@@Mazazamba honestly some family members, like my grandfather, understand that I'm capable with computers (I do it for a living after all) and will listen to my advice. He has an older Lenovo desktop that I had upgraded the memory on years ago (to a whopping 4 GB, the most the motherboard could handle lol) and then it died one day. He replaced the PSU himself and it still had problems so I took a look and found the motherboard had shorted out all over the place (visible burn marks). Ended up throwing a new mobo in and a new SSD at the same time (cheap $30 one) since all he needs is to be able to access email and work in Office. Total cost for repairing was about $100 in parts. Not too shabby overall, but at least he was able to talk to me about the things that need to be done and was willing to listen to my advice. That machine has been running on the new mobo and such for well over a year now without a single issue, so I'm thinking he'll be good to go, but even when it dies, we've talked about building him a good cheap low-power AMD system for around $350-$400 in parts that I think will do him nicely too.

I was playing a gig many years ago and a mate / fellow DJ there brought his laptop along - he was running behind so he got there with only a few minutes until his set so he was pretty pressed for time. He goes up to the booth and starts setting his stuff up - and then he powers on his laptop and the screen goes blue and it says "installing 1 of 76 updates" - I will never forget that moment, it was one of the most classic stitch-ups I've ever seen hahahaha.
Technically he gave her a laptop, so her problem was more or less fixed, I assume she would have requested a copy of the data or made a backup if she actually needed something from her old laptop.

Yeah, these passively-cooled celerons are basically only going to be usable under LXDE and similarly low-spec distributions. I just can't recommend Linux at the moment because both Firefox and Chrome(ium) don't support video hardware acceleration, so these machines can't reasonably even be thin clients for the modern Web. For details, Firefox is planning to reenable video acceleration in v80, but Chrome's locked it off. (This bug still isn't fixed! It's been open since 2012!) You need to trust someone else who compiles Chromium with video acceleration force-enabled since the code exists and works. (If your drivers are working right, anyway. This is their reason for locking it off!)
Dude, I cannot believe how well this old machine is running. Took some research on how to run this powershell program...but got 'er done. So good. Thank you so much.
We have an all-in-one Lenovo in our home office and it was getting to be almost unusable. Slow boot times and crazy slow opening apps and even Windows Explorer. i5-6200U, 1TB HDD, 8 GB DDR4 RAM. This debloader brought it back to life. Thanks for highlighting it here.
@iTheGeek bro when i update to windows 2004 it tells me that couldnt install upates in the reserved partition,can you help me out please? i searched on youtube but none worked
I remember when updates literally took the whole day. Just format your PC? Have a nice day I'd say, because you are going through all of the goddamn updates in literal snail speed. Windows 7 stuff. Ugh
@iTheGeek Yes I think it is internet speed, as I have a window 7 desktop and in 2018 it took about 1 and a half to 2ish hours to update. I then got a better internet provider for xmas and the updates then only took about 30 to 40ish min
@iTheGeek I had 24/0,5 (although the true speed was only around 15-18) in speed which is definitely low today. Reinstallation of Windows took around 3-4 hours, and then you had to sit with the rest of the after-updates for 10-11 hours. I couldn't do anything at all on the PC while it was using Windows Update, it would lag hell. So no, it wasn't really the biggest culprit. The biggest culprit was the fact that the HDD couldn't work on more than one task at a time. When I play Warframe, they have this kinda "optimization" thing who is like defragmenting but only Warframes files, its the same thing there. Can't do anything while that one is doing stuff.

