Gamed on it from 2016 until 2021 when the HDD got too slow to operate (i.e taking almost 7 minutes from switching it on until you could even begin browsing, and using 100% of the HDD while idle) Then I refurbished it, threw in an i7-2630qm, 16gb (2x8) DDR3 RAM, run the OS from a 120gb SSD, and installed a 750gb HDD with an adapter caddy in the old optical drive bay. Still using it to this day. It's still snappy and can run older games just fine, the main limiting factor right now is the integrated graphics keeping it down in performance.

this is a very "if it's not good, it's bad" mindset, because such a system is perfectly fine for productivity tasks (what most people use it for), as well as even some light gaming should you wish, let me explain it based on each of your points 1. 8 gigs of ram, while it's becoming less useful each year, still can handle an operating system, browser, word processor, and some other applications open just fine, it only really struggles if you're a heavy multitasker or want to play modern games 2. TPM 2.0 being included means nothing except not being able to run windows 11, just beacuse microsoft says "it's a requirement" when it actually can be bypassed, doesn't mean anything without it is useless (just use linux or windows 10) 3. integrated graphics works for everything outside of gaming, though i have to agree that this is the most valid point here, as it's a very early igpu and is pretty crap 4. just because it's a 2009 processor, does not instantly mean it's awful, it's a quad core with 8 threads and therefore isn't the end of the world when it comes to multitasking activities (it's no modern chip, but again, it doesn't have to be) 5. probably the noise is caused by the fans working overtime due to intensive activity, this is very common on laptops from this era when the growth in cpu power in laptops very suddenly compared to their previous growth, again this is a subjective but valid point

For office, casual video watching, or playing older games, you don't need upgrade. But there is one problem. OS. Windows 10 support will end in October 2025. Windows 11 is not supporting older PCs, unless you do tricky regedit, but we do not know, how that will end. Maybe MS will be harsh for TPM bypass users. On the other way, there is Linux, but not every software works fine on that OS. Printer drivers still can be pain in the ass. As a IT Admin in hospital, it bothers me, because there is no money for new PC, but either we can't install Windows 11 without fear something will not work properly. And Linux is not a good idea for people around 50 years old, with only Windows experience. They don't want to learn. They want muscle memory of something familiar.

If you used an old pc, would it get windows 11. If not then how would it have security because the os it’s running would run out of Microsoft defender

[@Lol5967]

It depends how old is it. Pretty much every PC older than late 2017 will not support windows 11. It’s only 8th gen intel cpu / AMD Ryzen 2nd gen and newer that support windows 11.

These old laptops are enough for basic web browsing and the old gpu driver is probably not supported in win 10 you can only play retro games, sadly if you want to play games or run power hungry apps you have to get a decent pc, you cant do magic with it

I have 2 old laptop like this and I installed on one gg os and play these old nfs games, like Underground 2 or hot poursuit and Unreal Tournament. On the second I installed Linux. With an ssd they run great

This is pretty true,but what if you can't install windows 10?

[@smg5357]

HP 250 G6 with Windows 11 has even simple things like KZbin lagging all the time with barely any usage of interactions and simple games like Roblox lag every minute for 2 minutes. Is Windows 11 actually that of a problem or what?

[@Sonic_The_Hedgedog_Reddit]

*I have the exact same computer as you and I can confirm that Windows 11 lags so much. I don't think HP 250 G6 supports Windows 11. (I went back to Windows 10 and it is way better now. No more lag)*

⁠@@smg5357 u can try installing tiny11 if u want which is a less bloated windows system Linux might be seen as weird from others but I doubt ur friends would that much If you want you can also just keep using 10, that should do you well until programs eventually stop supporting it but a web browser or smth would still work fine anyway

My father has brought a HP Laptop from 2012 and it is doing pretty good even I am watching this video with this laptop in full 1440p quality. It handles MInecraft, Call of duty 4 Modern Warfare, Call of duty 2, Asphalt 8. Still looking to this laptop gives me a smile on the face that how good this laptop it is. Although it can get hot like super it is not a problem for me since I always watch video beside my air cooler. My model is HP G62-a10se (dual HDD and SSD)

English american language seems to get poorer and poorer regarding the number of words used to express different things. For example they mostly(only) use "need" and "love", nothing else nuanced, not also "want", "wish,", "have to", etc, just "need", and not "like"(verb), "nice", etc, but just "love". Only a few words will remain and mostly superlatives.

