Mohammed Zayed RLY? How do you plan on installing Windows via USB then? It's gonna boot into SSD and just stay there, BIOS order should always, at least IMO be that USB's and Discs should boot first. It makes no sense to have your storage boot first. Yes, gives you 2 seconds faster boot but it's not going to make a difference.
For such a well-versed expert, not having the boot order with the drive first is a Massive n00b cock-up, it would probably boot in under 10 seconds. It also make me wonder how much faster the 1 1/2 minutes boot time with the old hard drive would have reduced. Naughty Jayz lol

Hey Jay, Why don't you have any tutorial videos about post- build. For example, updating BIOS, testing components, changing Memory speed, installing drives / Windows, adding additional HHD / SSD, configurating the system......stuff like that. I have found very few videos about this stuff, its usually all about building the PC and the video ends once the power is switched on. You're always asking for suggestions on videos to make- I think these would be great as the topics are seldom covered in detail and it would help first time builders, thanks.
most laptops/desktops don't have the option to change those settings. It is the gaming platforms that do the whole custom bios and custom power supply options.
My order is usually floppy -> CD -> external (like usb) -> fixed drive. Of course everything that is not in the build is just skipped, but it never hurts to be able to boot a live medium without needing toi reconfigure the boot first.
I have upgraded more than a couple of computers by adding an SSD drive as the primary drive. If you do nothing else to an old computer, you will feel that you could use the old computer you added an SSD to a few years longer because it became faster. Jay was very helpful and I hope more people take his advice since the prices of SSD drives have been dropping dramatically in the last year.

