I Installed Android On My Old Gaming Laptop...

- Today we're installing Android on a failing gaming laptop.
For the last few months this old gaming machine has worked fine, but a broken GPU is causing it to struggle with even the most basic of tasks. Maybe this lightweight OS can help?

Now install Windows on your old smartphone
XDDDDD
Still got my old orange spv so done.
That's actually doable these days...
Just insane
I think it can be done, I have installed windows 10 on my old calculator

It doesn't matter what fashion you prefer, just as long as you safely unmounted it first, the usb stick won't get a scratch!
@@daanmageddon it is best to remove it from windows first, before unplugging it.
Google: here you go, Chromebook, complete with its very own ChromeOS! Perfect for lightweight computers, and it even allows Android app support!
Us: ew get away from me trash
Android x86: Google's Android! Now on a Dell Optiplex!
Us: hell yeah that's what I'm talking about
Super interesting how people are still up in arms about Chromebooks but would willingly disregard any limitations of Android on non-mobile hardware.
Meh, the difference is Android X86 is free. If Chrome OS was free there would be no complaints.
mmm chrome it's free by someways but need to be build by yourself to use it :( i tried and was pretty good saddly my machine wasn't enough to keep installed and android x86 is more ligher
Chrome OS sucks because a Google account is nessecary to do anything with it, plus most if its apps are web based, so what would you do when you have spotty/no internet
The freaking chromeboook is locked in school mode android, that sucks
I laughed so much for that USB pull-out motion😂
There's a custom Androidx86 That's a Desktop Like Environment... Like BlissOS and PhoenixOS... And also they have a Game Mapping for keyboard and mouse...
that's an emulator, it needs the windows os
@@cle4tle no, what are you talking about 😂
@@cle4tle not actually... I have a Laptop Running Single Boot BlissOS No Windows installed...
@@merlinch5453 oh ok, i looked it up online it's similar to linux. i thought it was one of the android emulators
@@sidex15 yah i get it now it's similar to linux, as a standalone os unlike the emulators
Found Linux is better than Android for just a "media" system. Ive also stuck retropie onto my laptop.
This could be a lot easier to use for a windows user or a non-tech savy person. Also i'd wager that games from the app store would STILL run smoother on android than on Wine/Proton.
It depends. Some of the apps I use are simply not supported in Linux.
@@indonesiansasquatch4926 there is alot of distros and many of them are easy to use
like linux mint, zorin os, ubuntu
@@whssy well better there are more software on linux than android
and not many scuffed "editing" software
@@etlttc353 Like I said… it depends. All I need to use my old mini-laptop for is watching RUclips, Netflix, HBO Nordic and listening to Audible and Tidal when I'm on the train.
I was never able to get HBO Nordic to work on Linux. Even the workarounds didn't work - so that was a dealbreaker for me.
For other users, Linux will be more viable - it just isn't for everyone.
I like your gentle touch, that USB removal was Grade A+
That desktop pc case panel looks exactly like mine and the blue power light on mine is also burned out, It was at the 3 month mark.
"It's a lovely day outside. Stay indoors" XD XD XD
I really like your channel. Iv been watching for around a whole year now damn. Keep up with the great content! Your really underappreciated
This looks like a great option for aging laptop hardware. Now I have a use for my couple years old budget laptop. Thanks for the inspiration here. Have a great day and thanks again!
I was like “why are you putting android?” Until you said the gpu was failing
these x50m and x60m gpu fry themselves in laptop, often times working around 85-90 degrees prolong.
Just run a game and you'll get those temps for %90 of laptops
@Talha Saraç
I have a GTX 1650 laptop, the temps never go beyond 72C
Still not a reason to put android on it
@@humorss I have a laptop with an 860m that's hitting higher temps like this, do you know if downclocking would help much or would it not be worth it

