Yeah I feel like I'm the only person who liked Vista lol. I think the main problem with it was people trying to install it on ancient PC's rather than upgrade to newer PC's that actually supported it.
Windows Vista was actually good. The problem was it was meant for more powerful hardware snd Microsoft didn't give clear info on the exact specs needed to run Vista. It was a powerful operating system and a technical marvel of its time.
Actually, they did give the hardware requirements. Unfortunately, nowadays which includes Windows Vista’s era, no one reads the instruction manual, so no one saw it.

6:45 The windows default usb installer is set to install by UEFI mode, which is the modern standard. Older laptops, before windows 7 used the legacy BIOS mode which doesn't support UEFI. An easy way to work around is this is to flash the windows iso using Rufus, and is selected to Legacy mode.

@@oniruddhoalam2039 obviously it will be from the same era. But actually modern CPUs run much cooler and use up less power than older ones because they are much more efficient. AMD CPUs are now on 7nm for example
Fun fact 2: different coolers for different configurations Fun fact 3: whitelists 😂 I'd try that on an old Sony but worthy CPUs cost an arm and a leg so nah

There is little to no difference in performance of end of life Vista and Windows 7 - either Windows 7 would perform no better on that hardware and this applies to both OSs, or something is wrong with the laptop.
I had Aspire 3100, I bought it in 2006 at Staples. Man, it was my most glitchy laptop ever. I had to fix cooling system by myself, cuz it was installed skewed and the computer froze from time to time + the RAM was broken, but the problem went away with a memory upgrade. The DVD drive died almost immediately.... in general, as you noticed, it was a fun machine :)