Recycled content is the best, you already know it will do well. EVERY single fortnite video is recycled with some clickbait thumbnail with some "pro" of "creator" that never actually ends up in the video or says 2 words
Generally Production Values & Presenter Skills have Improved so the videos are much more watchable, the Quality of Jays videos now Phil works there is very noticeable compared to his original content, Plus it can make it easier for new viewers to find content they are looking for instead of scrubbing through thousands of UA-cam Vids in Google search 🙄
I have an older Dell laptop with a Core M7 passively cooled... So I found a few things that actually makes a slow PC much faster : - AdBlock, obviously. If you don't load ads, they can't slow you down. - ThrottleStop. That's an undervolting/turbo management software which will let you run at full turbo forever, while keeping the CPU cooler by undervolting it. - h264ify. That's a Chrome extension that forces UA-cam videos in h264 mode instead of VP9. H264 is GPU accelerated while VP9 isn't (before Intel 7th gen). With this, my laptop is litterally twice as fast in 3DMark and the browsing experience is MUCH better thanks to the CPU not being pinned to 100% when playing a video or loading some random ad.
Ads are still loaded, adblock just hides them from view. If you want to stop ads from actually loading you need to use something like pihole or any other custom DNS that blocks requests to the ad servers
That’s incorrect. Ads are not hidden , the request is evaluated against a custom set of regular expressions on the ad blocker extension and if it matches it blocks the request. You can check this on the debugger tool of the browser on network tab
@@javitronix014 I use both. :) There are some things one catches that the other doesn't, so in combination they work well, along with DeMainstream for UA-cam. Btw, Bryan at Tech Yes City did a good video on speeding up Win10: ua-cam.com/video/DSH1JwNPHA8/v-deo.html
@@Quarterbtw you could be right in this case. nevertheless, mini heatsinks are cheap, i got 100 for 10 dollars (3mm heatsinks) a week of delivery time. nearly every laptop benefits from these (must be careful, i shorted a few systems ,make sure the battery is disconnected, use electrical tape to insulate poorly designed heatsinks, use double sided non-conductive thermal tape) its quite fast and cheap.

This what happens you but a PC/Laptop from a major retail store and you're only concerned with price. There are a lot of good used Laptops with better specs/upgrade ability that will rung rings around this PC (in the video). Case in point, I purchased a Dell Latitude e7440 with good specs for about $320. You should educate yourself and know what expect when buying a PC.
I've been using debloating scripts since Windows 10 released. It works great, however, the only issue is that you want to rerun it after any major windows update. As on each major update for some reason windows resets itself to its default configurations along with these bloatware. So, keep this in mind if you using one of these scripts.
@@moriwako6338 debloating is removing the preloaded apps and services that usually not useful or it's built for advertisement purposes and these preloaded software uses the hardware resources which affects the overall system performance.
@@Isr5d Wait a minute... are you saying the Debloater script doesn't disable Win10 updates? Is there a way to simply disable Updates altogether? It's my first time using Win10 for a new laptop, so all of this is new to me, after years on Win7 and then Linux.
I used a debloat program and every computer I applied it to "came back to life". Junkie crappy bloatware just bogs down every Windows install. Thanks to Chris Titus. That and Glary utilities keeps me humming along.
You don't need to pause update every time. All you can do is simply disabling Windows Update service from services.msc. Windows will be unable to update for eternity.

