- Today we're taking another look at the Samsung UMPC that I recently picked up. Since most of these things shipped with Vista, I figured we'd get it installed to see how the device handles it!

Thank you for uploading those recovery disks! My Q1U happens to have a functional battery so once I get XP loaded back into it it may actually find use again!
Fancy seeing you here.
WatchJohnRossGo would have been more expected given his previous experience and interest in old tech.
Thank you Michael for doing what you do, because you and LGR are the two best retro/vintage PC TH-camrs I've come across, this is a great video even though I've barely started to watch it lol
I really enjoy these Videos. It really gets me to think what else things can windows be installed on and like you said what can it be installed on. Keep up the great work MJD on videos for the education, entertainment and for bringing nostalgia to us. Appreciate your hard work and dedication.
membr
youtube is drunk
@@CharlotteKatakuriOnePiece ok
Michael, thank you very much for leaving links to the drivers in the description, because I have the same Samsung Q1 Ultra and I wanted to install Windows Vista!
Gotta love those 2.5 hour driver refresh sessions
Right on!!! I was hoping you were going to do this, thank you Michael, your quality of content never fails to entertain!
I really love how Michael takes his time to do unexpected stuff with his collection!
There's a Windows XP sticker on this device. So people think it would be Windows XP but it's just Windows Vista.
these old portable computers are so interesting and cool, i wish i had one to play around with
Same
Michael’s humor is subtle but supperrr funny lmao. Keep up the good work brother, always great content 😂👍
It was the Q1 Ultra Premium that shipped with Vista. Those models had a Core Solo vs whatever Intel chip was in the regular Q1 Ultra. The Premium was also thicker and came with a bigger battery, though the thinner battery from the non-Premium fit. There was also a docking station available for the Q1 Ultra series with a spacer that could be put in to make the non-Premium model fit properly.
The original Q1 Ultra models did ship with Vista. The model I showed was the only launch model that shipped with XP instead.
@@MichaelMJD HAHAHAHAHA My real name Is Vista Amelia Sooo... I Am The Creator Of Windows Vista And Microsoft Never Owns Windows Vista Only Me TRIGGERED BOY!
YOU TO CAT GIRL noob
@WindowsVistaGrowtopia please take medication
@@Bernardoskau They have the syndrome. It's over. o7
It (the pc) tried his best
*he tried his best/it tried its best
he’s a little confused but he’s got the spirit
Your message is confusing, but I got what you trying to say.
They (the commenter) posted a comment (I added “(the commenter)” in brackets so you could tell what my comment was about much like how you added brackets to indicate what you were talking about despite the fact it was the sole focus of the video and it would be exceedingly easy to infer what you were talking about without the brackets; in a video about installing Windows®️Vista on a Samsung®️Q1 Ultra tablet computer, “it tried its best” as a comment under the video is easy to understand as “it” referring to the Samsung®️Q1 tablet computer and therefore descriptorty brackets are not necessary and come off as patronising to the reader.)
@@rockpie.iso.tar.bz2 ok grammar Nazi
A previous employer provided me with one of these units to use as part of a utility inspection program. It came preloaded with Vista and ran beautifully. It even passed the drop test a few times and survived. Eventually it became outed due to Vista and was replaced with a laptop. It worked well for the purpose I used it for.
Dang, I love this thing. This is so good, great job! Makes me want one, now.
I love your videos, they're always so interesting. Haven't watched this one yet, but I'm sure it'll be great!
True
This is my go-to channel to sleep. Thanks mr MJD for being my comfort channel
you should try to upgrade it to every version of Windows up to the most recent one by one, to know where's the limit. Will make a great series of videos.
The Q1 reminds me so much of the WiiU's gamepad, I think both being a glossy black helps
We needed this!
I am so lucky I here 22min after vid launch!
Was just watching ur ClassiCube vid!
I’m really enjoying the wooden table, relaxing jazz music and great video quality.
Thanks so much!!
Your intro never gets old
windows vista has a cool ui, it makes me feel very cozy
agreed. too bad it came out buggy and was a bit too demanding for most computers of the time
Windows Aero is beautiful and incredible. Ditching it for MetroUI was a huge mistake.
@@arnox4554 i really like the ui of windows 7 and vista, but the vista sidebar makes me feel in a weird way, same way i feel with ubumtu
Vista is a christmas tree for no purpose but to satisfy they eyes of the user.. it drag the system down and lower the performance to make it look "pretty and nice" .. the animations was a bit over the edge as well
@@lokelaufeyson9931 If you really didn't like it, you could still use the Classic theme just fine. That's how things worked for a long while. The main theme looked really gorgeous, but would be heavier on resources, while the Classic theme would look a lot more plain but would perform better. Sometimes much better depending on how low-spec the machine was. Then, starting with Windows 8, Microsoft, in a brilliant genius move, got rid of that system entirely and forced users to use the main heavier theme only.
