Quoting Removed, click Modern View to seeWindows 7 replaced Vista in 2009. That means your laptop is at least 4 years old and may be having a hardware problem or something has corrupted the OS on the hard drive.

The most popular Linux distribution, according to Distrowatch, is Linux Mint . It's based on Ubuntu with extra software included. I recommend you try the "Live" DVD to see if it's your laptop is compatible.
