I Put Windows 11 on a 2009 HP Laptop 

Do you hp computer old on install Windows 11?

I thought that the laptop had 2009 Horsepower

him: *turns it on* pc: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Him: *Presses a button* Pc: *Engine starts*

it sounded like a lawn mower

You broke the secondary WiFi antenna cable, it will still work, but you will have a bit worse WiFi reception. The display turning black for a second is a display initialisation procedure, it was probably Ram training because you reset the bios by taking out the small coin cell battery witch is why it didn't start at first. Shove an ssd in it and then put w10/11 on it, it will actually be kinda usabale, i used older computers, but I prefer w10 on theese old bricks.

2010s design somehow looks better imo

it is actually really easy to take HP laptops apart when you know what you are doing. . . Try taking apart a thinkpad.

I use a computer from 2008 with windows 11 daily and I have literally no issues. The secret is to get an SSD and upgrade the CPU. People drastically underestimate the capability of older computers.

The 2009 hp laptop don't support windows 11 versions plz downgrade to Windows 7 Professional SP1 lmao

One of the first laptop repairs I did was on the Compaq version of this HP, I had two of them and one had a bad fan while the other had a bad ram slot. I moved the fan over to the good motherboard and upgraded it to a Turion RM-72(they both were the AMD versions) Honestly these things aren't that bad to take apart, just need a bit of patience. The laptop I've struggled with the most was my Sister's old silver Pavilion 15, that was a nightmare. Though I still haven't gotten to replacing the failing hard drive on my iBook G4, which I'm sure is worse.

I installed Win11 also on an ancient HP Compaq 6820S from like 2007 and it was running actually not bad, if it had an SSD I would absolutely call it usable

I was working with the same laptop recently, it's built so you push everything on the front, from the back. And the back cover pops off once you get keyboard out. No need for taking off the screen and dissasembling the top half of the laptop. The sound you we're hearing was something hitting the fan blades. Very good video tho keep it up!

man you deleting the recovery partition of the windows 7 hp oem thing just hurts my soul. Except for that W vid keep it up!

I remember taking apart my mother's 2007 HP to upgrade it's specs & upgrade it to Windows 11. It has hard but worth it! She got so mad at the technician after I showed her Windows 11 on it, because he told her it won't be able to be updated to windows 11!

What about Windows 11 IOT LTSC Enterprise in this laptop ?

I actually own a HP laptop that is old (EliteBook 6930p)

one thing to avoid in the future: using a hp laptop, or any hp computer in general

back in the day i used to install osx86 leopard on it those laptops where awsome

What's this computer?

Well, after seeing the process of Disassemble from beginning until end, I think... If My Mom's Asus laptop even my new Ideapad Laptop, is simpler to disassemble (takes less time), almost like Framework have (while Framework maybe much better than 2 Laptops I wrote above when comes to disassembly)

Does a painstaking disassembly and reassembly of a laptop only to clean a half broken cooling fan. Oh, and also installs Windows 11 on that 15 year old machine, but only allocates 3 minutes of the video to that. Weird!

The lawnmower sound was epic. Broke a cable? No problem. As long as it works 😂 As someone who did laptop repairs for the last few years, in can be VERY frustrating. Especially the ones that put the RAM on the other side of thr motherboard.

Surprisingly enough I'm using the same exact same HP G60 laptop to write this comment. I went and put a SSD, max the RAM out to 4GB and installed Windows 7 Super Lite on it alongside Nightmayor's modded Intel 4500 GPU drivers (meant for Windows 10 and 11). With proper tweaking I was able to watch this video at 720p 30 fps max using the h264ify extension/addon with Supermium and MyPal browsers. I haven't tried gaming on it yet but I'm guessing 2D games would run fine on it, as well as light 3D games. But as said on Nightmayor's tenforums post there's a bug with his driver regarding about OpenGL error. Intel disabled something with the drivers and he cannot re enable it, so there's a bug with photo and video editing program. Which in this case Photoshop CS6, if you use the GPU Acceleration alongside the pen and custom shape tool the whole canvas goes gray and it makes it unusable unless you deselect GPU Acceleration. On the other hand Blender 2.79b runs great tho, rendering using the "Blender Render" made it render a bit faster. There's also Royal BNA and PHDGD GPU drivers which are older but I haven't tried them yet. A lighter Linux distro would probably make it more faster. Lastly great video showing this chunky laptop, I love how you edited this and shared your insights on it.

