Howard, as Alistair says 8Gb RAM is a good start. I did the upgrade to Win10 because my X301 ran quite good with the Win7 64bit version during the last years. It is not capable to run games but it is very good to give a .ppt presentation or things like that.
Next step is to have a more modern mSATA HDD with larger storage volume - to keep the price low by using an adapter.
