He does this for us, so we don't have to.
each time it hitched in the game wasn't an anomaly, you can see every time it froze it was loading a new asset or a new file of some kind for the scripted sequence where you look at your hands or when you initiate a glory kill for the first time, each time it runs the first time it has to read the relevant files to ram

Ok time to replace my HDD's with SD Cards.
Many servers you buy from HP boot from SD cards, oddly enough. I bought a few HP Proliant DL380 G8 servers a few years back and the OEM boot drives were SD cards that were in a small socket on the motherboard and connected via the SATA bus. Since the hypervisor only needs to be read from the storage once during boot and there was pretty much no IO during use it wasn't a big deal (although it was painfully slow).

Angelo Stevens nice b8, by the way. Pedophilia sure does relate to making bootable live disks. No, i am not pro pedophilia. I am however, pro rule of law, and any crime accused of a man is to be treated as an accusation, and well, the burden of proof is on the accuser in most courts of law.

Reminds me of a Dell server a former employer used. The computer boots a VMWare ESXi hypervisor from an SD card, allowing all of the SATA storage devices (in our case, this was a bunch of hard drives) to be used for storing VM images.
Ordinarily, I would never consider starting a computer from an SD card, but the ESXi hypervisor is pretty lightweight. I suspect that the system barely touches the SD card after the initial boot image loads.

Rui Oliveira I was surprised Linus didn't catch on to this. His "anomalies" were the game requesting files that weren't already in the RAM.
I remember ogling 1gig drives in catalogs when I was a teenager. They were around 4 inches tall by 6 inches wide by eight inches deep. You would have to sacrifice one of your floppy drive slots to fit it in.

What about SD cards with the A2 specification? Sandisk has some cards with this spec which allows for 1000+ IOPS.
That should be able to run a OS much more decently. You should do a follow-up with that kind of SD card.
It won't make a big difference. A huge factor in any drive (mechanical or SSD) performance is the embedded controller, and the controller in SD cards isn't designed for the sort of access you need in order to efficiently run programs from it. A better/more powerful microcontroller would add to the price, to the point you may as well just get an SSD that's designed for that task. Go compare benchmarks between low-end SSDs and higher-end ones with the same RAM type and you'll see the difference the microcontroller makes.
Cool, a sponsor I can use!
4:50 *the cough! "Legit" & The Activate Windows At The Bottom-Left was hilarious* 😂
It should only lag when it's loading some type of an asset into RAM (like your death animation, headshot animation/icon) stuff that isn't always in use
Fun fact, the issue with the inability to create a Windows To Go installation with Rufus from the ISO downloaded from the media creation tool was a problem with Rufus, which was subsequently fixed. Also performance should now be a lot better even using an SD card given the much better optimizations with windows RAM caching and To Go compatibility. I have a mini-ryzen build that I've been running exclusively off a 32gb usb 3.0 cheapo drive from amazon and it works better than my 7200rpm WD black 1tb drive so that's something
These videos are enjoyable, but just like the multi-cpu builds, the implementation is never quite optimal, and combing through the comments you can learn a lot about how others have worked with the windows scheduler to get pretty good performance off of many-core builds. And that was before the windows scheduler was given appropriate optimizations to prioritize higher speed cores for demanding content like with android and the Big/small core complexes. It'd be nice to see an updated video on the opteron/xeon many-core builds with all of these things taken into account, and even some more Windows To Go content, as the niche is what I believe LTT excels at covering, even if not to the best of its interest.
Good sir and/or madam, 4 years later, Rufus made my Steam Deck Windows 10 drive on a MicroSD card and performance is GREAT. =D
Linus, it's not 99% usage, it is 99% active time. You need to look at the resource monitor to see the proper statistics. The main one is the disk queue. Anything more than 1 tends to mean commands are getting queued. You'd feel a disk queue of 5 or more.
Great Video Linus.
I'm having trouble finding the internal SSD on my laptop and so this will be the alternative until I can rectify the issue.
Thanks
Way before the emergence of Windows To Go I tried running some really dinosaur OSes on SD cards. They are 8GB in capacity and 20MB/s in speed! To run Windows XP from those cards, you need to hack some registry entries and enable EWF (enhanced write filter), which uses system memory as write cache and flush it onto the card only at shutdown (or periodically, you can configure it). That way, the card receives read-only load most of the time, which it handles reasonably well. I think the experience was way better than running from a typical mechanical drive, even if the HDD had 60MB/s sustained speed! Only that it took about two minutes shutting down because of the cache flush.
The 100% disk activity was more than likely two things. Windows updates and virus scans from Windows Defender. I've seen both of these things on my SSD and mechanical drives.
Heh, one more reason to use Linux.
Not entirely sure what causes it, but I went through well over a hundred Win10 PCs and I can confirm the issue isn't necessarily related to the SD card. It happens more often with HDDs than SSDs, so the drive's R/W speed probably does influence it somewhat, but it's definitely a Win10 issue primarily.
don't forget "CompatTelRunner.exe" or Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry... that also slows down a pc and send random info from your computer to microsoft
Now boot Windows off RAM.
Buddy Boo you mean sleep mode?
Now boot it off vram
"boot" "off ram" am i the only one who feels like this doesn't make sense?
Ram doesn't have persistence on data, so you can't power on a machine and pull data off of the ram.... You could load an entire OS into ram (windows would require at least 20 gigs + AFAIK) and then still it wouldn't have booted from ram, just be running solely on ram
Ever heard of ramdisk..?
It is actually technically possible to do so and people have done them before, but you'd have to reinstall windows every time you shut the computer down since RAM is volatile.
no idea how many times Rufus have saved my day xP brilliant piece of software!
And that Activate Windows shait? Started wondering, seens i use Manjaro as my daily drive (and done that now for probaly 7 or 8 years), and windows only for gaming, and that's even in a virtual machine xD

