Thank you Michael for doing what you do, because you and LGR are the two best retro/vintage PC RUclipsrs I've come across, this is a great video even though I've barely started to watch it lol
Thank you for uploading those recovery disks! My Q1U happens to have a functional battery so once I get XP loaded back into it it may actually find use again!
They (the commenter) posted a comment (I added “(the commenter)” in brackets so you could tell what my comment was about much like how you added brackets to indicate what you were talking about despite the fact it was the sole focus of the video and it would be exceedingly easy to infer what you were talking about without the brackets; in a video about installing Windows®️Vista on a Samsung®️Q1 Ultra tablet computer, “it tried its best” as a comment under the video is easy to understand as “it” referring to the Samsung®️Q1 tablet computer and therefore descriptorty brackets are not necessary and come off as patronising to the reader.)
I really enjoy these Videos. It really gets me to think what else things can windows be installed on and like you said what can it be installed on. Keep up the great work MJD on videos for the education, entertainment and for bringing nostalgia to us. Appreciate your hard work and dedication.
It was the Q1 Ultra Premium that shipped with Vista. Those models had a Core Solo vs whatever Intel chip was in the regular Q1 Ultra. The Premium was also thicker and came with a bigger battery, though the thinner battery from the non-Premium fit. There was also a docking station available for the Q1 Ultra series with a spacer that could be put in to make the non-Premium model fit properly.
Michael, thank you very much for leaving links to the drivers in the description, because I have the same Samsung Q1 Ultra and I wanted to install Windows Vista!
you should try to upgrade it to every version of Windows up to the most recent one by one, to know where's the limit. Will make a great series of videos.
A previous employer provided me with one of these units to use as part of a utility inspection program. It came preloaded with Vista and ran beautifully. It even passed the drop test a few times and survived. Eventually it became outed due to Vista and was replaced with a laptop. It worked well for the purpose I used it for.
Vista is a christmas tree for no purpose but to satisfy they eyes of the user.. it drag the system down and lower the performance to make it look "pretty and nice" .. the animations was a bit over the edge as well
@@lokelaufeyson9931 If you really didn't like it, you could still use the Classic theme just fine. That's how things worked for a long while. The main theme looked really gorgeous, but would be heavier on resources, while the Classic theme would look a lot more plain but would perform better. Sometimes much better depending on how low-spec the machine was. Then, starting with Windows 8, Microsoft, in a brilliant genius move, got rid of that system entirely and forced users to use the main heavier theme only.
I'm curious to see what windows 7 would do on this. Windows 7 was faster than Vista in many ways. Also if you try upgrading from Windows XP to Vista Business it would be faster too as it doesn't have the Windows Media Center bloat which made low end PCs faster.
Windows Vista was the first OS I had when I got my own PC back in the day (coming from family XP PC). being a teen at the time I didnt fully understand why everyone hated Vista. But for my needs as a WoW addict back then it was a nice OS. Second favorite OS only behind Windows 7
These machines are great Windows XP devices! I have two of them now and one has Windows XP installed and the other has Debian 12 with LXDE. Debian 12 is one of the few modern Linux distros that still runs on 32 bit machines.
@@gydo1942 for the most part, it is useable, but web browsing is very difficult and slow. At best, it could be used for a little Linux terminal and some light apps.
I had a Q1 Ultra Premium which was I think a 1.1 GHz Core Solo (1.2 maybe?) and put Vista Ultimate on it even though it came with XP tablet. It was significantly slower, but better in some ways (mostly slower on booting). At least I could watch 720p MKV files which is what I mostly wanted (besides pen Solitaire). I also installed OS X, on it for a while, so I had touch screen Mac OS (after swapping in a new WiFi card). Now, unfortunately, half of the screen is dead. Thinking about buying an ultra and swapping screens since they are both 1024x600 but I’m not sure if it’s bad caps on the board or the screen itself. I also swapped in a 128gb SSD and 2GB ram.
I have tested many times these types of devices. The error in the Windows assessment in these types of devices happens due to the fact that the display size of the panel is smaller than the largest video test file. In theory that should just skip the test but due to INCREDIBLY STUPID Intel driver that just crashes the video decoder when the image is larger than the rendering area. You can dig that from the logs once you dig deep enough. Also the touch screen driver - the best version is usually the one it was bundled with. Newer version might have bugs. Also the same driver from the other UMPC devices - either newer or older might not be suitable for the specific UMPC device.
Hey Michael, excellent work as always for your channel! I have a suggestion: I'm starting a virtualization/archival project of the AWE Learning computers (Early Literacy Station), and I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a video on AWE? I'm only archiving versions that were based off of old releases like Windows XP or Windows Embedded 7 and I've started a Discord dedicated to the efforts. I know someone on Reddit was supposed to contribute but I don't know if it's going to happen or not. If anyone is interested and have a AWE unit to make a hard disk image out of, let me know! It would be nice to see more tech RUclipsrs review this interesting piece of software that is known to remove the Windows logo on startup.
So Michael, I can easily help you with what is going on on the Q1. What you need to do is you need to go in to control panel and uninstall and disable. Net meeting, you also need to uninstall and disable outlook. Let me explain why. Net meeting and outlook both cause the operating system to lag like a son of a gun. Because they are actually both on and running in the background. 24/7 in Windows Vista. Which consumes Ram and processor usage. If you disable those and turn off the windows widgets on the side of the screen and turn off arrow, you will actually get way better performance out of that little hand held
Back in 2013 to 2015 I had one and was running Windows 10, I planned on trying to unofficially upgrade the ram from 1gb to 2gb, but someone stole it from me. I used to love having the Hulu Desktop app on it, and just propping it up while out and about and streaming away on it. It was still a bit sluggish though, but if ya only ran one or two apps it was bearable.
always nice to see vista getting some love. THe aesthetic is better than 7 even, which grew from vista. It was ahead of its time and a lot of the hate comes from hardware being behind software and only the unobtanium systems of the time having enough 'smash' to run vista properly. anyone thats tried vista on a phenom II or FX8350 with a good gpu can tell you how well it runs on beefy hardware.
I don't know if it's new or something they've been doing for a while and I didn't notice before, but when you mentioned giving the video a thumbs up the widget lit up. As if I need help finding it, but it was kind of cool anyway.
I have a boxed copy of windows Vista and just want to put it on an old system but it loves failing to authenicate the copy as support has ended and also i swear there is a wormhole in my house as my copy of XP vanished along with a copy of Command & Conquer for the PS1!. My copy of XP is a copied version though but it does work and just wish i could find it for two old systems i have just collecting dust in my attic!. Great videos btw and thank you & Happy Hollllydays one and all!!! ⛄🎄
As if LGR and Ben Stein had a baby somehow gave us you, lol love your video. Also cl_showfps 1 is then console command to show fps in HL1. I know you didn't install it in this video just something to keep in mind for next time
windows 7 was compatible with 2 Gb ram and maybe 1,5 Gb if i dont remember wrong so its possible if you turn off a few features that wont affect the function of the system.
@@alexanderbaker4900 the world is a very strange place. People are trying to go back. Right now, the Internet is the same way. This is exemplified by Frugiter Aero becoming popular again.
*Protip:* Vista is buggy as HELL without Service Pack 1. You will need it. In fact, it's almost mandatory for the OS. Never use Vista RTM if you can help it.
windows vista was installed on any device or computer that they wanted to sell, requirement didnt matter. There was some nasty "not vista compatible" computers that was sold with vista. It was a bad time to be alive.. Windows Vista in general did have some "OS 2 Warp" issues as well, slow and sluggish due to bad code" and not really direct response when you click anything. Animations was running, background bloat was loaded and it was a mess.
I remember back in the day, way back in 2006 when I was a college freshman, that Vista was kinda chuggy on even 1GB of RAM, and that a lot of tech articles/forums seemed to suggest shooting for 2GB minimum, 4GB to comfortably run it. lmfao. But then it's amazing how nowadays, Chrome uses more than a gigabyte per tab, and I would be antsy running Windows on 4GB of RAM, or even 8.
Not sure if my first comment went through…but I have the vista driver CD for this. The Q1 Ultra it came with doesn’t have the cameras or the fingerprint reader…but it should have most, if not all of the drivers including the Origami experience pack. Let me know if you’re interested!
Honestly if I had a such old tablet pc like that with 800mhz and like 1gb of ram I would run like Win ME or 2000 pro on it for best performance. Anyway awesome and great video as always.