Long-time fan here. I catch every upload. Two minutes late to the party! Cool project. :)
2:55 RG got that strong pullout game 😂
Wow it's pretty cool to have an android to your laptop. Big like nice vid i pretty enjoy it lol!
Cool video. I've seen ETA Prime's video on the same subject, and it's always nice to see new life put into old and ageing hardware. I wonder if a dual boot situation is possible, such as a Android/Linux setup. That would be something cool to maybe make a video on if it's even possible.
I actually tinkered around with Android x86 a bit on my old Acer Aspire 4330 back in 2013 or so, when the then-current build was still based on Android 4.4. It was neat, and ran amazingly smoothly and fast) quickly on my aging laptop, but I found it largely unfit for daily use, and instead ended up breathing new life into that old machine with Linux Mint.
I'm glad to see they're still working on the project though, and have updated it to more modern variants of Android. 👍
These videos are a ray of sunshine in these troubled times
You and ETA Prime are inspirations for me.
I did this on my craptop as soon as I watched this and I love it!
I did the same thing, except with Linux, very happy with how it turned out.
hold still while I lick your ear yum yum yes that's cheddar goodness *bites off ear* mmm cheddar goodness
@@raven4k998 what the fuck
What a wonderful idea, I really never thought about putting Android on a PC or Laptop giving us that use Android phones a Native OS to interact with. Bravo on your content. 👍🙂👍
I've had a similar Compal chasis with i5 - my first 'proper' laptop. After about 4 years the display died so I removed it and used the rest as a PC. Then another 3 years later the motherboard finally died. I have a lot of good memories with that machine, I still keep it in a box. I'm just too nostalgic about it.
Try Bliss OS 12. It's better and it has Android 10 and inbuilt keymapper for games.
Can you give me a Download link? Can i dualboot it? Will it run on a intel celeron n3350 and intal hd 500 and 4gb of ram? And can i play games, eventually fortnite mobiele?
Google is your friend.

Lol
When's Android 10 gonna come out for this 😂
It will surely be when Android 11 is released it was always like that.
@@windowstips1430 it's already out in the form of bliss OS it's Android 10 but configured specifically to run on PC's/laptops installed the same way but it works way better than what was already in the video
Bliss os
It's actually already out (q-x86 developer branch was made available in November of last year). Right now it is mainly for developers, and you have to build it yourself from the source.
There are other custom Android x86 distros like BlissOS that offer ISOs based off of Android 10 if you don't want to build from source.
The only youtube channel that really do what its name (channel) says 👌🏻
Dam thanks bro, it was really helpful I knew rufus and how to ok create a botable disk but I didn't know you could install android on a computer

Your face reflection on the top plastic was hilarious
When I enable native bridge it starts downloading the files it needs, but then it stops and when I check if native bridge is on it is off. Do you know how to fix this issue?
You should fix the gpu and do some more stuff with it that would be a interesting video

Are there any CPUs/GPUs you've never had but would still like to be able to test? Wondering if I have something I could send you from my collection (though most of my GPUs are from the Fermi era, but I do have a fair few CPUs).

I'm actually surprise how good Android run in that pc! Good work
I have a veeeery old laptop, which is constantly at 100% on every category on the taskmanager. I will definetly try this. Thank you for this video!
Edit: Hey! After a bit of complications I finally managed to do it and it runs mostly smooth. Not as smooth as my smartphone, but waaay better than with windows. So thx for the video :)

Your 'remove the usb gently' joke got me to laugh, thanks!
what's the difference between gently and regularly removing usb?
Eta prime fan here !
Windows can be a bit bloated on newer versions (e.g. Windows 10), though I'd have thought an early Core i5 would have handled it with no issues. Even so, great restoration and video :)
Most laptop GPUs are not removable...
Yeah I'm not sure why you would recommend doing this at all, as it seems like a fairly extreme measure to take when there are so many other steps to take first.
The OS is almost never the cause of slowdown with older hardware, and assuming the CPU is working properly and isn't a single or dual core processor it never is.
The most likely cause of slowdown is a full or failing HDD, followed by a virus.
It was an issue with the failing gpu. Intel gpu wasn't running great on Windows 10 due to the spec needed just to browse. That was the issue with it running slow and why he decided to try android due to the low hardware requirements (gpu especially).
@@deanzambardi2991 This laptop has Nvidia graphics, not intel.
@@ultrademigod He said the GPU is failing, so he will be using the Intel HD.

The most profound thing I have heard on a RUclips tech channel yet: "If you don't know what it is, don't touch it!".
Literally thought about this yesterday. Thanks
and didnt work, after it boots to android i get some weird video glitch, a black screen with white stripes all over the upper middle portion of the screen. Havent found anything on the web regarding this issue, anyone having this too?
Thank you for this video, a couple of questions: In order to upgrade the system one has to do a clean install or there is an option for upgrade? Also, this Android platform has access to Google Store?
I am pulling out the same way, the USB stick on the other hand, a bit more gently.
It was time for Thomas to leave. He had seen everything.

