Title: Hi! A newbie from the Philippines here
Post by: pandaeyedcat on September 17, 2018, 04:20:29 AM

I'm using a very old laptop with a not so good specs and I've decided to switch from Windows 7 to Linux Lite to maximize it. I'm a complete noob, don't know any codes whatsoever but I would like to learn.
How do I install Linux Lite using a virtual machine? I've been watching videos on YouTube but all of them already have a VM which confuses me if I have to download a VM or it is automatic if I click the install for Linux Lite link.
And what should I put in it?

My laptop specs:

laptop specs Acer Aspire 4730z

• processor Intel (R) Pentium (R) Dual CPU T3400 @ 2.16 GHz 2.17 GHz
  
  RAM 3.00 Gb
  
  System type 64-bit OS
  
  local disk 79.4
  
  yeah my laptop sucks, but it's working so I deal with it  ;)

Welcome. Unfortunately, your cpu does not have the ability to run VM's.

But I can still install it using the traditional way?
