Here are Celeron J1800 running W7 + WD + WXSIM just fine. WXSIM runs in ca 2 minutes for 5 days. Powerusage ca 9 watt with 4G RAM and 64 GB SSD. 
I have a 320GB HDD in mine (which was what I was using in the laptop). It currently uses about 40GB for the C drive which has the WD program directory on it, and about 110GB on the D drive which houses maily several years worth of WD log files and all my WXSim stuff again for quite a few years.

I’ve been running a Shuttle XS36V4 for a couple years now with good results. I have a 250 GB SSD along with 8 GB of ram. Running WD, WxSim and several temp monitor programs (home automation type) with W7 Pro and the CPU barely breaks a sweat. Also very low power running 10 - 12 watts max with a JJ1900. Actually some of the newer Shuttles look very promising also.

Nice to see you getting the weather station going. Good luck.

The SSD in my tiny Chinese one gave up the ghost a couple of months ago (after 3 years). Have put in 128 GB one now after a struggle to find one that would fit (it’s a bare PCB about 5 x 3 cm). I feel more relaxed now it has the extra free space.
Do you remember when Bill Gates said 640 kb of RAM and 5 MB of HDD was enough for any PC?
I know he said it but it was before my time with my 1st PC, i was on Windows 95 so i just missed the dos years
although dos 7 i think it was was still accessible, i think we were talking low ram then though, about 1mb or sommat daft
like that lol
There’s no definitive proof that Bill Gates ever said that 640k was enough.

Just looked it up and it says Bill denies ever saying it, but then i wouldnt admit to that either lol :lol:
Win 10 tablet,
They only have 1gb ram, they would strain for sure, minium tablet would have to be one of these
That’s unfortunate. The Intel SSD in my Atom WD PC has been running 24x7 for 5 years now, it tells me it has 90% life left 
The Intel has a maintenance function that is scheduled to run each night. I have a couple of Samsung SSD’s too but how they handle their housekeeping is mystery :?
Wow, thats about 80% more than you :tongue3: :lol: :lol:
PS, whilst going through the smilies i noticed this one, is, perhaps appropriate for this day an age or perhaps a tad sore 8O :forcefeed:
Back on topic, i have a fairly fast machine here and windows has spent the last hour updating with 25% to go
Perhaps Linux for ya machine Chris 
Oh, don’t tempt me Bashy [-X
:salute: :cya: couldnt find a quick exit one lol :lol: :lol:
An hour and 15 minutes to install rubbish, namely, speech recognition, English typing (thats for you guys over the pond i beleive :x ) also 358mb of Englush (US) Retail Demo Content WTF?? more speech and handwriting stuff, about a gig’s worth so far and its still installing stuff even though its completed lol Why, just, why…
Seriosly Chris, stick with XP 
Nope, W7 
Spose, i never had a problem with either 
Win 7 only has about 3 years to go before end of life so not good to be getting into now. No way I’m going Win 8 and Linux is barely OK if you only need to run Linux software. It’s good for servers but I find it difficult on the desktop (and I have a few Linux ‘desktop’ systems that I have to use from time to time so that opinion is based on experience and not prejudice).
It was mostly tongue in cheek be seriously, these updates that you dont really have a lot of control over in Win 10
can be a major rectal hurter (oo thats not a word lol) spent an hour updating/adding updates for cortana speech
and language etc, i dont use her, i am perfectly happy with Hi Galaxy
Exactly! So much crap that’s of no use on a wx pc (or any other pc that I own), and in later versions they seem to have blocked the tricks that could shut most of it down 
I’m still running XP for WD cause win7 wont load cause of the video card I have. Microsoft is in cahoots with NVidia.
