Funnily enough yesterday I installed MINT v18 on an old Dell Laptop that showed a Vista install as a clue to its age.. It had been running W7 and I was surprised that the install of Linux did not noticeably speed it up. It works well enough r browsing and photos etc.
The only problem on install was that it did not immediately load drivers for the integrated Broadcom wifi. (It did not flag this , so took a little digging). This however was easily solved by connecting an ethernet cable and going on line wired to download the necessary updates.