[@chitan1362]

Love it or hate it, If you don't plan on using an old machine like this for gaming, It's a no-brainier putting Linux on an old laptop like this. I've lately been experimenting with an old Acer Aspire One ZG5 netbook from 2008. 32-bit ONLY, Single core, multi-thread Intel Atom and 1GB RAM. This thing has no issues running Debian with the XFCE desktop! Very basic web browsing is somewhat feasible too. Something like this would work great as a word processing machine! I'm gonna try Gentoo on it next because I am masochistic.

[@Yasaki_Kondo]

I doubt that it could run latest esports title such as league of legends, cs2 or valorant comfortably. Heck my old laptop from 2019 is still struggling running minecraft comfortably at 60 fps I had to use mods like optifine just get the game running smoothly. So please, upgrade your pc, don't make yourself going through all this pain, treat yourself with a nice and comfortable I'll say that a 750$ pc or more will last you 5 or 15 years from now on playing any games at 1080p60fps (well depending on the hardware you choose of course)

[@SurfsharkAcademy]

Oh it wouldn't run those games for sure, my point is that many eSports titles should still run well on most PCs, the laptop from the video is an extreme example of a low-end laptop

[@Yasaki_Kondo]

@@SurfsharkAcademy trust me, most people wouldn't recommend keeping their old pc(well except server), though I think a pc around 512gb of storage with a gpu with 2 or more vram or weaker(I'm not well-informed enough about the cpu) should probably considered getting a new pc because trust me, I tried running cs2 and it was a disaster, my gpu is 2gb of vram(mx130) that only play cs2 at 80fps at the lowest possible settings. But it still stutters when I tried to multi-task dropping to 30fps, skipping frames. Heck even if I don't multi task and only focus on the game, it still stutters when I tried to use voice chat. Also I kinda wonder, did you manage to run cs2 or even league on the old laptop. I'm curious about the result

[@PercyPanleo]

With RAM there are still a few situations where the upgrade can be substantial. If you're only using one stick of RAM, then adding a second stick or RAM will allow the RAM to run in dual channel mode, effectively allowing your PC to read/write twice as much data within a single clock cycle. Even if all of your RAM isn't being utilized, this will still often cause a performance jump. Another situation where upgrading the RAM can give a substantial difference is if you're using a system with an APU, as you're then using the same RAM for your CPU as your are for your GPU. In this case though speed is the main thing to worry about, as while slower RAM is generally OK for CPUs (though perhaps not ideal) it is detrimental to the GPU (Which is why dedicated GPUs have RAM on-board)

also if your ram gets maxxed out during everyday use

What to do with your old laptop: -just clean it out -Upgrade HDD to SSD -Install linux or hard reset/reinstall windows -Uninstall old or preinstalled programs that you dont need -Play some older games *they are also good* -Upgrade ram from 3/4gb to 8gb *because most of mid-end laptops from 2011 supported maximum 8gb of ram -Play more optimized games -Use lower resolution in settings -Use Ublock origin or ublock lite extension in browser to make it load pages faster -Play some older minecraft versions like 1.12.2 or 1.16.5 Or just buy a new laptop

Left windows in 2018 for linux i saw that the boat was going down like the titanic😂 and i was right windows 11 was worse than windows 10, now you can not move your taskbar to the sides or the top since microsoft do not want you to have the option and if you read the agreement you do not own your operating system you just rent it why windows have product keys. with linux i have full control of my system. I work as a manager in a store and do not need micosoft office but libreoffice is good and you can open save as docx files also you can download microsoft fonts for libreoffice. I get the same office support and i pay 0$ lol windows users get scammed i do not play games on my pc so really no need for a communist operating system.