Hey, it's my favorite linux music guy! BTW, this laptop is better hardware than my main pc. I'm on a single core AMD, BUT I'm running Linux Mint, so it runs faster than his! :)
At this point, manufacturing a laptop like that feels like just making a lot of e-waste, since they will be scrapped in less than a year for being so slow.
As long as uninformed people keep buying these sub $300 e-waste, manufacturers will continue producing e-waste. For the love of God you do or do not believe in, you are better off buying a used ThinkPad or ProBook. The per-core performance of 2nd/3rd gen Core i3/i5s is significantly higher than these passively cooled Intel Cerery sticks.
That was my first thought too, it is gutless from the get go and for a really small netbook machine it makes sense but this should be at least upgradable with storage and maybe a ram slot for its form factor and probable asking price. It is sad to see laptops becoming almost disposable tech like printers.
These computers are not a waste if you know what to do with them. One of my daily computers is a Gateway N54 with a Pentium processor. Has 4GB memory, updated to 256GB SSD and installed Mint on it. Works plenty fast for what I need it for boots in seconds and no problems watching youtube and web browsing.
I work in customer service for Discount Computer Depot which is a certified Microsoft Refurbishing company that sells a ton of older pc's and laptops. Even on all of the older models(core 2 duos. Etc...) we install Windows 10 on them. Some of them are okay running it, and others will just completely crash upon the customer trying to turn it on. I should start sending my customers to this channel!
A friend was complaining everything was being slow. He had mcaffee, avg, malwarebytes and norton running all at the same time. It took me 35 minutes avg. To remove it all.
Honestly a pc like this i would just not install windows on. I would 100% install Zorin OS ( Linux distro) because it is a lot more lightweight and easy to use for a windows user and its perfect for just browsing the web or answering emails or even some gaming. I did that to one of my friends who is not even remotely tech savy at all but she just knows how to use it and says it feels like windows but better. Best part i didnt even have to install any printer onit because it just detected it and it worked first time, that i see as a win.
Depends, I suggested a Linux for my sister Folio 9470m but unfortunately she has work related apps (those that don't work on wine) that only work on Windows. what i did is install a trimmed down version of win10
@@hys.inzomnia it's basically the same as installing windows: - go to the website (e.g. ubuntu.com/download/desktop ) - download .iso file - burn .iso file to USB (Etcher) or DVD (built-in windows utility) - boot USB/DVD - Installer starts -follow instructions on screen Unless you install Arch or something. If you really want that as your first distro, get Manjaro. But for most people I still recommend to start with ubuntu, and go further down the rabbit hole when they are curious enough.
I have that exact laptop or one with the exact same shell. It doesn't have a graphics card but is pretty fast with decent RAM and is very reliable. I've had it for 4 years now and it's never failed in any way. It's a really nice fall-back option. Also despite it not having a graphic's card nor much grunt in general I still game on it sometimes. Mostly old games from my teenagehood or of similar era. Yeah they are not the most complicated or nice to look at but they are still fun. I still play plenty on my Switch and the graphics aren't that far apart. I grew up with 30fps gaming so while I now normally set it to 60 or 100 I can still make due just fine with 30 if I have to.
This is only because the Switch is basically a glorified gameboy, and this laptop you are talking about is NOT fast whatsoever. Most smartphones have better specs than this. It's probably why smartphones tend to cost more than these laptops.
he does not, thats how you understood it. he literally cleaned up the laptop with software. Just bc he gave his friend a mac book doesnt mean he thinks you can get one, theyre expensive. He did this bc he says hes a tech hoarder. meaning he has this stuff all over his shop/space so he can afford to give it away for free to friends/family since hes holding onto it for no good reason.
Yeah.. i was using my laptop at 2 gb ram for 8 years just upgraded to 4 gigs recently... it was an i3 maybe 2nd gen?? And I have a tab like thing that runs on win10 32bit on 2 gigs, atom processor and it’s unupgradable ... welcome to paradise...lol
@@Gabifuertes Well when you think about it, it's kinda obvious that it is that way. Windows can comfortably take up about 4 or 5 GBs, but it will throttle itself if that's not available so you can have some to run other tasks. If you have 4GB of RAM, it's going to force itself to use about 2.5 or 3 so you have a bit of space for yourself to run anything that you want. When you get 8, it will take up about 4 ish, and with 16 it'll use about the same, because that's what Windows needs in order to keep itself loaded and responsive.
I'm 53 and I've been working on computers since 1988. I used to be the go to guy but tech went in so many different directions that I ended up pigeon holed into doing one thing because that's what they pay me to do but the enjoyment was in building and configuring computers and I don't get to do that often anymore. So... I guess that makes me one of the OLD GUYS on your channel.
You should also check Chris Titus Tech for debloat scripts. He just did a new one, and it really pares down the bloat and crap in Windows. Correction: he will be doing a livestream on 8/14 about the new scripts.
Also... because it has to be said... why not try Linux? Pop_OS or Linux Mint would be perfect for what that notebook can do, with a definite performance boost over Windows 10, without having to run a debloater or turning off updates and whatnot.

