      Ah thanks for letting me know. So i watch a lot of pc building stuff and for me personally i love the picking parts and i saw that you do that part fast maybe start explaining why did you pick that cpu and stuff (give picking pc parts longer) that's my opinion ❤

    With a lightweight Linux distro that laptop could still have a better performance than with Windows 10

    • @OddestStar
      @OddestStar 4 months ago +3

      Lubuntu perhaps or linux mint xfce

    • @hakkart01
      @hakkart01 4 months ago +4

      ​@OddestStaror maybe distros like Q4OS, Linux Lite or Puppy Linux

    • @SWITCHINGACCOUNTS-x9b

      Or prob antiX Linux. ​@hakkart01

    Great job bud. Last week I have upgraded my very first laptop bought around 2012. From Windows 7, i5-2430qm, 6GB RAM and 750 GB HDD went up to Windows 10, i7-2760qm, 16 GB RAM and 500 GB SSD. Now is the fastest Acer 5750 on the planet.

    As if you are not using it for a long time it can also cause the issue of current leakage I suggest to use a leak protector device over it

    you can also upgrade by adding a second hard drive, ssd/hdd by replacing that dvd drive and using a caddy. ain't no one using dvd drive nowadays, even if they're usually worn out after a decade anyway so its a solid upgrade

    Love these types of nostalgia videos. Old PCs can still be useful especially with modern Linux operating systems available. I did get a bit of a laugh about a 14 year old laptop being seen as nostalgic though 😂. My first PC was 32 years ago.

    i have this laptop and its sort of spiritual successor, the e6430... my e5420 was a company hand me down... guy in the office left and i cleaned out his desk and ripped out the HDD and replaced it with a 120Gb ssd... in its day a 4gb i5-2540 on an ssd in win7 was absolutely fine... i never felt it ran out of memory or power but mine fell apart in very light office use... the hinges were weak for a supposed' SME' laptop... i then shoved it in a box in my garage... i replaced it with an e6430 this time with 8Gb i5-3360 240gb ssd... this laptop would still do well in WIn10 today... this was a 'Professional' laptop with a magnesium frame... the e5420 was plastic... both of mine had the 1,600 x 900p screen which makes all the difference but today would be considered too cramped

    • @yrlux1
      @yrlux1 Day ago +1

      ​@NotWlort still Linux gets worst fps in games tho and on windows you can remove most bloat ware anys and windows is more trusted and has better security than linux and windows let's you play more games and have more apps unlike Linux and plus there's custom windows 10 and 11 and every windows versions that have no bloat ware and are more optimized for performance and for gaming than linux, Linux works better on amd GPUs and not that good on rtx or gt or any Nvidia GeForce GPU and Linux is picky on ram CPU GPUs wifi and drivers for anything that needs them and Linux just sucks for gaming and other stuff etc windows better

    • @yrlux1
      @yrlux1 Day ago +1

    Ram went from 4GB to 16GB
    Runs on W10 LTSC IoT
    Unlocked BIOS and tuned to the absolute max
    Handles YT 4k@50-55FPS
    Starts up in 6 seconds on a SATA SSD
    Your laptop can do better if you try to update the laptop bios to support hyperthreading. You’ll get the thread count to double. Wish you Goodluck with getting a QM cpu
