[QUOTE="JuanMena, post: 10332856, member: 513856"] Exactly what are the risks of using an old laptop for internet browsing? I can't seem to find proper information other than "huuur it will infect with virus"... but ain't that the risks of any computer capable of Internet browsing? Having this question because I'm trying to update and download stuff in a WinXP lap, and I'm tired of connecting and disconnecting my USB from my Win10 lap to the old one back and forth everytime I need to transfer files. And I was wondering if I can just simply connect the old laptop to Wi-Fi and just download what I need. Is it as risky as "once you load Google you're fucked" or as risky as common sense is? That is, don't download pirate software, don't browse sketchy sites, etc. EDIT: Also, would like to use the old laptop to download and save and view PDF files. [/QUOTE]
