Can this a 6 year old low power small form factor machine be enough to run windows 10 for general home use? With a budget of about £100?
We take an Lenovo M93 that came with a low end i3 4130T, 4GB RAM and a 60 SSD and give it a slight make over to a low end i5, 8GB and 128GB SSD all for just over £100 (taking into account selling off the replaced parts).

2 years late but thought it might be worth mentioning, you should have gone for another 4gb stick for a total of 8gb ram or two 8gb sticks. Running dual channel really helps with on board graphics performance (increases by 30-40% due to having double the bandwidth speed of single channel). I love these systems for the price and form factor too, they make great media pc's or net boxes like you mentioned. Never ceases to amaze me just how much you can get out of so little 👍
I just set up my M93p as a media PC in my living room. I upgraded from an old laptop I had been using for the same purpose, and right off the bat I’m super happy with how much more aesthetic my setup looks now. With my laptop, it did the job fine but I had all sorts of cords plugged into it… USB cords, Ethernet, HDMI, power, etc… all coming from different sides of the laptop.
With the M93p in its place, all the cords are plugged into the back of the machine and the front of the machine just looks so much better. Also it was a big performance upgrade over my laptop.
Thanks for the video. Looking at the internals helped me make a decision on buying one of these to run as a media server.
its a great little machine, it might only have intels terrible iGPU but its a great little thing overall. Also the CPUS are really cheap so upgrades are easy.
Hopefully you plugged in that fan connector again before putting it back together...
Yup cause otherwise the machine would be very dead by now
@@AvenyetsTechWorkshop probably not dead but very slow due to thermal throttling. Modern CPUs are quite well protected against overheating :)
Very true. Sounds more fun that it would turn into a pile of slag. Plus a 35 watt CPU the fan barely comes down
I’m looking to get this for simple internet use and to review SD cards etc. Would it be worth it?
Certainly would do the job. Limited to windows 10 or Linux due to the age but it would certainly work fine for office based tasks.
Bought this mini 8gb 240GB but preloaded with 10 pro MS so How do u bypass the MS sign on that wants email sign on?
There is normally a make offline account button somewhere. Sometimes and one some builds it's missing so the trick is install windows with no internet connection then connect it afterwards.
@@AvenyetsTechWorkshop well there's no MS disc. It's preloaded. Win 10. Any other thoughts? Admin change in bios and security?
@@jerseyshore7438 you can always reinstall the download is free and the key will be preloaded. If it's got an admin password remove the battery and clear the bios that normally clears it. Also if you can't make an offline account you should be able to make one after the first login and then delete the one with the email. I hope that helps MS doesn't make this easy these days
@@AvenyetsTechWorkshop 🙋♀️🤗👍
Can we use it for learning python programming ?
Yea sure. You don't need much power to learn how to program. The cheapest solution might be a raspberry pi. But atleast with the you have windows and or Linux to choose from.
@@AvenyetsTechWorkshop Thank you so much for your time and the precious advice bro.
Which wifi card can work with it…¿.
Pretty much any half height mini PCIe card should work if I remember correctly. I no longer have this machine to check
Can 1tb SSD can run this pc
Yea no issue with a SSD that size as long as it's SATA it should be able to take any size. (I'd say up to 4tb for certain)
Can it run 4K at 6htz?
Via display port yes the CPU does support 4k 60hz, hdmi seems to be limited to 30hz but that's an optional connector
@@AvenyetsTechWorkshoperm is this a limitation of the HDMI add-on port specifically? I have my M93p plugged into my home theater system using a DisplayPort to HDMI cable and wanna know if I can get 4K from that setup?
From what I can tell it will be limited to 30hz a displayport to hdmi adapter would achieve 60hz. It's just down to the slightly older standard for the hdmi port.
@@AvenyetsTechWorkshop so it’s the expansion HDMI port that you put in the punch-out slot that is limited only right? So using my DisplayPort -> HDMI cable should be able to achieve 60 Hz? Sorry just wanna clarify that I’m understanding ya correctly!
@@riffdex yes that should work fine. Just make sure you have the correct rated adapter and hdmi cable. Older ones might limit things.
Can gta 5 run on it
No. It will not run GTA5. Not at anything I would consider playable. You really need a dedicated GPU for a game like that. CPU wise it's fine but the Intel GPU will really hold it back
Can it run fortnite
No I don't think it will since Fortnite now needs a fair bit to run. It might run at 720p on very low settings with 40% internal Res.
