Hi Brian,A while back about 2 years ago you made video about Windows 10 search not working typing on the keyboard doesn't work,well thanks to you,I resolved it,thank you so much thank you very much I was getting a bit cranky with Windows 10 You are a lifesaver for solving problems thanks a million👍👍👌🤗🤗 I scored two computers from the dumpster I was quite lucky,Dell optiplex 790,i7, I don't know if you familiar of it, I fix them up I gave them a good clean and fresh terminal paste on the CPU,and I downloaded to Windows 10 to them. (my question is) I have an amplifier Denon, my amp is a bit old it's got no HDMI in the back of it but I have optical fibre and coaxial cable in the back of the amp,is there a sound card you recommend me to,that fits in the Dell case,I have two slots in the Dell computer one blue and black and video card I want to buy ,which one you recommend me as well with HDMI because I have a 65 inch 4k television that fits in the case as well, I am on a budget something not too fancy Thanks Brian regards John👌👍👍🙂

I upgraded my Samsung laptop that was over 8 years old at the time, with ram from 3GB to 8GB and ssd 500GB from the hdd of 320GB running Windows 10 and has improved it no end. Worth the small investment and far cheaper than replacing it.

@johncate9541 5 лет назад

My wife has a Toshiba C655, a model from the same era and very similar to the one in the video. We went one step further and replaced the second-generation Core i3 for an i5 of the same TDP, installed an SSD and increased the RAM from 4 GB to 10 GB. It was noticeably much faster; she said it was like having a new machine. A lot of times, even old Core 2 laptops are useful if you just put in an SSD.

@richardharding9385 5 лет назад

The SSD might have been a few seconds slower if you had installed all the apps that were on the old drive. I've done this on an old HP G56 laptop & installed Linux Mint, now it flies.

@Britec09 5 лет назад

Not a lot of apps installed

@ThatBritishGuy 5 лет назад

Yeah i was thinking the same thing, he shoulda cloned the drive for a fair test but still, woulda been 20s max anyway, my SSD which is filled with apps and files only takes 11s to boot.

@Britec09 5 лет назад

This previous install was virtually a fresh install, apart from about 5 apps

@ThatBritishGuy 5 лет назад

@@Britec09 Yeah i gotcha plus even with those apps normally an SSD avg's a 10s boot time anyway cheap or not so it doesn't matter that much compared to a mechanical, well worth the upgrade. Turns old thought to be slow pc's into fast new pc's.

@blimpman1 5 лет назад

ThatBritishGuy I upgrade and fix systems with bad hard drives frequently. I would only clone the mechanical drive if there were unique apps that could not be reinstalled and that the customer could not live without. Much better to reinstall windows fresh. There is some much clutter in a system that was maybe upgraded from 7 to 10. Fresh installs and then copying user data to the new drive works the best in my experience. Been following Brian for a long time, great work!!

It was great to be playing Civilization and find out I'd been walking for three hours without noticing! However, I REALLY miss WOW and was yearning to play again. When I looked at the gaming laptop prices I ran away in fear. So, on an upgrading we will go! And to make things even better, my old laptop is also a Toshiba that came with the same Windows. Yay!

i have to say this though, i got an old laptop, just simply wiping everything thats on it and reinstall a clean version of windows drastically speeds up the computer, from 5-10 minutes it took to open a single file to only taking 5-10 seconds to open, i plan on upgrading and fixing it up as some components are damaged, and make a good media device out of it, thank you for your video~

Hi, I recently upgraded an older HP laptop. It had two bays internally so I was able to install an SSD alongside my 1Tb HDD. I also doubled the ram to 16gb but I am still experiencing issues which seems to be down to the onboard graphics. It has windows 10 installed and office 2010. I have been told there is no way to upgrade the onboard graphics. Any alternative suggestions on how I could improve the graphics performance?