Your computer will only be as fast as your slowest component. Your slowest component will always be the non-volatile storage. This is why M.2/NVMe has improved boot times and the general responsiveness of computers so drastically. A solid state drive is by far the best upgrade anyone can make to ANY computer.
I think it may be interesting to show a full laptop upgrade path. That is, show how you can upgrade your RAM, processor, hard drive, as well as cleaning the fan, replacing the thermal paste on both the GPU and CPU in a laptop. I find that a lot of folks do not know that they can upgrade all of these things and buy the components second-hand via eBay and Newegg and give their laptop a new lease on life. As a further suggestion, show folks how to use the Intel "Product Specifications" tool to teach people how to find their CPU socket type, TDP and then how to locate the highest-spec CPU which will fit with their laptop (and its acceptable power limit). The Intel tool can also be used to figure out if their laptop is using a soldiered CPU or one which can be replaced. Here is a good example: A Dell laptop my friend had was showing its age -- had an old Intel Core i3-2310M processor from 2011: ark.intel.com/products/52220/- Using that information, I was able to query all CPUs this machine could support and got a cheap second-hand Intel Core i7-2640M processor: ark.intel.com/Search/FeatureFilter?productType=processors&MaxTDPMax=35&SocketsSupported=PPGA988 Maybe show your viewers on how to use CPU-Z to read the RAM specification and how to find their motherboard manual/specification and upgrade the RAM via Newegg, etc. I used this method to bump the laptop memory from 4GB to 16GB and the laptop had a new lease on life!
Most processors are soldered to the board in laptops now, so unless you're Luis Rossmann, you can't upgrade. Not to mention that a series like that would be a huge undertaking, considering how many types of laptops there are.
They are integrating more and more into it just like in phones. There used to be ways to upgrade the CPUI, memory, storage, battery, optical drives, express cards and more. Nowadays half the stuff isn't even included anymore and the rest is soldered in.
potato potato potato potato potato potato potato I've seen some older AMD motherboards that use to have Nvidia Chipsets back in the Athlon/Athlon II days that when the BIOS was reset to default either by the user, or a bad CMOS battery, or the BIOS would just goof would choose the Nvidia bootage aka LAN boot as the first boot device by default, but these days it's not common unless someone sets it up that way themselves.
I have a laptop from 2007 that is a core2duo and DDR2 ram. I put the max 8gb of supported ram, and an SSD in it, and it honestly felt like a newer laptop. everything opened quickly, it booted fast, and it worked fast.
I've had a pre-built in 2008 PC since 2010 with core2 duo E8200 (2.67ghz) 32-bit - yes, 32bit.. - architecture, maxed 4gb ddr3 ram (plus an external Radeon HD 3600). Honestly it works like a charm, but I noticed the difference when I installed an SSD on it. I was amazed at how much faster Windows 7 Ultimate fully booted. It went from 5 mins boot time with only Microsoft services on, to 40 seconds with everything enabled. Buy SSDs freely guys it will save your lives! And they're way cheaper now too!
I have done that with a MSI GT725 Intel Core 2 Duo P9500 @ 2.9 GHz / ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4850. its a Laptop from 2009 and now with a SSD its amazingly fast and not only that thanks to the Mobility Radeon HD 4850 can you still play some modern games and many older Games its really good for a 9 years old Laptop.
Windows 10 N is exactly the same as Windows 10 just without the media player made for the European market, the only Windows 10 without bloat is Enterprise and LTSB versions
My dad bought a laptop with an i7 on it thinking that it would be blazing fast. It came with a 1TB 5400 RPM drive and it took nearly 10 minutes to boot the damn thing. Swapping out the HDD for an SSD was an insane difference.
I did this on my dads computer, except he was on like a celeron. The cpu was so slow it bottlenecked the ssd. I found out his motherboard accepted a q6600, problem solved. Its a powerful little internet setup now.
Got a motherboard with a q6600 here earlier yesterday one of asus best ddr2 motherboards i think p5q premium, 6 gb ram in total 2x2 gb sticks of 1066 mhz ram which is awesome for overclocking & then a 800 mhz 1 gb stick & random 667 mhz stick heh. I'll probably set up windows xp & dualboot windows 7 on it as a testrig for various hardware as my cousin got my athlon II x3 450 processor in his rig with 14 gb ram now. (another relative had a am3+ motherboard left over that overclocks well but doesnt unlock cpu cores (sits stable at 3.4 ghz atm with a amd phenom cooler for now.) (1x8 gb 1600 mhz with that motherboard & 3x2 gb 1333 he got from me.) I do have a athlon II x3 445 in my previous windows xp rig that im currently trying too sell off but might experiment with that fast ddr2 ram in that rig & with the core 2 quad along with a pentium dualcore e2160 at 1.8 ghz.
Mr. Miyagi enlighten me with your wisdom. How do I know which SSD fits better for my old laptop? I mean, which one is better for a Toshiba Satellite L305-SP5806R running at 2.00 GHz of an Intel Pentium DualCore CPU T3200 with just 1.00 GB of RAM? I'm a noob and still learning more about computers and stuff. Thank you in advance! Greetings from Ukraine.
I've got an old dell i3 laptop from 2013 and I got a $30 240GB ssd and upgraded it from 4GB of Ram to 8GB sand it now will boot to the complete desktop in 16 seconds. It really made this thing pretty snappy.
Please open it,repleace the termal paste,clean the Fans!!!, thats super importand on a old laptop because the chipset,CPU, etc. Could die from hight temperatures!!!!,thats super impprtand!!!!!please add another Video were you do this. And PLEASE go into the BIOS and select the SSD AS first bootoption so that it doesnt try anymore to Boot from the network!
I have 1st gen core i3 laptop with 2 GB ram. It was like opening chrome is 3 min task. Then upgraded from HDD to 2nd hand SSD and one more used 2gb ram (total cost 15+30=45-20=25 dollar, I sold my old HDD). Now it becomes dual channel RAM, and SSD both made my laptop even better than 7th gen laptop with HDD. I feel like I can use it more 3/4 years, I also recommend to clean the fan.
I had just upgraded my old system, and while it was faster, but not as much as I expected considering considering it was an almost total rebuild. Finally broke down and replaced my OS drive with an SSD. And like you, I shaved almost a full minute off of load times. And that is with all the added start up items. Best money I have ever spent.
Ditto. Absolutely NO reason to have the network boot first, even better, if possible, disable it. With most systems built in the last 10 years having a key option to select boot device, always have the hard drive first. RichE
@@deenindutch5988 My boot order.... HDD, then Nothing, all the other options are set to "Disabled", who even wants a pc to even look for other boot devices, and if the occasion arises, just change the BIOS setting accordingly 🤷🤷🤷
@@-Gadget- er... Who wants to even look for other devices at boot??? What are we running here, a tablet??? I wish the tablets I have used would boot from among other things, the SD-card, to no avail, and to answer your question, I do... every day, too, Not because I have to, but because I want to... I use it so much that it would be pointless to disable it!
The heart is the power unit, since it drives the organism. Then the CPU/GPU/RAM are the brain, since they storage data and process information. And the I/O are the limbs, the way with which the brain interacts with the environment.
That is one of the things I've completely forgotten over time. And it's the one thing I used to think of primarily before purchasing a hard drive (desktop). I guess it's back to basics. . . Thanks for the reminder!!
Why didn't you just change the boot order in the BIOS to have the SSD priority number one after installing Windows, and then also avoid that network boot?
Because the boot order does absolutely nothing for overall system performance, loading programs, or being able to breathe life into a PC stamped for E-Waste. You completely missed the point of the video are fucking ignorant.
