    It is absolutely A M A Z I N G how much better a computer runs with an SSD over a traditional hard drive, but especially so for a laptop. For two reasons. One, SSDs are a lot faster. In a lot of laptops (and portable devices) with a traditional hard drive this is even more pronounced because laptop hard drives usually spin at even slower speeds than a normal computer's hard drive. Two, virtual memory is used more in smaller computers because they usually have less RAM than a full computer. (For those that don't know, virtual memory is when the computer uses your hard drive as pretend RAM because you don't have enough real RAM. Which lets you do things, but is s l o w.) And SSDs have the added benefit of handling being bumped around extremely well because they're completely electronic, not mechanical like a traditional hard drive. So awesome upgrade choice!
    (For those wondering why laptops and portable devices might actually use a traditional hard drive over an SSD, there's one simple reason: SSDs are faster, but they store less information. A LOT less. BUT with advances in technology making things cheaper, an SSD today with the same storage size as a laptop hard drive of yesteryears can be quite possible and affordable, letting you upgrade that old laptop without losing storage capacity.)

  • @NewLERoyUser
    @NewLERoyUser 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That is what my school does. They no longer purchase new desktop computers. Instead, they either upgrade the internal components of old computers to SSDs and add more RAM, purchase refurbished computers or convert them into ThinClients.

  • @thebluedinosaur3107

    This helps me have more confidence in making my old laptop way better, my first thought was exactly what you did, switching HDD to an SSD but I thought I didn't rlly want to sacrifice some storage just for faster boot so I want to add an NVMe because my laptop supports it, clone HDD to NVMe and then use NVMe as boot drive, the HDD will be used as for storage and NVMe will be used for boot such as app boot time, windows startup etc.
    And because one of the ram is soldered I can't really upgrade more but I have 1 more slot available so in this case I can buy another ram same details (4 gb 2400mhz) and put it for dual channel and make use of dual channel

    Was there a reason why Windows 10 wouldn't install on a USB flash drive plugged into a USB 3.0 port? I never had any issues with that. I've installed Win10 on laptops (Dell, HP and Lenovo) that had USB 3.0 in them and they all worked. Maybe you were referring to Windows 7 since it has no built-in support for USB 3.0. Also I actually burn an ISO of Windows 10 on a 120 GB SSD to install Windows 10 and noticed it's a lot faster to install the OS. You have to use a SATA to USB adapter though.

    This also reminds me that somewhere I think I still have my old Viliv S5 that I never did finish mucking about with when I failed to upgrade its hard drive so that I could upgrade it to Windows 7. I wonder if I can get that little bugger up and running again on either Linux or Windows 10. Probably not, because, you know, drivers. But could be a fun thing to try if I can find it.
    (For those of you wondering, the Viliv S5 was a full PC in a 5 inch screen tablet format. It was absolutely bonkers good for working on the go, especially with a wireless keyboard and mouse for a temporary office, and it made a great in-car GPS on your way to get there.)

    So I have an Asus laptop E1 Vision and since I play modded minecraft on it I had to look at my RAM amount to have certain modpack(s) run smoother and I had noticed that I have 3.5 GB of RAM in total. This laptop is the exact same laptop I got minecraft on about 7-9 years ago. And my dream now is to stream Minecraft and since this laptop you fixed seems similar to mine I was wondering if you can lend me some tips. I dont have any money to spend and my parents are kinda leaving me with this. But I would really appreciate if you can help me out.

There's just programs and stuff on it I have no idea what it is or if remove it what it will do in the actual running of it... I'm also a writer so it definitely needs lots of space.