@eminusipi 4 года назад

I upgraded my old Acer laptop with a 240GB ssd replacing the 500GB Hd. Wow! Before the upgrade it took minutes to become usable but now about 30 seconds with Win10 upgrade. Cost about USD $30. Now that same drive jumped to $36. I'm in the process of upgrading my Dell 5770 to a m.2 NVME 500GB. Waiting on the drive from Amazon. I'll review your video on Macrium Reflect to transfer the OS. Presently this Dell takes forever to boot up W10Pro. I just hope the Windows updates don't break it again! I did put those on hold and hopefully that will solve that problem! Update! I got my m.2 nvme ssd today. I installed it and used Macrium reflect free to put it on that ssd and changed the boot order. I can't believe that it actually worked (it took about an hour to copy). Now instead of minutes it boots up in about 30 seconds. It turned a snail into a rabbit! Thanks!

I just replaced the drive in my C855 (Sandybridge i3) to an SSD. I went from a Seagate 500GB 7200RPM to the Samsung EVO 860 500GB. Cloned the contents, and it's like night an day when it comes to the boot time. Next upgrade is the CPU, going to replace the i3-2370m with an i5-2540m. I already researched and the board in this model supports the 2540m with no modifications. I use this system primarily for data backup and recovery.

@coooooooolguy 5 лет назад

Having an ordinary HDD on any laptop is now an old fashion and i know this from like spending my whole life with PC . The start up and the files on the C or the OS partition makes a lot of influence in starting up or the shut down of a PC. It is a real boost when put more RAM with an SSD as much of boost lead the laptop to run faster. The clone as most said about. It can be useful only if the same Disk storage are alike if i am not mistaken. But missed watching your videos and way to go.

@robertkubrick3738 5 лет назад

He could have saved money on the RAM buying 4GB to bring it up to 8GB dual channel which at the same time given the igpu a +10% boost in dual channel, plus now there would be enough system RAM for the igpu to borrow the maximum 2GB. The igpu can't borrow RAM that the CPU is using! The money saved would put you close to a 1TB SSD.

It isn't just how long it takes to get to the desktop. It's how long it takes to get to a USABLE desktop. I just finished working on a friends laptop of similar vintage to this one and the CPU was pegged at 90% or higher for 15 minutes at startup and the hard drive was pegged at 100% for 45 minutes doing all of the crap that Windows 10 does in the background (checking for updates, telemetry, etc.). The only two programs that start with Windows (aside with what Windows itself start) were Unchecky and Classic Shell. Even disabling them didn't make any difference in how long it takes for the hard drive to stop thrashing about. Cloned the spinning rust to an SSD and it only took about 5 minutes for the CPU and Drive to finish all of the background crap and drop to normal idle. She's very happy now.

I have partially upgraded my Toshiba Satellite L450-136 with an SSD drive and Windows 10 but I was told I would not be able to upgrade the 3gb RAM (which is currently installed).... can you confirm this or can I upgrade the RAM? Oh and a rather aged Intel® Celeron® Processor 900.... any hope for this old stager?

@robertkubrick3738 5 лет назад

Possibly it was running Windows 32 bit and they meant it wouldn't be able to address more than 3 and a fraction GB of RAM? The cure is windows 64 bit if that's the case. Look and see which version 32/64 bit you are running. Microsoft doesn't care which you run, your key is good for either of 32/64 bit. Hope this helps.

There's not much hope for a PC with a single-core processor (although I use one with XP + a very light AV!), but a dual core one is worthwhile.

@anthonynorton666 2 года назад

On some PCs you can upgrade to a dual core processor. Granted you're going to have to do your homework. The best reassurance is finding a mention in a forum from someone who did the same thing on your model and use the exact CPU they did.

@willaimkazer9754 5 лет назад

Upgrade to Windows 10 ASAP. Windows 7 support will end soon in January 2020. I have it on all of my PC's. A video should be made of that on how to do it. Britec is very clear on how to do things like that. It will already be activated from Windows 7. Do it to avoid potential future problems now.

@6:12, it's the RANDOM read and writes that is where the HDD greatly struggles, not at the sequential. Britech, you should have let the test finish to show how low the random read and writes are