The Q1 reminds me so much of the WiiU's gamepad, I think both being a glossy black helps

compared to windows 98 and 95 and later OS like windows 7, Windows vista was a bloated snail.
i was waiting for this! and oh isn't windows so wonderful, don't we all love spending hours uninstalling and reinstalling drivers
There's a Windows XP sticker on this device. So people think it would be Windows XP but it's just Windows Vista.

woahhhh, never thought about this, even if they were coming with them installed
excellent video as always
seeing an old tablet with Windows XP that is being ugraded to Windows Vista is the best cool video
Can you install Windows 7 on the Samsung Q1 Ultra
I love Windows Vista.
Neat, you actually made the upgrade video. 😊 Now Win7, 8, 10 and 11 next. 😁
Install Windows 11 full bloatware
YES!

Let's gooo, Windows Vista time
Put 32Bit Ubuntu MATE on it. It will run like a champ for the next 25 years.
I would also try upgrading this to Windows 7.
Next step: Installing Hannah Montana Linux or Uwuntu into this thing. Amazing video as always!
So this is basically a fancier version of the Wii U Gamepad
You have to take it a step further and try to upgrade to Windows 7! maybe even try to mod the windows 10 installer and upgrade to that too!
Smasnug actually did a great job back then

There is a patcher for Windows 8 that makes it run on Pentium 4 and older, can you try to install it on the Windows 98 pc
