Buying old laptops and breathing new life into them is always appreciated, better than getting the usual recent ones that are prone to underperform in some aspects and don't offer so much upgradability. Hopefully more people get to see content from you, your videos have been swell so far.
Thanks a lot.
I thought for a second I was watching a youtuber with more then 1k subs at least, just to notice that this is the best PC content tutorial for a person that just started making videos not long ago with only 24 subs?, you earned another sub and Good luck!
Appreciate that
I thought that I was seeing a video made by a channel with 150k subscribers
Thanks a lot glad you liked the video.@@LakshyaPlayzzOfficial
@@TechDecoder11 no problem bro
I did something very much like this last fall, with an HP 4540s rather than a 4430s. I pulled out the dual-core CPU and installed an i7-3720qm and also used MX4 compound. Also installed an SSD, upped the RAM to 16 gigs like you did, put a terabyte HDD in the optical bay, and upgraded the LCD from the stock 768p to a compatible 900p that I had lying around (this required the cable from the 17" version of these). The original Wifi/BT card works well enough (Atheros AR9485) so I left it be.
The $10 bay adapters from eBay and AliExpress all work fine with these if anyone wants to replace the optical drive with more storage. You do have to disable a small bit of the 16 gigs in the 4540 due to some glitch in the BIOS, but the 4430 may not have that issue. There's a Windows registry hack for that and also a way to do it in GRUB if you're using Linux, which I do.
This laptop is about a decade old now but had been barely used by whoever had it before me, and now it works great with the updated components.
Very good video, keep it up.
Thank you very much!
That all helps!👍👍 I usually install Linux Mint Mate version on older computers.
Using old computers is a really good practice, as it is environmentally friendly and reduces e-waste. I'm glad you liked it.
OP's laptop with the Sandy Bridge quad and 16 gigs will kill it on any Linux distro.
I use PCLinuxOS on a very similar upgraded HP laptop (4540s) to his. My wife still runs a Core 2 Duo laptop and we use Mint on that.
@@johncate9541 Yes, in most cases Linux will do the job very well, however, I have 2 HP laptops and one HP USDT PC., which will not function with Linux, but I managed to install Windows 11 on those.
I have the 32 bit version of LMDE 6 installed on two old Dell laptops and they work well enough for basic tasks, LMDE 6 is supported so those computers receive updates.
I have Zorin OS 17 Core installed on an HP Probook 4310s, which is a small core 2 duo laptop which will be my travelling laptop, Zorin's default desktop resembles Windows 7, but there are several pre installed desktops to choose from.

This tutorial was truly amazing. It hasn't been a long time since you started, and you already make a great content. Keep up doing the work this way.
Thanks, will do!
Awesome 🎉🎉
I have watched the part 1-2 and planning to buy and upgrade.
my issue of my HP laptop is the update getting an error and making my laptop slow. and when playing games like roblox it heat up easily and where I live is hot.
I think I will but RAM bc I only have 4GB and idk what to upgrade of my processor it's AMD A10 RADEON R5.
and I'm very new and could mess it up but I will still try.
replace cpu?
Very informative, Thanks for your helpful effort. Question - Can I do the same upgrade for the CPU as what you're doing in this video for my HP Pro 6570b?
Check your CPU socket type in an application like Speccy. If it is not soldered directly, then why not.
thanks for your reply The Intel i5-3230M is a BGA1023 microprocessor, based on Ivy Bridge core. There are also 43 Ivy Bridge microprocessors,. I have been trying without luck to buy one of two CPU Core i7-3612QE4 8 2.1 GHz 3.1 GHz 1MB 6MB 35W Or
Core i7-3615QE 4 8 2.3 GHz 3.3 GHz 1MB 6MB 45W. But only found them with the M letter and E what is the difference between the E designation and the M? Also I have had no luck online buying the E CPU' there are the same codes but with the code ending in M and not E? What do you suggest? Many thanks in advance for your advice. John

Would (have) be(en) interesting to see a comparison between Windows and Linux (maybe additionally also between old and upgraded HW).
I know there are not so many benchmarks that you can use on both systems, but what comes directly to my mind is geekbench.
Keep up with videos like that - me and many others love it to see old hardware getting upgraded! 👍
Glad that you liked the video.

Would have been better to use a M.2 card with Bluetooth and WiFi 6; better antennas than a dongle.
It does not have an m.2 slot. Also, a new wifi card can not be used as this hp laptop has a whitelist, only allowing certain cards.
@@TechDecoder11 Ok, that explains it. Makes sense.
Just a mSATA slot then? It would have been good to mention that, as having both seems kind of clunky. I hate having dongles on my laptops.
Thanks for advice, will keep that in mind next time. 👍
New laptop level 1 vs old laptop level 1000 fight!
The laptop will only last until end of 2025 with windows 10 EOL. I mean it will technically last longer, but for update purposes. You can install windows 11 on it, as I did it to my Dell Precision T5500, and then my hard drive failed as it was an old 1TB western digital blue from 2015. I am going to put an SSD in it :)
True, but if you don't need Windows and do what he did, it will absolutely fly with Linux. That's not for everyone, but if you're a Linux user, this is a killer machine. I upgraded an HP 4540 much like this one.
Linux is the true infinity software.
love the video 👏🏻👏🏻
btw at 2:16 the ssd label says 128gb not 512
It is a 512gb ssd in 128gb casing.
@@TechDecoder11 I don't see why the manufacturer would lie about the storage of the SSD if it's actually 512GB. Unless you're lying and gaslighting the original commenter.
Nice work. But dual channel don't have much impact to performance for home PC usage, is useful for ram intensive application such gaming or cinebench. Bluetooth and wifi upgrade don't have much impact on real life, if you don't transfer large files. Wifi is useful if have wifi type g, generally to slow of internet connection.
Other useful upgrade is thermal paste, if laptop have original thermal paste, it will be dry. I like make to new life old and usable PC, and you have make good job 👍
No, I am not saying that I bought it like this, I had a Lite-on 512gb ssd whose casing was damaged. So, I replaced it with the casing of older 128gb one, which I had lying in my drawer.
@@TechDecoder11 and why the hdd label is 500gb not 128gb
4:11 I've seen this 16384mb of ram in the last video 💀
Sir, can you please help making a video for HP N259TX Wifi-Bluetooth card upgrade?
I will try.
Now add an egpu
I will make a video on E-GPU in the future.
