a pleasant experience ,driver issues all over the place.