Hey I'm 67, and I follow you! I'd built many computers, but the last time I did it was 8 years ago. It blew my mind when I heard about all of these strange new components. So you have helped me out.
I had a 6 year break from Computers after building them for over 20 years. I got so so tired of family members all wanting me to do their computers. Eventually i said look learn something about computers and gain some common sense BEFORE buying a computer. As i actually bought books and learned the components and how they work and how windows works BEFORE i ( self built) my very first ever pc. And because i understood it nothing went wrong. And i was quite pleased that i had achieved it. But then it didnt stop there! I then went on to learn how to web design and build websites all in my own time. It really amazes me the lack of common sense and knowledge some people have.
I work in school IT support and it is astounding and quite sad at the lack of basic troubleshooting skills of our staff. Not saying that in a rude way, but it has just been my observation. I've had an infuriatingly large number of tech "emergencies" where the problem was that the power strip was not turned on, plugged in, the computer wasn't docked, or the display was on the wrong input.
Throwing SSDs into old laptops and reinstalling Windows for my friends has been my side gig for these past few months. My daily is now a 12yo i5 and it works just as well as anything for daily use.
SSDs are game changers for old machines. I threw a 500gb sata 3 ssd in my moms old pc, plus some more ddr3 ram. And even having a pentium, with a old ATI gpu, it ran just like new.
The updates thing shows the value of keeping the PC on and on the network. If a PC has been turned off and off network for longer than 6 months, don't expect it to be usable on boot.
@@roeltaga turning off animations don't affect apps at all, and only has small effect on windows, but it's so minor that you will probably think it's slower since the animations just make it look fluid. It's basically like turning off loading screens because they take time to load... If your computer can handle windows it probably won't be affected at all by the windows animations, which as I said are only visible in windows menus
Thank you. Made a huge difference to an old Celeron 1.8Ghz laptop which was continuously running the CPU at 99%. Ran the Windows10 Bloatware script and now it purrs along at just 6%! It's never going to be a greyhound but now it's not a tortoise either!
There were two laptops from my childhood that are still in use to this day, one is a 2013 acer and the other a 2015 dell inspiron. I have been eyeing both for a bit and I plan to revive them with new parts and maybe use them as a linux computer
My advice to speed up your old dual-core laptop is an SSD and a lightweight Linux distro. This is what I did to my 7 years old Dell Inspiron, and it immediately started to fly again. I've been happily using the old warrior for more than a year now after the 'upgrades'.
Linux is fantastic for adding life back to an older laptop OR old desktop. If you have the disk space you can install the linux system and a VM, then install some old version of windows in the VM and keep the old thing running just fine.
if you watch the video, upgrading the SSD isn't possible in this model, linux would still be a valid option depending on the user and how well supported the hardware is though
Love that you used the debloater script, I had actually found it from another video about a month prior to this one being posted(first time seeing it), after every update I run it on the partners and my computers and it helps immensely some I have reinstalled like the xbox app but the majority of it is garbage that microcrap should never have included to begin with
I can confirm that windows has gotten resource heavy over the years. I was a Windows insider using the preview version as a daily. The preview releases were not resource heavy other than a period where there was a memoryleak. Only in later preview versions and full release did it become super resource heavy and ran into much higher cpu, ram and disk usage.
Worked a treat on a Lenovo Miix 300 (80NR0022UK) Tablet PC (Intel Atom, 2GB RAM, 32GB Storage, Windows 10), only used for light browsing more responsive now.

honestly some family members, like my grandfather, understand that I'm capable with computers (I do it for a living after all) and will listen to my advice. He has an older Lenovo desktop that I had upgraded the memory on years ago (to a whopping 4 GB, the most the motherboard could handle lol) and then it died one day. He replaced the PSU himself and it still had problems so I took a look and found the motherboard had shorted out all over the place (visible burn marks). Ended up throwing a new mobo in and a new SSD at the same time (cheap $30 one) since all he needs is to be able to access email and work in Office.
Total cost for repairing was about $100 in parts. Not too shabby overall, but at least he was able to talk to me about the things that need to be done and was willing to listen to my advice. That machine has been running on the new mobo and such for well over a year now without a single issue, so I'm thinking he'll be good to go, but even when it dies, we've talked about building him a good cheap low-power AMD system for around $350-$400 in parts that I think will do him nicely too.

Yeah, these passively-cooled celerons are basically only going to be usable under LXDE and similarly low-spec distributions. I just can't recommend Linux at the moment because both Firefox and Chrome(ium) don't support video hardware acceleration, so these machines can't reasonably even be thin clients for the modern Web.
For details, Firefox is planning to reenable video acceleration in v80, but Chrome's locked it off. (This bug still isn't fixed! It's been open since 2012!) You need to trust someone else who compiles Chromium with video acceleration force-enabled since the code exists and works. (If your drivers are working right, anyway. This is their reason for locking it off!)

