3:25 Rufus also gives you 6 additional options if it detects that you are adding a Windows 11 ISO (it doesn't need to be Tiny11 specifically), and one of these options is to disable the requirement for TPM 2.0. The other 5 are just as useful. Pretty neat stuff. 12:29 You can also use an application called BloatyNosy to debloat the system. Maybe a suggestion for a future video? :) Also, great video!

The best thing to do for old computers that are absolutely needed to run a modern OS is to install more RAM, provided that's possible. The laptop in this video only has 3GB. Even back in the day, I wouldn't purchase my machines with so little memory. 4GB minimum is a must. Laptops from this era should be upgradeable to 4GB if not 8GB. All my HP laptops from this time can be increased to 8GB. It makes a HUGE difference, even in browsing. If RAM is sufficient, replacing the HD with an SSD is the next step, and that will transform the system. They're dirt cheap. It doesn't matter what OS or software you have installed on an old computer if the hardware is not up to the task. This video is a 'can it be done' experiment. Of course, it can be done but it's not enough to install a stripped-down version of an OS, any OS, to run apps these days. I have laptops from 2008 that I use _daily._ You really need to upgrade the hardware in a legacy system for daily use. After that's done install a light OS.

Extensions like h264ify (or the enhanced version of that extension) do wonders for old laptops in youtube. KZbin switched to VP8/VP9, and later to AV1 as their video codecs. Old laptops tend to lack GPU accelerated decoding for those codecs, and hence it has to be done via the CPU (which isn't exactly great on these old laptops). By using that extension, you force youtube to serve videos using the h264 codec, which is extremely well established, and for which these laptops more than likely have GPU decoding support. This massively lowers CPU usage and makes video playback a hell of a lot smoother. It does produce lower video quality and it caps at 1080p60, but for those laptops that is perfectly fine.

I found that installing the full version of Windows 11 was fine as long as I installed nothing from Windows Updates. If the updates came, it made the laptop unusable. The laptop became super slow and the screen froze for a second several times each minute. To permanently disable Windows Update, the only way I could find was to go to Settings and tell it that my internet connection was a metered one. Windows Update is set by default to not download updates on a metered connection. To make things a bit faster, I installed Tiny11 instead. It works well.

Windows 10 on my 2013 Asus took about 5-10 minutes to be usable on boot. I put Zorin on it, from boot to open/editing Libre office Writer document: 56 seconds. Not going back.

You should stress that if you have a great computer that is older and you want Windows 11 then put a SSD in and go for it. I have some older 11 year old OptiPlex's and they have a quad-core i5 and 8 Gb of ram. They are real clean. I got a SSD in it now and put Tiny11 on it and I would not have been able to do this without Tiny11. It skipped all the hardware recommendation's and that was nice. Anyhow, runs great. I have it at 17 Gb on my SSD. So yeah, ok, it works, it runs well. I just went to Microsoft and got Edge on my external HD and loaded in my OptiPlex and we are all good to go. So now that I mentioned it then try it yourself. It loaded to the desktop in 16 minutes!

They always say it's fast, and it's never fast. I installed many different Linux distros on my old, low powered PC, and they were all extremely slow. They weren't any faster than Windows.

If your laptop is not high spec but has a quad core cpu like I3 or some AMD A series and maybe more than 2GB ram, having Tiny11 is a great option along with a lightweight android emulator like Andy which kind of gives you both windows and android on a potato powered metal peace of s***

We spend the vast majority of our time using a browser, not Windows applications. That means operating system no longer matters as much. What does matter-- particularly with older machines-- is speed of response. Linux yields best results on older equipment, rendering faster, more stable browsing and video viewing.

I was so ready to get my wifes craft space setup in linux on an old laptop since we already had it and no need for expensive new tech since she doesnt game or make content. Got it all installed, got a bunch of open source editing apps installed and then...cricut reared its ugly head; "only supports mac os and windows" 😒 well shi- Now im looking for lightweight windows. This looks promising but concerned about security. Definitely adding Tiny11 to the prospect list

I'm going to say that Windows Vista is probably the most beautiful version of Windows. Keeping bugs aside, okay? Most of the things that made Windows Vista "bad" at that time is that not all hardware was ready yet. Also, of course most of the problems came from the legacy part of software made for older versions of Windows And some other ones can't manage things like user account control (UAC) which stays in modern Windows versions and other operating systems like macOS or Linux already required root or an admin password to make some kind of "administrative changes" let's say.

Are you kidding me? Are you really that naive? How about he make a video about how he's scamming all these surfshark customers out of their hard-earned money? Surfshark doesn't hide your IP address or current location. You can test this just by going to Google and asking what the current weather is, or what your IP address is. And unlike what he says on these ridiculous videos, it doesn't matter what protocol you use or what location you choose on the app, it will still show your real location's weather. So nothing is being hidden and nothing is private. So he needs to stop effing lying to all these people!! Surfshark is nothing but a scam and needs to be reported to the authorities!!

Most of the forced software (and hardware) "upgrades" are for their benefit. Not ours. Windows 7 already did everything I need. As did Word, excel, PowerPoint etc. This is true for most people who don't use their PC for gaming or 3d design/ editing. It's infuriating when that laptop that did everything perfectly suddenly starts crawling at a snails pace as warnings and nagging pop up everywhere to demand that you "upgrade" and software companies stop their product working on old Windows.

Based on the performance in that video, I would put Linux on that machine unless I absolutely, positively had to run Windows. And if I did need Windows, I'd probably step down to Windows 7. I'm running Windows 11 on my laptop right now, but I spend most of my time in Linux on my mini-PC.

Linux can work for majority if you just only do internet, email, and watch video streaming services. I notice a trend in computing in the last 10 years that people has been downsiding the use of computers to several specific internet services like youtube, and social media and even some gaming. I setup a linux Mint machine for my uncle who is 70 years old and never had any issues. All he does is youtube, music and facebook on the PC. It's always about what people do with PCs. For me Linux and Android got better with many things. 80% of the time I'm on Android tablet because it's lower wattage and does everything basic (at the moment I'm on this tablet to watch this video at desktop mode) and sometimes gaming emulation like PS2 and sometimes old PC games like Starcraft. If I'm on my PC then 90% of the time its Linux Mint and the only time I use Windows 10 because there are games that doesn't work on Linux. My friend who does video/media production. It's hard to switch you have to relearn how to make it work and support isn't good or time consuming. That's when you can say Linux may not be for you.

The biggest problem with windows now is not even the bloatware it's the "mandatory" Microsoft account. The force you to be connected to Microsoft so they can collect data all the time and this really slows down your computer. There are workarounds but they have everything. Browsing habits, passwords, shopping habits, banking information etc. This should be illegal.