I'm curious to see what windows 7 would do on this. Windows 7 was faster than Vista in many ways. Also if you try upgrading from Windows XP to Vista Business it would be faster too as it doesn't have the Windows Media Center bloat which made low end PCs faster.
Win7 won't run without sse2 cpu support AFAIK which this won't have.
@@hgbugalou It will run but some updates require SSE2.
i was waiting for this! and oh isn't windows so wonderful, don't we all love spending hours uninstalling and reinstalling drivers
Your videos are always so amazing and I love them so much
Hello thanks for uploading again!
Michael please do more videos on the MSNTV if u got the 1st gen or if you found a way to connect it onine, I love your videos keep it up!!!!
seeing an old tablet with Windows XP that is being ugraded to Windows Vista is the best cool video
I remember rearly wanting one of these back in the day had a HP tablet PC I used but this looked so cool
Windows Vista was the first OS I had when I got my own PC back in the day (coming from family XP PC). being a teen at the time I didnt fully understand why everyone hated Vista. But for my needs as a WoW addict back then it was a nice OS. Second favorite OS only behind Windows 7
compared to windows 98 and 95 and later OS like windows 7, Windows vista was a bloated snail.
I don't know if it's new or something they've been doing for a while and I didn't notice before, but when you mentioned giving the video a thumbs up the widget lit up. As if I need help finding it, but it was kind of cool anyway.
I've been waiting for this video!
Keep going this those videos 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Finally! I really wanted this video!
These machines are great Windows XP devices! I have two of them now and one has Windows XP installed and the other has Debian 12 with LXDE. Debian 12 is one of the few modern Linux distros that still runs on 32 bit machines.
I really wanna see Linux on that thing! How does it run?
@@gydo1942 for the most part, it is useable, but web browsing is very difficult and slow. At best, it could be used for a little Linux terminal and some light apps.
This channel need 3.4 million subs
excellent video as always
Hey Michael, excellent work as always for your channel! I have a suggestion:
I'm starting a virtualization/archival project of the AWE Learning computers (Early Literacy Station), and I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a video on AWE? I'm only archiving versions that were based off of old releases like Windows XP or Windows Embedded 7 and I've started a Discord dedicated to the efforts. I know someone on Reddit was supposed to contribute but I don't know if it's going to happen or not. If anyone is interested and have a AWE unit to make a hard disk image out of, let me know! It would be nice to see more tech TH-camrs review this interesting piece of software that is known to remove the Windows logo on startup.
I have tested many times these types of devices. The error in the Windows assessment in these types of devices happens due to the fact that the display size of the panel is smaller than the largest video test file. In theory that should just skip the test but due to INCREDIBLY STUPID Intel driver that just crashes the video decoder when the image is larger than the rendering area. You can dig that from the logs once you dig deep enough.
Also the touch screen driver - the best version is usually the one it was bundled with. Newer version might have bugs. Also the same driver from the other UMPC devices - either newer or older might not be suitable for the specific UMPC device.
So Michael, I can easily help you with what is going on on the Q1. What you need to do is you need to go in to control panel and uninstall and disable. Net meeting, you also need to uninstall and disable outlook. Let me explain why. Net meeting and outlook both cause the operating system to lag like a son of a gun. Because they are actually both on and running in the background. 24/7 in Windows Vista. Which consumes Ram and processor usage. If you disable those and turn off the windows widgets on the side of the screen and turn off arrow, you will actually get way better performance out of that little hand held
Finally the micheal mjd video
11:44 "the assessment or other operation did not complete _succesfully_ 🤔🤔
I love your videos i just have to say... you sound like my 7th grade math teacher
Thats a quality smasnugget right there
vista yayyyy!!!
I have a boxed copy of windows Vista and just want to put it on an old system but it loves failing to authenicate the copy as support has ended and also i swear there is a wormhole in my house as my copy of XP vanished along with a copy of Command & Conquer for the PS1!. My copy of XP is a copied version though but it does work and just wish i could find it for two old systems i have just collecting dust in my attic!. Great videos btw and thank you & Happy Hollllydays one and all!!! ⛄🎄
woahhhh, never thought about this, even if they were coming with them installed
It would be really cool to see a video on the Toshiba W100, if you can find one for cheap.
It was a dual screen Windows tablet made in 2010.
Lesson learned: if your computer runs slow on Vista, don't blame the OS, blane your computer.
finally the video i want
Finally, the true potential of this netlet!!!