@iTheGeek bro when i update to windows 2004 it tells me that couldnt install upates in the reserved partition,can you help me out please? i searched on youtube but none worked
I remember when updates literally took the whole day. Just format your PC? Have a nice day I'd say, because you are going through all of the goddamn updates in literal snail speed. Windows 7 stuff. Ugh
Lol mine wont even update bc it only has 32gb EMmc storage 😂😂
@iTheGeek Yes I think it is internet speed, as I have a window 7 desktop and in 2018 it took about 1 and a half to 2ish hours to update. I then got a better internet provider for xmas and the updates then only took about 30 to 40ish min
@iTheGeek I had 24/0,5 (although the true speed was only around 15-18) in speed which is definitely low today. Reinstallation of Windows took around 3-4 hours, and then you had to sit with the rest of the after-updates for 10-11 hours. I couldn't do anything at all on the PC while it was using Windows Update, it would lag hell. So no, it wasn't really the biggest culprit. The biggest culprit was the fact that the HDD couldn't work on more than one task at a time.
When I play Warframe, they have this kinda "optimization" thing who is like defragmenting but only Warframes files, its the same thing there. Can't do anything while that one is doing stuff.

@@ssfizz that's great, i thought that acer dominate the budget market
Lenovo is the most reliable imo.
I have an older Dell laptop with a Core M7 passively cooled... So I found a few things that actually makes a slow PC much faster :
- AdBlock, obviously. If you don't load ads, they can't slow you down.
- ThrottleStop. That's an undervolting/turbo management software which will let you run at full turbo forever, while keeping the CPU cooler by undervolting it.
- h264ify. That's a Chrome extension that forces UA-cam videos in h264 mode instead of VP9. H264 is GPU accelerated while VP9 isn't (before Intel 7th gen).
With this, my laptop is litterally twice as fast in 3DMark and the browsing experience is MUCH better thanks to the CPU not being pinned to 100% when playing a video or loading some random ad.
Ads are still loaded, adblock just hides them from view. If you want to stop ads from actually loading you need to use something like pihole or any other custom DNS that blocks requests to the ad servers
That’s incorrect. Ads are not hidden , the request is evaluated against a custom set of regular expressions on the ad blocker extension and if it matches it blocks the request. You can check this on the debugger tool of the browser on network tab
@@xeon2k8 Oh damn didn't know that, ty for the correction

I've been using debloating scripts since Windows 10 released. It works great, however, the only issue is that you want to rerun it after any major windows update. As on each major update for some reason windows resets itself to its default configurations along with these bloatware. So, keep this in mind if you using one of these scripts.

At this point, manufacturing a laptop like that feels like just making a lot of e-waste, since they will be scrapped in less than a year for being so slow.
As long as uninformed people keep buying these sub $300 e-waste, manufacturers will continue producing e-waste.
For the love of God you do or do not believe in, you are better off buying a used ThinkPad or ProBook. The per-core performance of 2nd/3rd gen Core i3/i5s is significantly higher than these passively cooled Intel Cerery sticks.
That was my first thought too, it is gutless from the get go and for a really small netbook machine it makes sense but this should be at least upgradable with storage and maybe a ram slot for its form factor and probable asking price. It is sad to see laptops becoming almost disposable tech like printers.

Also despite it not having a graphic's card nor much grunt in general I still game on it sometimes. Mostly old games from my teenagehood or of similar era. Yeah they are not the most complicated or nice to look at but they are still fun. I still play plenty on my Switch and the graphics aren't that far apart. I grew up with 30fps gaming so while I now normally set it to 60 or 100 I can still make due just fine with 30 if I have to.
This is only because the Switch is basically a glorified gameboy, and this laptop you are talking about is NOT fast whatsoever. Most smartphones have better specs than this. It's probably why smartphones tend to cost more than these laptops.

@@Gabifuertes Well when you think about it, it's kinda obvious that it is that way. Windows can comfortably take up about 4 or 5 GBs, but it will throttle itself if that's not available so you can have some to run other tasks. If you have 4GB of RAM, it's going to force itself to use about 2.5 or 3 so you have a bit of space for yourself to run anything that you want. When you get 8, it will take up about 4 ish, and with 16 it'll use about the same, because that's what Windows needs in order to keep itself loaded and responsive.