I would like to add that I have had many a laptop come to me for repair that was totally clogged up with grime and dust. The fans in some cases would barely turn. Fixing that usually helped immensely with speed too, since a hot CPU is going to throttle down.
I don't even think he could have messed with the boot order in the first place because it's a Dell laptop, I have a modified HP Envy desktop and when it was fullstock (MOBO was an "Orchid 3", couldn't find much info about it), I tried to go into the BIOS and I couldn't change the boot order, and the BIOS was a custom HP BIOS for HP computers specifically (or so I think.) I think the laptop's BIOS would have just been Apple'd just like my desktop would (way less options.) Although I don't have much experience with DELL computers, I think they might be in a boat really close to HP.
Actually, I feel we've gone backwards. Now most modern laptops won't even allow you to open them, or at least, get to their internal components without disassembling everything (Mainly due to the increasing trend of making 'unibody' devices, and for marketing reasons: Non-serviceable devices means buying a new one if something goes bad or paying a huge amount of money to send it to an official repairing station OR trying to repair it by yourself, voiding the warranty). On the other hand, I've got a 2000 Compaq laptop that requires just two screws to access the HD, and another two to access the RAM. Oh, you can even swap out the CD and floppy drives if they go bad, or if you just want to put other interfaces instead! In my case, I've got a laptop, which is from 2016, that requires just 6 screws to get inside, but I don't want to risk voiding the warranty... EDIT: By chance, was your 1999 laptop an iBook? Because those darned things were near-impossible to service. Swapping just the hard drive required you yo disassemble the entire laptop. No joke.
SSD Upgrades have been my bread and butter for performance upgrade on my PC repair business the past couple of years. That and combined with the occasional RAM upgrade turns old PCs into speedy machines. Clients love it
No fair Jay making Dells look so easy to work on. Here when I recently replaced the original HDD in my old 2011 Dell Inspiron 14r n4110 i3 2330m with a 860 evo 256gb SSD. I basically had the entire laptop apart to access the HDD behind the motherboard. After installing the new SSD with a fresh 1803 media tool it works way faster and no more grinding sounds XD.
The SSD also will allow the battery to last longer. I have an 3rd gen i5 laptop, it took FOREVER to boot up in Win7. Put in an SSD and the four color dots don't even get together and the login screen is there.
Upgrade #1 for any laptop needing any hardware work is an SSD. If for no other reason than to reduce the risk of data loss from dropping or bumping a spinning drive.
I'm pretty sure you can go in the BIOS and disable the booting off LAN crap at the start. I sure could with my laptops and desktop and even when I added a dedicated Ethernet card, during boot I could press a key to access the settings of the card and tell it to stfu for faster boot.
k. well.. . to give life to old machines, just add SSD and more RAM. It will speed things up a lot. Also, when using Windows, i use FolderChanger to increase my productivity overall, just to speed up my workflow as well. You will find it if you google for "folderchanger"
Took your advice and took the 1TB hdd out of my laptop and replaced it with a 120G ssd (running Arch Linux, don't need much space on the main drive) and it runs about 2x faster (boots up in seconds)! I have an adapter and can plug the hdd into the USB for storage!
My girlfriend has had her dell for the past 8 years and it ran well. I recently done everything you did in this video and there was a huge change in performance from her old HDD. also put 16 gigs of ram for the hell of it :P
What if i told you that it is actually possible to 'download' Hardware. The magic Word here is FieldProgrammableGateArray which is basically an array with Tons of transistors which can be arranged via Software and the language VHDL. So you could in theory 'Download' Hardware.
I did this last weekend on my old computer...It works great! and it does feel like a new computer..I got SSD250 gig and a 2T WD HHD for storage. Works great!
Excellent tip on SSD. I had a problem like this with my AMD rig, FX 8300 with GeForce 1050 3gb, Manjaro OS. This issues I had were slow load times for programs games etc, cpu heat of 80 degrees while playing games, frame rate lagginess, I check the company that sold me the computer and they advise to upgrade cooler to Cooler Master 212, graphics to 1080gb and a new 650 psu for a small sum of £700!!! As I didn’t have that I solved my issues by putting in an 250gb SSD boot drive from which I load my games from, and a Cooler Master 212 then I swapped my kernel form 4.14 to 4.18. All in all the net result was a boot time of 2 seconds. A temp of no more than 55 degrees while playing games, snappier load times for all programmes and frame rates are a more consistent with no lagginess and with a cost of £68.
I always go with the work desk analogy to describe hardware to people. RAM = How big your desk is (how much will fit on it at one time) Storage = Drawers under the desk for storing things CPU = How many hands can work on the desk and how fast they can move
Normal people's wallet : Credit card, cash, visiting card Jay's wallet: Threadripper, ssd It's like he went to grocery store, the cashier says cash or card.. Jay asks ssd??
You know, an even easier way to make an old computer run faster is just to install Linux on it. I've heard it has great compatibility with older hardware. I recommend Mint for a first time user as it provides a familiar aesthetic to go with the inherent ease of use and intuitiveness of Linux in general.
3rd to 4th comment replying to stop reccomending linux. The people using it don;t know what linux really is, and don't want to learn how to use it. If you were to go linux with people like that recommend ChromeOS, it's linux at its base, but less complicated.
@@Spladoinkal except that I seen people don't even know what windows they are on, I tried Linux to them, I asked me to install windows cause they can't install windows executable files, I get them cracked windows out of frustration
Linux, Mint especially, is a lot more intuitive than you think. There's one place to change settings, as opposed to Windows where 3/4 of the functionality is still only accessible via the W7 Control Panel. You have one Root user who is able to do anything, as opposed to Windows with a seemingly half done administration system where anyone that isn't an Admin can barely sneeze without being asked for a password. And even Admins aren't able to modify everything. Linux was made to be lightweight, customizable, secure, and intuitive. People just need to get used to it a little. It's a new thing! And Linux just got even better with the introduction of Steam Play which allows ALL Windows games to be run on Linux with the click of the "Install" button! steamcommunity.com/games/221410/announcements/detail/1696055855739350561
I know it's has been a long time since you made this video, but let me tell you that purchasing a ssd instead of using the old hdd has improved the speed of my laptop A LOT.
I saw the data recovery video and thought, I wish he did some video making the computer faster and whatnot, searched for an old computer speed up video in youtube and bam, the same computer, veeeery happy to find what I wanted to see, cheers.
There are several Linux distros that are quite good at bringing some new life into older computers. You can just run it from a thumb drive. Better than spending a lot on old computers. Just a thought.
Mr. Jay, I hope you disabled the boot priority thingy considering LAN, so that so, they don't waste time everytime when they boot-up this laptop. 😂 (At 8:26)
Just disable the PXE boot option in BIOS
No joke. It would eliminate the ~20 seconds it's taking it to check for a PXE boot option on the LAN.
It's usually* disabled by default.
I came here to make that very comment.
I had a dell studio 1555 (around 2008 or something) it had the pxe enabled by default, I think dell messed this up at the time
he doesn't need to disable, he could just change the boot order.