11:40: Not "anomalies", just loading a resource for the first time. So if a game isn't loading a lot of stuff dynamically, it would be as smooth as on an SSD. But most games load stuff dynamically, especially games that uses very detailed environments.
I'd also like to add that most Linux file-systems are faster than anything from Windows, and XFS can actually increase i/o to a great extent compared to other file-systems, especially for spinning drives. But I think Linux would handle everything from an SD card a lot better. Especially as it's not updating secretly in the background.

Its LTT, such are expected things.
You can install Windows to pretty much any rewritable media. All you need is a BIOS which can boot from it. Most machines can't boot directly from a fitted SD slot, though quite a lot of servers are happy to, with a slot ready on the system board. Some micro-SD cards come with a USB adapter - I have one plugged in to my laptop full time, because it sticks out only 1/4 of an inch. Booting from USB has been standard for about 20 years now.
@Linus Test Tips. I have made many functional systems using methods such as this. Many advantages, but mostly for me it was always cost. How can I make a running Windows (or my preferred Linux OS) run and all input/output is correct and responsive on 56k dial-up if needed.. I am 36 and love exploring the capabilities of hardware/software beyond it's original intended purpose. Keep up the great work. Would love to collab on a pc build
I've been booting Linux from a USB flash drive for quite some time now, a regular flash drive not an SSD, and it works just fine.
Some versions of Linux I believe, at least some some Hypervisors put everything in RAM, so the experience is much better.
I'm running standard Ubuntu installed in such a way that it thinks the USB drive is just a regular drive, with memory managed in the standard default way.