Jay: Old people 30s...
Me 33 y.o. still playing games. SeemsGoodMan
Me, 54 and still playing games :-)
Beat yas both.... Devil's No.
Lol! I'm 38, and won't ever stop playing. My father in law is in his 60s too and he still plays.
Age doesnt matter, as long as its not an addiction you’re good.
@@johnmyyy4230 haha maybe it is, but I don't drink, smoke or do drugs, so I figure it's one vice!
I'm literally watching this on that exact laptop. LMAO
It looks like someone needs an upgrade ASAP 😅😅
ayeee same
F
Now you know what to do to make it faster...
...consider upgrading 😂
Ah, Nagatoro, i see you're a man of culture
Hey I'm 67, and I follow you! I'd built many computers, but the last time I did it was 8 years ago. It blew my mind when I heard about all of these strange new components. So you have helped me out.
I had a 6 year break from Computers after building them for over 20 years. I got so so tired of family members all wanting me to do their computers. Eventually i said look learn something about computers and gain some common sense BEFORE buying a computer. As i actually bought books and learned the components and how they work and how windows works BEFORE i ( self built) my very first ever pc. And because i understood it nothing went wrong. And i was quite pleased that i had achieved it. But then it didnt stop there! I then went on to learn how to web design and build websites all in my own time. It really amazes me the lack of common sense and knowledge some people have.
I work in school IT support and it is astounding and quite sad at the lack of basic troubleshooting skills of our staff. Not saying that in a rude way, but it has just been my observation. I've had an infuriatingly large number of tech "emergencies" where the problem was that the power strip was not turned on, plugged in, the computer wasn't docked, or the display was on the wrong input.
I actually do remember 10 being pretty fast at first, but now it is very sluggish after all the updates 😕
Same thing happened to me.
Dude same, I went threw a reinstall because of it
They changed from updates to downdates a yr after release
Me too, especially on the 2019 and later versions (Windows 10 1903 and later)
I knew it and unsitalled the expired antivirus and manualled my updates
I don't know why I'm watching this, I don't even have a laptop
Future proofing
I have an I7 rtx 2060 with 16gb ram tbh I have no excuse to be here
I'm only 19 yrs old but I want to earn money and buy things that I want. Like laptop HAHAHAHA
@@its_crazyisnt8712 if you have a choice get a desktop
Well don't buy a laptop they always sucks
Throwing SSDs into old laptops and reinstalling Windows for my friends has been my side gig for these past few months. My daily is now a 12yo i5 and it works just as well as anything for daily use.
SSDs are game changers for old machines. I threw a 500gb sata 3 ssd in my moms old pc, plus some more ddr3 ram. And even having a pentium, with a old ATI gpu, it ran just like new.
Will i3 first gen and 3gb ram with a good SSD run Windows 10 smoothly? or Windows 7 is better?
Amal S. Kuriakose If you can, linux. But if not, windows 7 would run good on it too.
12 year old i5? Damn
@@iCrackr yep. I5 430m running windows 10 just as well as my R5 3600
The updates thing shows the value of keeping the PC on and on the network. If a PC has been turned off and off network for longer than 6 months, don't expect it to be usable on boot.
Please do a video on the script. I'd love to see the potential even if minuscule performance boost on higher end machines.
Jay is only 39?? He looks 45.
Jay: Shut upp
There is no way he is only 45
I thought he was in his late 40’s early 50’s if I’m being honest
His hair turned white early. Find out about the actor Steve Martin. Same thing happened to him.
I would have said 42 or 43
Lol, I went white like Jay before 40 too. Started at 27. Good for him for not being vain and colouring his hair.
One of the most important things is to Disable animations and transparency and that kind of stuff.
I had a 4gb core 2 laptop for years and making windows 7 look like 98 helped me get much more usage out of it
cool, but how? stupid ass comment
not really
@@kubistonek you think this doesn't help? Why?
@@roeltaga turning off animations don't affect apps at all, and only has small effect on windows, but it's so minor that you will probably think it's slower since the animations just make it look fluid. It's basically like turning off loading screens because they take time to load... If your computer can handle windows it probably won't be affected at all by the windows animations, which as I said are only visible in windows menus