Mjd I love your videos
always nice to see vista getting some love. THe aesthetic is better than 7 even, which grew from vista. It was ahead of its time and a lot of the hate comes from hardware being behind software and only the unobtanium systems of the time having enough 'smash' to run vista properly. anyone thats tried vista on a phenom II or FX8350 with a good gpu can tell you how well it runs on beefy hardware.
I love Windows Vista.
The fact that a program instantly crashed the moment it logged in, is the true Vista Experience
Let's gooo, Windows Vista time
Neat, you actually made the upgrade video. 😊 Now Win7, 8, 10 and 11 next. 😁
Great video✌
I like how this worked as a small computer
Can’t wait to see something go wrong in the installation, it is an MJD video lol
Can you install Windows 7 on the Samsung Q1 Ultra
Amazing video
So this is basically a fancier version of the Wii U Gamepad
This is so cool!
Next step: Installing Hannah Montana Linux or Uwuntu into this thing. Amazing video as always!
i love your vids
1:19 What a flashy disk!
woah! i wasn't expecting Aero to work on this thing! also, could you PLEASE install Windows Longhorn on the 98 PC?
10:00 OMG You actually skipped it? I was hoping for a quick timelapse!
I would also try upgrading this to Windows 7.
"And it just hasn't been a very pleasant experience."
Vista in a nutshell.
Nice video :)
Ya going to need that second service pack
You have to take it a step further and try to upgrade to Windows 7! maybe even try to mod the windows 10 installer and upgrade to that too!
Michael can you do a follow up where you upgrade to windows 7
Put 32Bit Ubuntu MATE on it. It will run like a champ for the next 25 years.
As if LGR and Ben Stein had a baby somehow gave us you, lol love your video. Also cl_showfps 1 is then console command to show fps in HL1. I know you didn't install it in this video just something to keep in mind for next time
There is a patcher for Windows 8 that makes it run on Pentium 4 and older, can you try to install it on the Windows 98 pc
Vista is beatiful Windows.
Do you heard about the freedom op system ? It was the main system my father used to use it was a kinda mixture of xp and vista i dont clearly remember but any driver awa runing on it no matter what amd it was runing on anything id i recall it right it was maybe windows freedom or freedomcome or freedomcry or fredom i dont remember truly but would be cool to see it on some random hardware u can find 😂
there was a dock for these so k+m is still an authentic experience, but a crt would really sell it
I miss mine, it was a portable sims machine, I stayed in a shitty job with a crap boss to keep the thing in my life 😅
Michael, you can try installing Android X86 as well, or a subvariant might work
Hi Michael
Long time fan here I got a question I have a Q1 ultra with the Intel cellular on. It does not have the keyboard on the side like yours does where in the world do I find the battery? I know where the battery is on the unit, I can’t find any replacements . Any help would be appreciated.
💾 MJD Video 💾
I am very sad to see that such devices are no longer produced.
@@alexanderbaker4900 the world is a very strange place. People are trying to go back. Right now, the Internet is the same way. This is exemplified by Frugiter Aero becoming popular again.
You must be new here. :)
The way you did the disk drive open and close was pure boss
Please Try Tiny7 & Tiny10 on it..will love to see it
What if we try installing Windows 7 on that? It could conceivably run.
windows 7 was compatible with 2 Gb ram and maybe 1,5 Gb if i dont remember wrong so its possible if you turn off a few features that wont affect the function of the system.
This is a Cool Video
surprised aero was even working
"Using the device controls will give a more authentic experience"
Michael, my bro, ANYONE would DEFINITELY have plugged in some kind of keyboard and mouse even back in the day rather than dealing with that nightmare of a control scheme lol
i got one of those but sadly the LCD wasnt in super good shape i cant remember if the batteyr worked or not as the lister didnt give the proper power supply for it but if i sitll had it i would of replaced the lcd panel maybe and replaced the zif hdd with a sd card or something faster thant he hdd that was in it and the version i had came with vista on the drive
Not sure if my first comment went through…but I have the vista driver CD for this. The Q1 Ultra it came with doesn’t have the cameras or the fingerprint reader…but it should have most, if not all of the drivers including the Origami experience pack. Let me know if you’re interested!
Perfect machine to play the Age of Empires on ❤️
Well I have to ask, can you throw 7 on it? 32 bit minimum requirements are 1GB ram and 1GHz CPU, but the 98 PC has a slower CPU than the Q1 Ultra
Crazy that it can run aero being that small and being released in 2007.
Can you do 7 or newer on it as well?
Windows 10 x86 would probably actually run too
If that thing has a 945G graphics adapter it might support Mac OS Tiger or Leopard. Hackintosh?
This is really amazing
