I have an Adata 32GB USB 3.1 flash drive which is labeled ESD-USB in File Explorer. Looking at it, I figure it's bootable and able to install a version of Windows. I figure it's either Win7 or Win10. How do I find out which?

Volume in drive F is ESD-USB
Volume Serial Number is FC24-C24E

It's a pain now with just 32GB storage for Win10 installation.

Wipe it and install a Linux distro (I like Linux Mint / LMDE 5)

or install a compact Win10 (e.g. Ghost Spectre ) and only install what you need.

I've never used a Linux distro because I use some software that won't run on it. Now, a compact Win10 might be a good idea! Anyway, the machines I use daily have 1TB and secondary SSDs too and 32GB RAM. Things aren't always smooth, no, but lots of RAM at least makes browsing snappy, seemingly no matter how many tabs I have open.
