Lenovo Ideapad Edge E545 CPU Upgrade

[@Mineav]

I think it's a great looking laptop. Good to see it become more functional.

Even on a fairly low powered computer like this, the CPU shouldn't be running at anything like that level when the computer is idle. I'd be investigating background processes and programs in something like Process Explorer to see what's eating the CPU time.

Looks like you did a superb job

I own one of these Laptops. I would say Windows 10 build 1909 ran pretty fast like 5-6 years ago but newer windows builds totally kill the performance. I rarely use it now and sometimes just for Window 7 legacy softwares and Linux

If the CPU heat sink bolts are numbered 1 2 3 4 I would think you take them off 4-3-2-1 but put them back on 1-2-3-4. Maybe not, I'm a computer guy but also an auto mechanic and I'm thinking of head gasket bolts!

I take it you have fought a new processor that had bent pins before ? Keith

I have a Thinkpad Edge e540 with an I7 4702MQ CPU, but Microsoft says the CPU is not supported for Windows 11, what CPU do you think I could upgrade to?

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

Windows 11 doesn't officially support anything older than an 8th generation Intel CPU or a 2nd generation Ryzen CPU. You can still put Windows 11 on computers that old but you need to use a program called Rufus to strip out the hardware checks from the Windows 11 installer. Do some Google searches for Rufus and Windows 11 and you'll find directions.

[@Hi-mi8rn]

Is it an old Laptop?

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

This laptop was pretty old. Most newer laptops don't have upgradable CPUs.

Michael the way you filming this make me sick :( , good video tho , i will usualy recomand my clients to stay away from AMD CPU from older generation, they dont worth it at alll !