That boot time is still slow though. Why would you set LAN to top boot priority?
potato potato potato potato potato potato potato I've seen some older AMD motherboards that use to have Nvidia Chipsets back in the Athlon/Athlon II days that when the BIOS was reset to default either by the user, or a bad CMOS battery, or the BIOS would just goof would choose the Nvidia bootage aka LAN boot as the first boot device by default, but these days it's not common unless someone sets it up that way themselves.
Some newer Dell laptops still have network boot as default. Also a single Hard Drive set to RAID mode too. Hmmm
It is still better than to boot from a potato as top priority.
He shaved off nearly a full minute, though...
It took 15 seconds to boot, you don't count the bios. He should of changed boot priority.
I have a laptop from 2007 that is a core2duo and DDR2 ram. I put the max 8gb of supported ram, and an SSD in it, and it honestly felt like a newer laptop. everything opened quickly, it booted fast, and it worked fast.
I've had a pre-built in 2008 PC since 2010 with core2 duo E8200 (2.67ghz) 32-bit - yes, 32bit.. - architecture, maxed 4gb ddr3 ram (plus an external Radeon HD 3600). Honestly it works like a charm, but I noticed the difference when I installed an SSD on it. I was amazed at how much faster Windows 7 Ultimate fully booted. It went from 5 mins boot time with only Microsoft services on, to 40 seconds with everything enabled. Buy SSDs freely guys it will save your lives! And they're way cheaper now too!
I have done that with a MSI GT725 Intel Core 2 Duo P9500 @ 2.9 GHz / ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4850. its a Laptop from 2009 and now with a SSD its amazingly fast and not only that thanks to the Mobility Radeon HD 4850 can you still play some modern games and many older Games its really good for a 9 years old Laptop.