Hey, great video! Does the camera and built in microphone work?
Cool video. I've heard of running Android X86 in virtual machines, but never as the actual OS.
How to install wine without the interface or being an Android version of it. I know Android x86 is based on Linux but can they run Linux programs?
No the base Android kernel is too heavily modified, but if you install Neverware's Cloudready OS aka Chromium OS on an X86-64 bit machine(make sure you have at least 4GB of RAM, 120GB of main storage(if you have a 2nd HDD/SSD unplug it during install so it does not accidentally wipe the drive, and install there, then plug it afterwards I know from experience of loosing some data lol) and a dual core CPU for comfortable usage, then you can go into the settings, and enable Linux support, but getting it to install at least for me at this point has been hit, and miss, but Chrome/Chromium(the opensource development version of Chrome OS) OS is based on Gentoo Linux, and BTW use Etcher to write your USB key no matter what OS you are using, as it does a better job then the official tool on the Neverware website.

You can install linux deploy or anLinux (root) and userland or my favourite, andronix (no root). They use proot to simulate the linux environment. As long as you have 200.000+ on antutu, it will be fine. Just make sure you have more than 4 gb of ram since remember that you will need to install the linux kernel, all the compiler and programs which will run on top of your android.
@@ragilmalik I think they mean without having to go through all those steps, which is why I gave the answer I did, but ultimately if you want to run Linux apps you should be running a good distro like Manjaro Mate, or Mint DE if you can find a workflow with Cinnamon DE,of which I personally can't since I've been a MATE DE user since the mid 00's, Budgie is my next favorite DE next to Chromium's Aura Shell
@@ragilmalik Linux Deploy and similar apps dont install the Linux kernel as its already installed. They just use it and install the rest of the operating system that can then run off the same kernel as Android, sharing all resources (except graphics).
I used Mint on an old laptop with failing gpu and burnt hdmi...
Used it up until it was litterally kept together with electrical tape and then the wifi died...
pretty much doing the same thing with Xubuntu 16.04 here
Still useful with an ethernet cable. Don't let it die!
@ It's an i3 330, from 2010
Served me well as second computer, now I use an old desktop instead for what it was used.
Thanks for sharing this!!!
lol i had to take the shears to my head yesterday :) intresting option of android on older laptop i may try it on my old dell core 2 duo laptop!,. thanks for the vid.
I'm going to try get this to run on my '99 Pentium 3 laptop :D
Doesent even work on a core 2 duo
Unsupported: Instruction set insufficiency
Android 2.0 should run.
Try Xubuntu or Lubuntu. Non-PAE versions like 12.04 or lower I think
I running fine the default Android X86 on my single core Intel Celeron.
@@xvxv6975 it does, but you have to use 32 bit

Thats actually really cool!!
Very good, I'm planning to do this on 2 computers. A desktop and a laptop. Did you find a way to use the mouse and keyboard on fps games?
android 10 is gonna be a better OS than the current 8 or 9 since it has like dex features, but please use linux instead of android.
its already out and android 11's beta is out rn

When she asks RGinHD to be gentle 2:55
android is anything but a light operating system
It's a hell of a lot lighter than windows though
Android is one of the lightest OS's available, the skins made by smartphone brands are what makes it heavy... Android x86 is based on purely stock Android (AOSP), you just don't get anything lighter than that, trust me.
Hugo Silva iOS
@@diegoforlan2324 iOS is not light, it's an OS specifically optimized for one small family of devices, which makes it efficient. It's different.
Great video! I wonder what can i install my old laptop which has centrino duo 1.6 dual core, gma 945, 2 gigs of ram, and vista os? Android as in the video or any other light weight linux distros?
I don't know why, but I found the way you yanked the USB out of your desktop hilarious xD
this or Manjaro arch :)
Btw I use Arch.
The KDE version of manjaro is remarkable these days
A lightweight Linux distro would probably be more useful (and please don't tell me that Android is also just a Linux distribution)
Isn't it then?
Android is also just a Linux distribution.

Ooh my goodness, I've been pulling my usb sticks out wrong. Wow thanks for the technique 👍
if you are bored and want to do something, i reccomend downloading other linux distributions and trying them out using a live usb. All you have to do is use rufus in the exact same way you did with this ISO of android. It doesnt change anything in your pc and its a lot of fun exploring all the different flavors of linux.
Lubuntu, a variant (formerly called flavour) of Ubuntu, is really lightweight. I would recommend trying that on your system (you can try it without installing)
RandomGaminginHD and ETAPrime collab soon?
That would be awesome!
