I'm trying to connect my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone to my MicroXP Laptop (an Acer Aspire 3680). I only need to be able to do 2 things: Transfer files (not just images) from S3 to Laptop, and (if possible) get USB Tethering working.

Any ideas? (If you need more information, I will provide it if at all possible ._. )

Plug it in..? And don't use XP, maybe.

a) It was connected
b) This hardware is so crappy, I need something as lightweight as MicroXP for it to be usable. Also, its main purpose is for playing old games (*cough*SPORE*cough*), so...Windows 10 would kinda defeat the purpose (too new), as would Longhorn (too...uh...WTFish?) :P

Linux, maybe?

WINE supposedly runs older Windows games very well, even better than Windows in some cases.

This hardware falls way below the game's requirements, so it's a miracle it'll run at all. Also, I can't use a different OS, unless said OS supports the Microsoft .NET framework (and Java), which are needed for the modding tools (without which there's no point).

I need to connect my phone to this laptop because the laptop's wireless network adapters and screen are shot, and I can't get an ethernet cable all the way to my TV, so I need a way to use USB tethering (if that'd even work) or (atleast) transfer files between the devices.
