There doesn't seem to be any operating system installed on it, hence it telling you to insert boot media/device, you need to create a bootable installation media and insert it to install it
E.g. burning the Windows ISO to a USB drive and inserting it

Thank you very much!

Btw what windows sistem should I use for this thing?
fair needle
You mean what Windows version?
dreamy oar
Yes
fair needle
Well I'd need specs of said laptop, otherwise I'd just be making guesses
dreamy oar
It a tntel atom n2600 1.60ghz with 1024mb memory and ddr3
austere coyote
Yeah, that won't run any supported version of Windows
dreamy oar
What about an older version?
austere coyote
Not worth it I'd say
But
What it will run and with minimal hassle
Is Linux Mint
dreamy oar
Where can I get it?
austere coyote
Where can I get it?
And it should be good enough to even run the Cinnamon Edition
fair needle
What Combi said, however if you need Windows on that system, the latest version it'll be able to run is Windows 7
And that's for its 32-bit version, 64-bit requires 2 GB of RAM
dreamy oar
Huh I know it a drr3 but idk the amount of ram so I probably will try the Linux system
fair needle
Also 1 GB of RAM isn't gonna be sufficient to run Linux Mint properly either, that amount of RAM is painfully low for anything nowadays
dreamy oar
So I have to check the ram first?
fair needle
Did you not check it already?
dreamy oar
I just open the case and see it a drr3 didn't bother to look further....
austere coyote
Did you not check it already?
It has 1024MB @ 800 MHz, clearly present on the BIOS screenshot
dreamy oar
Oh I thought that the hardisk
fair needle
Yeah I saw that, confused by what they meant
austere coyote
I just open the case and see it a drr3 didn't bother to look further....
Was there just a single RAM stick?
dreamy oar
Yup it just a single drr3
austere coyote
Was there also an empty RAM slot?
dreamy oar
Oh
austere coyote
I can not believe my eyes
austere coyote
It's only got one slot (that's fine)
But
Maximum supported memory though is 2__.44__ GB
dreamy oar
So nope then...
austere coyote
internal screaming
dreamy oar
Granted it laptop form 2012
austere coyote
I was hoping it'd support like 8
If that was the case, you could've simply grabbed some old DDR3, upgraded the RAM and had an extremely good experience
austere coyote
Granted it laptop form 2012
My 2009 netbook has more RAM
That's how baffling this is
dreamy oar
It a netbook from Malaysia so...
But it is make in usa
So do you think I can do anything with this or I should just give up
austere coyote
So do you think I can do anything with this or I should just give up
The Linux Mint idea should work either way
It's just that there might be hiccups when multitasking
austere coyote
No problemo
