"see yuh...b*tches"...LMAO! That made my day. Thanks for the video. I figured an SSD and RAM upgrade would be beneficial but I wasn't too sure. So now I'm going to do it.
I had this computer, and it gives me so much nostalgia seeing it. I would say SSD upgrades are certainly worth it. I also do remember this computer's fan being loud as hell!
I have the same laptop but unfortunately it turned out defective. I changed it in the store, but the second one gave the same defect. At times the display flickered and gave a display driver error message. Under warranty, the motherboard was replaced several times, but the defect remained. Strange why the service techs only test it on games but not normal behavior. Finally, already out of warranty, I took it to another service for cleaning, and afterwards it got a thin vertical pink line on the display. Still, this is the laptop with the best image out of all the 10+ I've used, and it's not slow either - 4GB RAM 64bit Win 7. It still works but crashes.
I have a HP G62 laptop, I run Ubuntu, 4gb of RAM and SSD upgrade, Also replaced the cooling paste on my CPU after it kept overheating. Just needs a new battery and a new keyboard as I've lost a few keys and it will be good for another 10 years of use. I'd quite like to get it to work on Windows 95 but i aren't sure that's even possible.
Have 2 of the HP G62 laptops, one an AMD, & the other an Intel. Also have an HP Compaq CQ56, similar to the G62. Both, or, all 3, can be upgraded. All 3 still have Win 7. Thank you 🤓 I think 3GB RAM was an original install.
This pc can run alot more then solitare! Like roblox and flash games. it almost has no lag, i need to test if minecraft bedrock edition runs, but its a perfect pc for a kid if your looking for a cheap laptop for ur kid!
My G62 is a G62-224CA, it has an Athlon II P-320 processor... I upgraded RAM to 6 Gb, and i'm about to put an older Corsair 240 GB SSD... i'm not expecting much as this RUclips video pushes the CPU to 100% already xD
If you go to crucial.com and run their system scanner it'll show you everything you'll need. Afterwards you can either buy from crucial or shop the internet for better prices but the prices at crucial are hard to beat and their shipping is fast👍👍👍👍
Man, I had a really bad experience with that laptop, it wasn't due the performance, it's just because this laptop was a boiling machine. At desktop just after it boot up this thing reached 60°C all the time on the CPU... 60°C only after booting up!!!. And if i tried to play not so demanding games in 5 or so minutes the laptop shutteddown because literally was reaching the maximum temperature that the motherboard could keep up (Don't remember exactly, maybe 100°C.)
@@sir_westerlund just reinstall windows and backup your HP laptop. If you don't have pendrive then just watch some video how to manually install windows without pendrive.
@@sir_westerlund or maybe it was your driver issue. You gotta find the drivers or else you ain't gonna get the performance you need and CPU. Although you have to find the drivers and it is very stressful because there is no current driver that is working with HP G62. It is quite hard but I actually found the drivers for HP G62 but only for win7. But yeah, you gotta find it.
I’m thinking about going with the same hard drive you went with and putting in 8 gb ram , yours looked to be much faster doing that,I went to the site you sent me to but couldn’t find my make and model,which is just like yours,so your a lot happier with your speed ?
If you go to crucial.com their scan option pops right up. It’s my soon to be daughter in laws computer and yes she’s happy with the much improved performance 👍👍👍
Me too Its a 340US laptop with a amd phenom 2.2 ghz quad core processor with 8 gigs of RAM and with a 500GB ssd and i also put in a UTI 10.8V 84Whr laptop battery (upgraded replacement) and it is bulkier than the original battery but it allows for longer on the go usage of around 3 hours and it has its own legs so the back of the laptop sits a little higher so better airflow to the cooling fan and tilts slightly forward towards you. Oh and its on windows 7 because i found out theres no proprietary windows 10 drivers for it, and i do not like how windows 8 looks
I have this exact laptop also,and still had it in original box bought new for 800.00 and I’ve only used it a handful of times because it’s like a turtle! I’ve never updated it ,and after watching your video am thinking about trying,how do you backup windows to reload? I’m thinking about the 8 ram two 4 s and I found your exact hard drive,but was wondering if a 500 would be even faster? I’ve never attempted anything like this, I like the dvdrw drive and all the ports so I hate to buy a newer one
If you want to backup your current hard drive you’ll need to export it to a thumb drive or an external hard drive to reinstall, I believe windows 10 has a program for that. Going with the 500g hard drive won’t be faster, just more storage. A more expensive ssd should make things a little quicker but I don’t think it’s worth it 👍 I would however suggest that you get the biggest ssd that you can afford cause storage is always an issue.
Thanks for helping me , I did go back to crucial and did get it to scan ,so I’m going to try this, it’s not very usable the way it is , took over 5 minutes, 5 minutes! To boot up to go to site to do the scan,so thanks again for helping me, I think it will be a good laptop after it speeds up
I have the same computer and I installed Windows 10 on it and the Bluetooth device did not recognize any more devices even after updating Windows. Does it work for you?
I have my G42 upgraded RAM to 8gb and replaced hdd with 240g SSD. Installed windows 10. Boots up nicely at 30secs but after 5-10 mins of using it then starts to work really slow that it almost take several minutes to open an application. What to do. Please help!
The CPU can be upgraded to a maximum of an AMD Phenom II P960. But also P940 or P920. Whatever your budget permits it. 😉😇🤗 For RAM 8 GB is top. DDR3 PC3-10600S 1333 MHz type. Throw in an SSD & you have a decent machine. 😏
interesting I got the same exact laptop but mine boots up and runs quick like boot up to main screen 10 seconds shut down is literally 15 seconds wow that laptops something wrong with it badly mine is hella fast and its 10 years old original everything
I have a G62 notebook too, I never update my hardware, I leave the HDD, RAM and the operating system, if you let windows 7 it will run smooth because that operating system is more compatible with the hardware it has, so, if you want to use that computer I recomend you reinstaling Windows 7° Home Premium.

I loved Windows 7 but a lot of things won't run on it anymore and Microsoft isn't offering any security updates, personally I think Linux is the way to go.
@@116falconer Yeah your right, I understand that you don't want to expose to malware and other viruses. Well Linux isn't to heavy so that will be a good choice for the OS.
