I have recently (April 2019) upgraded a hardly-used Mini 9 that just needed a charger. It had the original 16GB PATA SSD , 1GB DDR2 RAM, Windows XP. I upgraded to 2GB RAM with which it loaded and ran W10 Home Ver 1511, and then upgraded through to 1803. Then it ran out of disk space on the last upgrade but I was able to get it to load and run 1809 with the aid of a USB to 2.5” SATA adapter and a 256GB HDD system disk salvaged from an ASUS EEE-PC 1015PX (32 bit W10 V 1809). W10 works OK but is UNUSABLY slow. On the other hand, the Mini 9 runs Ubuntu Mate 16.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS just fine, though it can only handle video at about 240p before it turns into a slideshow. Look at Geekbench 4 Browser results for “Inspiron 910 Atom N270” - the Atom N270 in the Minis is the lowest scorer n my personal collection of devices that run W10. Hope that helps.