I'm surprised at how difficult it was for you because I also have a HP laptop from 2010 that run Windows 7 on it I got it from my granddad it was my nan's laptop the reason why I got it from my granddad is because my nan sadly passed away back in 2020 and the moment I got it the hard drive immediately started dying on it before I had the chance to back everything up on it website where I could gather some back on it I replaced it with a similar hard drive that also died the battery was also fucked on it replaced the battery and instead of guessing another similar hard drive I just swapped out with a 500 gigabyte SSD flashed windows 11 on it using WinToUsb got that up and running and I split the partition in half and I also installed Windows 7 on it so now I have Windows 7 and windows 11 on it just so that way its stays original and have new software on it at the same time

No joke I used to run one of these back in 2013, my grandma gave it to me haha, ram Windows Vista on it for a while, and then I put Linux on it and used it like that till 2017 when it died randomly

Whenever I open a laptop, I look for a guide or manual to do that. Mostly those can be found. Ans sometimes a RU-vidr already made a video about is. And that all together saved me a lot of time! But that laptop you have there was ... well... dusty.... 🤭 Another thing: you installed Windows 11 on it. Try Tiny 11, that is Windows 11, without all the crap that comes with Windows. And I presume you used Rufus to pass the TPM 2.0 and processor check?

I also had an hp laptop in 2009 given by my grandpa. Also windows 11 just froze on startup on my 2021 laptop...

now just change hdd to cheap ssd and the os as Tiny11 + cut off unneccary apps/start processes (msconfig). then all drivers install. brave browser would be my recomendation for any pc more than 8 years of life today (options make it even lighter/faster to use)

I still use my Asus K42f from 2011 I think? yesterday I had to repaste it and it worked fine with windows 10 though... My only issue with it is that I can't connect it to wifi or else the fans turns into plane mode lol I'm only keeping it because it's unique in someways and it has a DvD drive so whenever I wanna use my old DvD I just have to connect it to the Tv using HDMI

My 2012 dell e6530 is rocking a windows 10 installation! Smooth as butter with an ssd (even on 8gb ram) minus a VERY loud fan

bro you have a good future in this work keep going

As interesting as seeing windows 11 on old tech, no windows OS will ever be better than windows 7. I'm still going to use it on all of my machines that support it until its unusable - but considering server 2008 R2 is still receiving patches, I don't think it will be a problem.

Put modern software on simple hardware. Greg Baloney: What could possibly go wrong?

I HAVE THE SAME LAPTOP (my grandma gave me it) I STILL NEED A CHARGER FOR IT

watching this on a 2008 hp on windows 10, they don't make them like they used to :/

i think you have a broken fan also yea the thermal paste is another thing you should change. and dont use windows 11 please (well without destroying it by using the chris titus tool, open shell, retrobar, explorerpatcher etc until its virtually unrecognisable and breaks as soon as you use windows update) tldr linux is a smarter option

i think u may need to change to thermal paste lol

I thought it said 'i put windows 11 on a 2009 horspower laptop'

your lucky you got to wor with out going in the bios since ti wont let you imstall it with out sercure boot enabled. the cpu and tpm you can bypass but i have a laptop i want put on but there no secure boot

Him: *turns it on* The laptop: Lawnmower mode!

0:10 That thing sounds rougher than the Verhovina my neighbor is allowing to turn to dust for fun, that's a big achievement.

@GregBaloney did you repaste the heatsink?

The fan have bad or unoiled bearings, or a cracked/missing blade.

I put windows 11 on an old Dell T5400. It smashed it.

