i love when small tech KZbinrs make better content than most famous channels without cluttering the viewing experience and making it straightforward, also new sub!!

@@innerdiscarchive oh my gosh, thank you so much. I really appreciate that.

[@lukedavis436]

Definitely enjoying this series, keep it up!

[@Mat.the.femboy]

great quality content, keep up the good work my guy

[@RandomCsDude]

First time seeing your vids, top notch content man!! Keep it up :) By the way i think you should install a different OS in that netbook.

[@The_Dogealorian]

Great video man, I support the grind 💯. Keep it up, you gained a new sub

Thankyou for the support, I really appreciate you subscribing!

So to answer the question about the Vista startup, it's the fallback loading screen and is technically faster, since Starter edition is designed for extremely slow hardware it saves off a couple seconds of boot time and a few MB's off the install. On a normal copy of Windows 7 you can actually enable it yourself.

[@RBVJnt]

Starter does container the normal boot screen. The Vista boot screen appears when the screen is too small for the normal loading animation to fit.

[@innerdiscarchive]

and the fact that Starter edition has a limit of 2GB RAM and x86 only

[@TechSimplified910]

I see yes I understand

[@faqih10c]

The Vista startup screen appears when the screen resolution is below 1024x768, and this netbook only has 1024x600, for some reason it also appears on windows 8 and above if the graphics card is acting weird or too old that only shows low color depth

[@imKanda]

the best buy sticker means that it was brought into best buy before, AP puts that sticker so they know it was brought in from outside and not stolen. usually cause they're taking it to geek squad. kind of funny they left the sticker on for that long

[@TechSimplified910]

That’s pretty interesting about the sticker, I didn’t know that.

[@tessytocaliente]

New sub! i like those kind of videos and youre making a good work right here! wish the best for this channel man :D

[@TechSimplified910]

Thankyou I appreciate you subscribing!

[@josephjoshi435]

Still better than windows 11

[@TechSimplified910]

Yes indeed, way better then windows 11

[@Randi_MyMan]

a few things you should change in your intro to make it less confusing for new viewers: 1. remove audio from videos in intro 2. make the music a bit louder. 3. edit it a lil better 4. just make it better in general

[@TechSimplified910]

I appreciate that Thankyou, yea I am not a fan of it either, I need to adjust it a bit Thankyou for letting me know

[@tofuchaeng06]

I also have one, but mine is Atom N475 variant. I upgraded it to 2GB RAM and running Windows 10 1511 x64 (it can't go past Windows 10 1809 when on HDD, it will go bad, and can't go past Windows 11 24H2 due to SSE4.2 requirement) The only difference that, yours is on good shape, shiny screen but mine have crazy lines on screen, upper left portion of lcd is cracked and doesn't display any except green and white cracks. My down button is broken. The netbook still runs fine though, just suffering with a bad LCD

[@TechSimplified910]

That is interesting, I am sorry about the cracks on your screen but, I am sup-prized that you were you able to get some form off windows 10 On that netbook, wow

[@bkkorner]

I had one of these in 2008 too bad it got stolen!

[@TechSimplified910]

@@bkkorner I am so sorry you hear that, maybe you will find one one day, there fairly cheap now for being unsupported sadly

[@bkkorner]

@@TechSimplified910Thank you!

[@rayphoenix7296]

I want to see you attempt to run emulators for high powered gaming systems on it.

[@AffectionateBeignets-mx2qd]

It will stutter a lot (just for ps2, anything above won't even run)

[@TechSimplified910]

I definitely want to try that for sure, I am new to running emulators, where should I start?

[@rayphoenix7296]

@@TechSimplified910 I recommend starting with something somewhat impressive like Ps1 and/or N64. I had a computer like that once and the most I got to run on it was SNES and GBA.

[@AffectionateBeignets-mx2qd]

Try putting some ssd in there, let's see if this thing gets any snappier.

[@TechSimplified910]

@@AffectionateBeignets-mx2qd that is a really good idea Thankyou

[@alvzcizzler]

Try playing games on it like the old GTA games, GTA SA, GTA 3 and VC see if this thing even runs them.

[@TechSimplified910]

that is something I would really like to try and run on it, thankyou I will have to try that thankyou

[@yellowwinner1]

I can't imagine it'd have any issues with GTA 3; I'm definitely curious if it could run older Minecraft or Fallout.

[@NobisSantiago]

I have the same model of computer but doesn’t have operating system, how can I get windows 7 again?

[@TechSimplified910]

So the best way to get Windows 7 starter back on this computer is to get a USB thumb drive go to the Internet archive.com and download Windows 7 starter ISO and then use a software called Rufus which also you can download from Google and go through the steps on creating a USB portable thumb drive

[@TechSimplified910]

I can make a video on it if you like

[@NobisSantiago]

sure

[@airman14_lefans]

I had a Samsung NC110 with the exact same specs, I got it for free. it didnt take too long to find out why it was randomly given for fee by my neighbours. It is horrendously unusable even with 2gig ram and ssd's will do little to no difference. Even debian, archlinux with mate/xfce will run badly, even though 64bit cpu. And I just did a bidet shower blast water test and destroyed it

[@TechSimplified910]

@@airman14_lefans yes oh my gosh so true, shower blast water test, that cool, yes I would assume that It would not survive that lol

[@sadravin1]

i would remove the motherboard and replace it with a raspberry pi 4 or 5 equivalent.

[@TechSimplified910]

@@sadravin1 that is a really good idea Thankyou for the idea, I might have to try that.

[@ostwind1388]

what can you even do with those specs?

[@TechSimplified910]

That is an interesting question, with only 1gb of ram it can really only be used for internet browsing and pretty much that’s it of course now a days you can’t upgrade to windows 10. So it’s just a antique of the past now

[@ostwind1388]

@@TechSimplified910 Maybe home automation server?, hook up some old external drives and make a nas?

[@manishgautam2424]

give it to me i will pay 2 dollar

Bro its 40 try

[@dustyjacobs8993]

Anyone notice that it was connected to a WiFi network and he didn’t connect it to anything

[@TechSimplified910]

It’s not a good thing to connect to the internet on this old operating system, it is vulnerable to malware and malicious attacks