My dad bought a laptop with an i7 on it thinking that it would be blazing fast. It came with a 1TB 5400 RPM drive and it took nearly 10 minutes to boot the damn thing. Swapping out the HDD for an SSD was an insane difference.
10 minutes? That sounds like the Hard Drive was on it's way out. No way should it take 10 minutes, unless it's doing critical updates or some shit.
Was a new system at the time, but could have been faulty. Probably a mixture of that and an overly bloatwared windows 8.
Install more RAM, and add an (aliteration) SSD. Oh, if it is just websurfing etc, you can totally install Linux on the machine, and it will fly!
I did this on my dads computer, except he was on like a celeron. The cpu was so slow it bottlenecked the ssd. I found out his motherboard accepted a q6600, problem solved. Its a powerful little internet setup now.
Still use a q6600 in my htpc, still awesome and costs less then a big mac.
It benefits these days from being such a common beast back in the day, meaning you can pick up one used for next to nothing.
i literally threw away my Q6600 pc at the junkyard in 2009
Got a motherboard with a q6600 here earlier yesterday one of asus best ddr2 motherboards i think p5q premium, 6 gb ram in total 2x2 gb sticks of 1066 mhz ram which is awesome for overclocking & then a 800 mhz 1 gb stick & random 667 mhz stick heh.
I'll probably set up windows xp & dualboot windows 7 on it as a testrig for various hardware as my cousin got my athlon II x3 450 processor in his rig with 14 gb ram now. (another relative had a am3+ motherboard left over that overclocks well but doesnt unlock cpu cores (sits stable at 3.4 ghz atm with a amd phenom cooler for now.)
(1x8 gb 1600 mhz with that motherboard & 3x2 gb 1333 he got from me.)
I do have a athlon II x3 445 in my previous windows xp rig that im currently trying too sell off but might experiment with that fast ddr2 ram in that rig & with the core 2 quad along with a pentium dualcore e2160 at 1.8 ghz.
Mr. Miyagi enlighten me with your wisdom. How do I know which SSD fits better for my old laptop?