I've got a Win10 Pro installed on a NVMe drive installed in a USB C enclosure. I'm able to pretty much boot any machine off of it. The enclosure has the ability to adapt to USB3 and have gotten Win10 Pro running rather decently from it. Previously I had it running from a laptop hard drive mounted in a USB3 enclosure.
Nice, actually I know the same problem with the older laptops after upgrading to windows 10. Those remained at 100% for about 10 min without any workload. I tried to change the HDD to hybrid HDD but the system roasted it after 1 year of use. So I had no other option as to downgrade back to win7. That issue popped up at HP Pavilion dv7, Lenovo Workstation. :)
Hey! I know this is 2 years later, but I also have an HP Pavilion dv7 multimedia laptop running Windows 7. I saw your comment and figured I could provide relevant information.
I have had general issues with overheating on HP laptops in the past, but the "100% CPU usage" issue you described reminded me of something that happened recently. It’s kind of complicated, but I’ll explain it the best way that I can. Stick with me here.
HP desktops (and laptops) come with proprietary OEM software and drivers, specifically Pavilion Entertainment PCs. They have specialized keyboards with hotkeys (Fn keys) and dedicated shortcut buttons that operate HP software and control media playback. The controller software is usually located in C:\HP\KBD, if I’m not mistaken. A KBD.exe program always runs in the background to monitor the user's keystrokes and execute shortcut commands when needed. Anyways, if something goes wrong with this software, it can peg your CPU usage to 100% and cause your computer to overheat and shut down to avoid damage to the motherboard.
I recently had an instance where I had to hunt down an older version of this HP KBD software for use with an old HP PS/2 keyboard via a PS/2-to-USB adapter on my laptop. Apparently, I must’ve installed the wrong version, or it might have conflicted with my laptop's existing keyboard, who knows? Because as soon as I would boot into Windows, it would max out my CPU, which slowed down the system to a crawl, and the laptop would shut down to prevent overheating. As soon as I deleted that software, it fixed the problem. My point is, plenty can go wrong when it comes to OEM software and drivers, particularly on HP Pavilion machines. It sounds like something went wrong when you upgraded to Windows 10. Maybe some proprietary piece of HP software/driver compatibility issue between Windows 7 and 10 caused it to bug out?
I’m not saying this has anything to do with your keyboard, but for your specific issue, I would investigate any HP software or drivers that might’ve gotten carried over when you upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Also, since it’s an older laptop with older hardware, Windows 10 also could’ve downloaded an incorrect driver automatically. Here’s what I did: when you boot Windows, boot into Safe Mode and set it to automatically run Task Manager. Then boot into normal mode and monitor your processes. Look at the CPU/usage column, and if you see one running at 99% or some crazy number, that’s your culprit. Click it and press the "delete" key to end that task, and that should free up the system memory enough for you to open the control panel and uninstall it.
Not sure if this helps at all, but since I’ve personally dealt with this issue on these Pavilion laptops, I figured I’d give my 2 cents. :)
now we need sony to make one for this type of uses
Sony is so consumer unfriendly that they would never even think about making your experience smoother, easier or cheaper
Sony is selling ssds for that type of use
But why? Why does anyone want Windows on an SD card.
Why bother? Windows is the cause of it's own bad performance while being bloated, meanwhile Linux runs fine on a slower class 10 SD just fine while being lighter and faster also while this is interesting or cool harddrives are still superior in speed and performance so it's probably better to just use that.
but LINUX doesn't natively support every single windows game.