OLD! I'm 73 watching you and playing Red Dead Redemption 2.
Rename to: "How Jay's Laptop Got It's Groove Back"
I'd pay to watch that for an hour an 47 minutes.
Jay: (looks at a shiny 2 year old laptop with windows 10) Is this a real laptop?
Me: (Slowly looks at my 2010 HP Mini With Intel Atom Windows 7.)
My laptop was also very slow with windows 8 but recently I updated it to windows 10 (thinking it will become fast)
*It has become more slow*
Shiv Plays ngl that was kinda dumb
@@acidyyanimations4630 yeah I know🤨
Just install Lubuntu and you’ll see the difference
Me and my Intel Pentium: Wow this man have good things!
Thank you. Made a huge difference to an old Celeron 1.8Ghz laptop which was continuously running the CPU at 99%. Ran the Windows10 Bloatware script and now it purrs along at just 6%! It's never going to be a greyhound but now it's not a tortoise either!
I loved the choice of words over there! 😊
DON'T CELERON AND PENTIUM ATOM DO i3
THE END CELERON
whwere do we get that script from?
There were two laptops from my childhood that are still in use to this day, one is a 2013 acer and the other a 2015 dell inspiron. I have been eyeing both for a bit and I plan to revive them with new parts and maybe use them as a linux computer
Definitely wanna see that vid on homeschooling a kindergartner lol, sounds like a great idea
Nintendo Switch Academy
Definitely
Jay: "Speeding up an ideapad"
Me: watching on an ideapad
*laughs in ThinkPad*
Same...
My advice to speed up your old dual-core laptop is an SSD and a lightweight Linux distro. This is what I did to my 7 years old Dell Inspiron, and it immediately started to fly again. I've been happily using the old warrior for more than a year now after the 'upgrades'.
Linux is fantastic for adding life back to an older laptop OR old desktop. If you have the disk space you can install the linux system and a VM, then install some old version of windows in the VM and keep the old thing running just fine.
if you watch the video, upgrading the SSD isn't possible in this model, linux would still be a valid option depending on the user and how well supported the hardware is though
Really glad you do these cause I'm having to fix my moms laptop and there is so much junk I almost dont know where too start
Love that you used the debloater script, I had actually found it from another video about a month prior to this one being posted(first time seeing it), after every update I run it on the partners and my computers and it helps immensely some I have reinstalled like the xbox app but the majority of it is garbage that microcrap should never have included to begin with
Moneysoft
Where can I get the debloater code? Please share that video where it explains how the debloater works?
@@saadhussain6514bro have you doing it? I need the debloater lmfao but everyone is gatekeeping it.
I can confirm that windows has gotten resource heavy over the years. I was a Windows insider using the preview version as a daily. The preview releases were not resource heavy other than a period where there was a memoryleak. Only in later preview versions and full release did it become super resource heavy and ran into much higher cpu, ram and disk usage.
14:30, download the script from github and run it. Thank me later for saving your time.
No shit Sherlock
No one would thank you later, because they're not wasting time
Typing it,
They would just like your comment and move on, not exactly thanking you
@@outernoro You successfully wasted 3 min typing that comment.
thank you
thank you after watching the vid
Worked a treat on a Lenovo Miix 300 (80NR0022UK) Tablet PC (Intel Atom, 2GB RAM, 32GB Storage, Windows 10), only used for light browsing more responsive now.
Just used this tonight on my HP Elite 8300 SFF i5 2400 with 16Gb DDR3 that I use for my plex server, as well as encoding in OBS, and holy crap it's a lot snappier than it was before. Thanks @JayzTwoCents !
"By older folk I mean people that are in their 30s"
... Ouch
IKR
31 and dying slowly.
Yeah, that one hurt. I'm not going to go into specifics, but the first computer I built was a 286 and it was fairly current at that time.
The real question is: how many family members does Jay have? ^^
6
All of them!
ITS OVER 9000!!!!
Plot twist :everyone in his neighborhood is his family member...
Is that ur real doubt
My notebook is from 2010 with a such outdated i3-350M. I literally tried everything: new hardware components (more RAM, removed the HDD and replaced with SSD, deep cleaning, and so on). But this method was like another dimension. Thanks for the tip, my little friend is much-much faster now and i don't have to replace it :)