I have old 2006 hp laptop even with ssd installed it run very slow💀

I installed windows server 2022 on dell studio 1555 😅😅😅😅 still work like charm tho

it'll work perfect with ssd+windows 10 or 8.1

I wonder if u can clean my Dell XPS M1530 😂

yea, put arch on it, no windows on such old stuff man, no good for hardware

I have same one but stock was vista but i enyered windows 10

i have a 2009 hp pc with windows 11 and its not even supposed to have windows 11 its supposed to have windows 10

Old boys are easier to repair save the particulars that are like specific

Maybe you could of upgraded the CPU to the amd turion and the GPU to the nvidia gforce 8200m I have the hp g60 with that CPU and GPU and it works great with windows 10

I had the almost same laptop thats dead now Gpu is cooked

I have an HP laptop from 2020 and to be honest it's not too different

i installed windows 11 on a 2006 laptop

I thought this Laptop would be as easy as Framework does, I mean tearing it down 😅😂. I think Older Laptop were just modular and fairly easy to disassembly (depends on the Models and brand)

Nice video

Is that a laptop or motorcycle

An SSD upgrade would do wondere

Nice video mate, good editing, keep it up

I have a Compaq Presario CQ56 Celeron 900 still has Windows 7. Should I torcher the laptop by Installing Windows 11 or even Windows 10? BTW it only has 2 GB Ram and it actually runs pretty good for a Celeron with 2 GB. I am not going to take it apart other than taking the door off ram and hard drive no way Jose!!! I can repair Desktops but Laptops no way Jose!!!

wait holy shit i still have this laptop

interesting video, i remember taking apart a hp a year ago and i just forgot how to reassamble it and.. let's say it's sitting in my closet waiting to be put back together 😆

This is in pristine condition. Meanwhile by HP Probook from college was used as a frisbee.

it is either crying for help, or is powered by a lawnmower

I had that exact laptop lmao

I opened it a different way on Lenovo computer unfortunately the same issue you didn't even realize that you just broke one of the Wi-Fi antennas I'm sorry that I have to break it to you but this also happened to me I wanted to display off because it was broken DON'T DO IT IT'S NOT WORTH IT

I think you shoud install tiny11 on it, its windows 11 but with less bloatware and better performance

I have that same laptop

*I Voluntarily Installed A Bundle of 500 Rootkits on a 2009 HP Laptop and Gave it My Info

Raising hell itself

Mines was windows 7

try win 11 lite .

why are you whereing gloves

12:06 air conditioner noise🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Him: Turns it on Pc: You revived me finally after idk how much years

Those fans should get fixed. But good vid. 👍

its just a shame to see that humanity is getting worse and it goes to show that people dont respect people who do hard work the fact u r brave and not shy in the camera in itself such a big thing of urself is just a facination hope you will be succesfull

i cant believe that ur making soo good content and seeing you with not even 1k subscribers that means everyone does like but dont worry i am a supporter of you ❤ you

I have a dell latitude 7490, and I repaired it at least 51 times (not joking). It is actually pretty easy to open. All I have to do is unscrew 8 screws and lift the bottom cover off.

try windoes 10 on it

bro that fan needs a replacing for real

Tbh all you had to do was make rufus iso but your way works

this was a fun video :)

These cables are for the WIFI. in other words. you cant use wifi no more

Is that the fan thats crying out for help

Hp makes some of the junkiest laptops out there 😂

This video is underrated af, but hey the laptop sound like a car 😅

Why tf does this have so many views???

Skills issues 😂

why didn't you remove the dvd drive?

You goddamn guy. Windows 7 has a place in my heart.

did you upgrade the ram and upgrade to ssd?

replace thermal paste please do not ever install windows 11 on an old laptop. ever. or even not install windows 11 on any laptop, as it is horrible.

You can turn the laptop into a DIY home server for jellyfin or plex. It would work.

Can I install Windows 11 on my MacBook Air that way I have a product key but it’s for Windows 10

Nice vid!