i still have dsl, heckin fight me
Kynce Shadowsong :(
How fast is your Internet?
Kynce Shadowsong weeb out
Same here, and I don't expect any time soon to get anything better, since I live in a slav country in a suburban area, but it's actually not that bad since it's vdsl 50Mbit
Some poor bastards are still on dialup(thankfully not me). DSL is at least better than that or satellite for that matter.
i have dsl 15/1 and its good enough for 1-2 people but if there's a bunch of people online then it gets a bit slow
this brought me back to my high school days running Windows XP of an SD card because my HDD broke and i didn't have any money to buy a new one.
I'm running my homelab hypervisor off an SD card. It's a 1U server cira 2010 with an SD card slot on the motherboard only accessible from the inside for this exact reason.
Newer servers now have internally accessible usb type-a ports directly on the motherboard. The idea is to install your OS on this flash media and save your precious SAS/SATA drive bays for data storage drives instead of using them to run the OS.
The major difference between what Linus is doing with desktop windows and a server OS, especially a hypervisor, the OS has very few reads&writes to the SDCard once it's running.
13:25 I know that feel Linus, yesterday I was shopping for a mini usb cable for some shitty iPhone dock I have at work, and the girl working at the store was like "Ummm there's no such thing as a mini usb, you have a micro usb, lightning and type c" I just mumbled something like "It's a older standard" and left the store because I could literally feel my hair turning gray, damn I feel it only was 2-3 years ago I used a mini usb cable for my HTC Wizard
I have a drawer of spare miniUSB cables. Do you want one.
Don't ps3 controller cables use those I remember them
Nah man, already bought one, but thanks anyway
You’re not old they’re just dumb I’m a young person and I’ve used miniusb a lot
Yeah, but when talking about using them on phones, they are pretty ancient haha
4:56 *Activate Windows* bottom right....loll
ok i wasnt the only one seeing that
when i saw that: monkaS
being this noob
I've had mine there for 2 years now
they actually got me....had a mini panic attack...
4:55 that ,, activate windows" thing scare the sh*t out of me. I thought my license has expired.
Me watching on my Android phone: umm did my phone just install windows on itself???
Good thing i have a GENUINE COPY rather than pirating it
Same
I did this a few years ago, My old PC broke and I could only afford a 20gb IDE hard drive and TRIED to use other peoples PC's as my own.
So watching this I knew it would boot, but had no idea you would be able to play a game on it, pretty cool really.
Why do so many people fail to realise that the activate windows watermark was a joke? They edited it in jeez
Because many people are foolish; this many years on earth has taught me that much,
In 80's we boot DOS from two 5 1/4" drives (need a system and boot diskette to do that), this reminds me of those times ...
4:50 The camera's operating system ran out of free test-time XD
9:32 I Can't Stop Laughing 🤣🤣🤣
125GB on your first PC? - mine had something like 80 MB and it was huge for its time :-)
lol same, and was thinking the same thing
Mine had 200 MB, but either way, 125 GB would have blown all our minds at the time, or at least 16 year old me nearly a quarter of a century ago.
Robert Lenk mine had a 25mb HDD and a 5.25 inch floppy drive
my first pc = 1gb !! it was a lot at the time and 256mb ram !!!!
first PC I had 640kb of ram and a 40mb hard drive, first computer had 64kb ram and 2 x 512kb floppy.
I don't understand why Linus is surprised that games run smooth. Obviously a good part of the game is already loaded onto the RAM and hence the decent performance right?
Exact. But this is linus.
Lol true
i think the surprise was that it had an unexpected loading time, much faster than he tought, the rest is filler
Time was the drive speed was a much bigger factor in game performance. Also, I think he was basing it off of older systems with far, far less RAM. On XP for example it would be paging a lot.
Only Linus would think of booting Windows of an SD card I honestly didn’t
think you would get it to work Great Job!
This video answered my question and definitely discouraged me to stop what Ibwas supposed to do 🤣
Linus you can just clone the boot and system partition of any working installed Windows onto the removable drive or sdcard and it will boot fine. Paragon Partition Manager or some such can do it all under 20 minutes.
For someone running a "tech" channel, he's exceedingly incompetent sometimes.
nik3r007 Thats a lotof information for me to process...slow down bud
The c partition of that bench is prob too big/full for that SD card with all the games installed for the benchmarks
Id rather use robocopy (included with windows) then free software on the internets, much saver much faster less hassle.
But if space is an issue and you want just Windows (like is the case in this video), the only official way to do it (as far as i know anyway) would be the same way PXE boots are prepared (network deployment).
And that is lot more effort for just one install, better to do a fresh "to go" install in those cases.
You absolute madlad, you actually got it to play Doom

YOU'RE ALSO HERE?!

8:10 My (fully up-to-date) laptop has that issue! Maybe my hard drive's actually an SD card. 🤔
Edit:
8:46 I love you, editor, whoever you are.
"Oh Linus, we had such high expectations from Windows running from an SD card"... but it was very entertaining, even funny to watch this. Thumbs up.
Try using a network drive as a boot drive!!
ItzzTies that's very lame nearly any school does that
Marcel Yes
It takes up to 20 Minutes
Android User No way in our school we had linux network boot and it was pretty fast
depends on the implementation :D
but those computers also have storage in them, i mean an OS running purely on a network drive.
maybe even try to run 2 different pc's from the same network drive, and see if that would work.
EDIT: with the 1(0?) Gbit internet at LMG there would be almost no latency, and the issue Andoid User stated would be solved.
120GB? That would have been giant! I had an 8GB Quantum Fireball! :D
You youngsters! You couldn't even BUY a Gig hard drive when I bought my first PC [1989-ish] :)
I was thinking the same thing. Mine had 20Mb, so hearing Linus say that made me realize how young most of these people are...
Currently running a Surface Pro 3 with a dead sad on a class 10 Sandisk Extreme 128gb for £20. I used Rufus in Windows to go mode and its pretty great! It boots to desktop in 30 seconds with no optimizations 😍 Best thing is the internal micro SD slot is running on USB 3.0 bus!!!

@@corey811 not bad
It would be interesting to do an update on this but changing a few things. Like would using a different storage medium like CFExpress work better since it ties in using pcie lanes and the latest version even supports NVME. Does NVME's ability to use system RAM as a cache have an impact here? Does running the OS off a USB work better? Why? I would also be interested to know if a different operating system would help here. A main contender would be anything that is designed to run with a raspberry pi as the OS is designed to run off a SD card.
