can I upgrade from windowsxp to vista or can I leap to win 7? I have a compaq presario 3000 that came with windows xp. will the machine accept the upgrade?
Looking at the specs, I would say no. You might be able to install a lightweight version of Linux but I think Vista/Win7 or beyond is out.
Given the specs that riider found (and assuming you've maxed-out the RAM), it might be possible---but you'd have very little fun running any version of Windows that "just barely" meets Microsoft's minimum requirements: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...

Will I be able to use the programs I already use when I install linux