This is good advice. I actually did this with an old system and it boots lightning-fast now.
Haven't watched the vid yet but it's gonna be SSD (unless you've maxed out ram, in which case, download it)
I have 1st gen core i3 laptop with 2 GB ram. It was like opening chrome is 3 min task. Then upgraded from HDD to 2nd hand SSD and one more used 2gb ram (total cost 15+30=45-20=25 dollar, I sold my old HDD). Now it becomes dual channel RAM, and SSD both made my laptop even better than 7th gen laptop with HDD. I feel like I can use it more 3/4 years, I also recommend to clean the fan.
I had just upgraded my old system, and while it was faster, but not as much as I expected considering considering it was an almost total rebuild. Finally broke down and replaced my OS drive with an SSD. And like you, I shaved almost a full minute off of load times. And that is with all the added start up items. Best money I have ever spent.
Jay.... Please... Change the boot order. This is painful to watch.
And shutdown some of the useless windows services that are helping bog that boot down.
I searched too long for this comment😅 It was actually painful and you could save at least 10secs more😂
Ditto. Absolutely NO reason to have the network boot first, even better, if possible, disable it. With most systems built in the last 10 years having a key option to select boot device, always have the hard drive first.

Why didn't you just change the boot order in the BIOS to have the SSD priority number one after installing Windows, and then also avoid that network boot?
Ikr that would have reduced it by like 15 sec. Dumb jay
Some BIOS's still look for network. We have some old Dell laptops at work that do this no matter what you do from around the same time this is from.
Because the boot order does absolutely nothing for overall system performance, loading programs, or being able to breathe life into a PC stamped for E-Waste. You completely missed the point of the video are fucking ignorant.
I would like to add that I have had many a laptop come to me for repair that was totally clogged up with grime and dust. The fans in some cases would barely turn. Fixing that usually helped immensely with speed too, since a hot CPU is going to throttle down.
Couldn’t you disable the LAN boot so it skips that step. Or change the boot order.
It's not his computer, though. Maybe the owner needs it like that... or the Bios is password protected.
I don't even think he could have messed with the boot order in the first place because it's a Dell laptop, I have a modified HP Envy desktop and when it was fullstock (MOBO was an "Orchid 3", couldn't find much info about it), I tried to go into the BIOS and I couldn't change the boot order, and the BIOS was a custom HP BIOS for HP computers specifically (or so I think.) I think the laptop's BIOS would have just been Apple'd just like my desktop would (way less options.) Although I don't have much experience with DELL computers, I think they might be in a boat really close to HP.
I remember having to take a whole laptop apart to access the hard drive in 1999. Nice things have progressed since then.
Actually, I feel we've gone backwards. Now most modern laptops won't even allow you to open them, or at least, get to their internal components without disassembling everything (Mainly due to the increasing trend of making 'unibody' devices, and for marketing reasons: Non-serviceable devices means buying a new one if something goes bad or paying a huge amount of money to send it to an official repairing station OR trying to repair it by yourself, voiding the warranty). On the other hand, I've got a 2000 Compaq laptop that requires just two screws to access the HD, and another two to access the RAM. Oh, you can even swap out the CD and floppy drives if they go bad, or if you just want to put other interfaces instead! In my case, I've got a laptop, which is from 2016, that requires just 6 screws to get inside, but I don't want to risk voiding the warranty...
EDIT: By chance, was your 1999 laptop an iBook? Because those darned things were near-impossible to service. Swapping just the hard drive required you yo disassemble the entire laptop. No joke.
SSD Upgrades have been my bread and butter for performance upgrade on my PC repair business the past couple of years. That and combined with the occasional RAM upgrade turns old PCs into speedy machines. Clients love it
Change the boot order in the BIOS.. that will significantly reduce the boot time.
Oh my God!!! I had the exact same model and color laptop. I loved it. I put an SSD and it was flying.

No fair Jay making Dells look so easy to work on. Here when I recently replaced the original HDD in my old 2011 Dell Inspiron 14r n4110 i3 2330m with a 860 evo 256gb SSD. I basically had the entire laptop apart to access the HDD behind the motherboard. After installing the new SSD with a fresh 1803 media tool it works way faster and no more grinding sounds XD.
It's really easy. Just pirate a new computer.
Just start by downloading more RAM or get a HDD to SSD converter software :-D

*edgy electronic music plays while girl cancels download*
Only as a last resort, man. Piracy kills the computer business in the long run.
The SSD also will allow the battery to last longer. I have an 3rd gen i5 laptop, it took FOREVER to boot up in Win7. Put in an SSD and the four color dots don't even get together and the login screen is there.
Upgrade #1 for any laptop needing any hardware work is an SSD. If for no other reason than to reduce the risk of data loss from dropping or bumping a spinning drive.

Excellent tip on SSD. I had a problem like this with my AMD rig, FX 8300 with GeForce 1050 3gb, Manjaro OS. This issues I had were slow load times for programs games etc, cpu heat of 80 degrees while playing games, frame rate lagginess, I check the company that sold me the computer and they advise to upgrade cooler to Cooler Master 212, graphics to 1080gb and a new 650 psu for a small sum of £700!!! As I didn’t have that I solved my issues by putting in an 250gb SSD boot drive from which I load my games from, and a Cooler Master 212 then I swapped my kernel form 4.14 to 4.18. All in all the net result was a boot time of 2 seconds. A temp of no more than 55 degrees while playing games, snappier load times for all programmes and frame rates are a more consistent with no lagginess and with a cost of £68.

"what body organ wouod this be?" Yup I think all us techies have gone down that rabbit hole lol..

You know, an even easier way to make an old computer run faster is just to install Linux on it. I've heard it has great compatibility with older hardware.

Just because you think Linux is better doesn't meant people knows how to or want to use it, unless it's an Android distro
Linux, Mint especially, is a lot more intuitive than you think. There's one place to change settings, as opposed to Windows where 3/4 of the functionality is still only accessible via the W7 Control Panel. You have one Root user who is able to do anything, as opposed to Windows with a seemingly half done administration system where anyone that isn't an Admin can barely sneeze without being asked for a password. And even Admins aren't able to modify everything.
Linux was made to be lightweight, customizable, secure, and intuitive. People just need to get used to it a little. It's a new thing!
And Linux just got even better with the introduction of Steam Play which allows ALL Windows games to be run on Linux with the click of the "Install" button!
