Yeah I feel like I'm the only person who liked Vista lol. I think the main problem with it was people trying to install it on ancient PC's rather than upgrade to newer PC's that actually supported it.
Windows Vista was actually good. The problem was it was meant for more powerful hardware snd Microsoft didn't give clear info on the exact specs needed to run Vista. It was a powerful operating system and a technical marvel of its time.
Actually, they did give the hardware requirements. Unfortunately, nowadays which includes Windows Vista’s era, no one reads the instruction manual, so no one saw it.
6:45 The windows default usb installer is set to install by UEFI mode, which is the modern standard. Older laptops, before windows 7 used the legacy BIOS mode which doesn't support UEFI. An easy way to work around is this is to flash the windows iso using Rufus, and is selected to Legacy mode.
I remember when the computer room in my school had 29 Windows XP’s and 1 windows vista and we were all assigned to our own computer... I was assigned to the only windows vista pc
I have a huge soft spot for Vista bc it was the first operating system that my family owned. Sure, the OS was extremely clunky, slow, and buggy but it introduced me to the internet and computers in general
This was my first ever laptop I had back in 2007/8! It was okay enough to play RPG games like Maplestory (yes, I know) but with mostly low-medium settings. WiFi was not particularly great, so a Ethernet cable was the way to go. The most standout part was the audio/mic jacks up in the front, however, luckily that design didn't catch on.
@@oniruddhoalam2039 obviously it will be from the same era. But actually modern CPUs run much cooler and use up less power than older ones because they are much more efficient. AMD CPUs are now on 7nm for example
Fun fact 2: different coolers for different configurations Fun fact 3: whitelists 😂 I'd try that on an old Sony but worthy CPUs cost an arm and a leg so nah
Pentium or Core should give an advantage, but I'll check the max supported CPUs first. laptops back then are really flexible in terms of upgradibility and maintenance.
@@previousslayer bruh I got a laptop with an I5 ninth gen with a gtx 1050 for like 800 bucks. Thing is, my countries' prices are bloated and our money sucks, so I'm positive you could get it cheaper there.
I had Aspire 3100, I bought it in 2006 at Staples. Man, it was my most glitchy laptop ever. I had to fix cooling system by myself, cuz it was installed skewed and the computer froze from time to time + the RAM was broken, but the problem went away with a memory upgrade. The DVD drive died almost immediately.... in general, as you noticed, it was a fun machine :)
most modern laptops have lots of ports. Less than before but enough. My Dell G3 has 3 USB ports, HDMI, headpone jack, ethernet port and a full size SD card slot.
@@oblivion2755 yeah the 1060 version of my laptop has thunderbolt too. it's the top configuration though, my 1050 doesn't even have a type c in it's place which is a huge shame

I have a 2006 Acer Aspire 3103WLMi laptop. It had 512mb of ram when it got it and it also had an ATI Radeon Xpress 1100. It came with Windows XP, but I installed Vista with 512mb of ram and then I installed Windows 7 Ultimate. It wasn't and still isn't slow and browsing is surprisingly quick for it's age. I installed another 512mb from my other non working 3103WLMi and the computer runs smoothly. Definitely a reliable computer. CPU and Ram usage is very low. CPU usage is usually 2% or 1% and doesn't go over.
Let’s be glad that there are laptops thinner than this yet some are like 10x more powerful. Expect for ports, heck my 4 year old Lenovo G5135 (80M8) has ports (Power, VGA, HDMI, Ethernet, 2 USB 3 ports, A dead disc drive, and 1 usb 2 port)
There is little to no difference in performance of end of life Vista and Windows 7 - either Windows 7 would perform no better on that hardware and this applies to both OSs, or something is wrong with the laptop.
