Do you hp computer old on install Windows 11?
I have a pavilion dv6500 and it cant even handle windows 10 installation 🥲
@@e.n85784 it should manage. if you know what you are doing.
Okey
@@dimashlovers probably because it was 22h2. Maybe an older version will be better.

Could've fooled me haha
That is why I even clicked on this video 😂😂

It probably could work as one too lol
I use a computer from 2008 with windows 11 daily and I have literally no issues. The secret is to get an SSD and upgrade the CPU. People drastically underestimate the capability of older computers.
What CPU do you have, I have a core 2 duo and want to try this.
@@efeloteishe4675 core2duo E8400. I recommend one of the later Core2Duos.
@@efeloteishe4675 I also recommend upgrading your ram to at least 4GB 8GB preferably but 4GB will run Windows 11 decently though.
@@efeloteishe4675what laptop model is it
I honestly didn't know upgrading the cpu was possible in that era of laptops. I always say minimum 8GB RAM and an SSD will boost up any older computer enough to be decently usable. But a CPU upgrade would be an even bigger punch.
2010s design somehow looks better imo
They really do!
i hate the minimalism of modern laptops. my toshiba qosmio is literally the polar opposite of it
late 2000s, early 2010s computer design is much better than the boring minimalist aesthetics of today, besides most computer nowadays you can't even upgrade the SSD, but this PC from 2009, you have easy access to the RAM, HDD, WIFI CARD, and I bet you could upgrade the CPU on that thing. Plus, because the laptop has more thickness, they are able to pack in much better cooling, processing power, key travel and battery life.
@@WildEuphoricEnergy my laptop can upgrade CPU which is amazing imo
@@spreasyexd very much so!
You broke the secondary WiFi antenna cable, it will still work, but you will have a bit worse WiFi reception.
The display turning black for a second is a display initialisation procedure, it was probably Ram training because you reset the bios by taking out the small coin cell battery witch is why it didn't start at first.
Shove an ssd in it and then put w10/11 on it, it will actually be kinda usabale, i used older computers, but I prefer w10 on theese old bricks.
Thankfully the cable wasn't a major component, I hope to make this laptop a project of mine where I'll continue adding on to it and fixing it further.
it is actually really easy to take HP laptops apart when you know what you are doing.
.

Try taking apart a thinkpad.
You're right I don't know what I'm doing!
I hate taking apart HP laptops, because you have to take everything on the bottom cover, the keyboard and a cover under the keyboard out.
@@ryankery5052 It really isnt a nig deal compared to some of the others
To be clear old thinkpads from the xp days were shit to take apart, my modern thinkpad l13 yoga gen 2, it's a robust laptop with easy to dissasemble
@@mr.technologysilva8856
Old hard to take apart thinkpads were the quality bricks, the new thinkpads are everything but quality and sturdy.
I was working with the same laptop recently, it's built so you push everything on the front, from the back. And the back cover pops off once you get keyboard out. No need for taking off the screen and dissasembling the top half of the laptop. The sound you we're hearing was something hitting the fan blades. Very good video tho keep it up!
Haha yeah, maybe I should’ve had a guide with me before hand 😅
@@GregBaloney I have the compaq version of that laptop
cq60?
@@tallreversdi got the compaq cq60-215dx, both of the hinges broke off, but it works, windows 11 ran alright, but i always use windows 10 on it.
@@tallreversd i personally owned a cq62 209-wm
Him: *turns it on*
The laptop: Lawnmower mode!
I installed Win11 also on an ancient HP Compaq 6820S from like 2007 and it was running actually not bad, if it had an SSD I would absolutely call it usable
man you deleting the recovery partition of the windows 7 hp oem thing just hurts my soul. Except for that W vid keep it up!
The lawnmower sound was epic.
Broke a cable? No problem. As long as it works 😂
As someone who did laptop repairs for the last few years, in can be VERY frustrating.
Especially the ones that put the RAM on the other side of thr motherboard.
bro you have a good future in this work keep going
Thank you so much! The more practice the better I'll get!
0:10 That thing sounds rougher than the Verhovina my neighbor is allowing to turn to dust for fun, that's a big achievement.
Nice video mate, good editing, keep it up
Thank you so much! Thank you for watching
Surprisingly enough I'm using the same exact same HP G60 laptop to write this comment. I went and put a SSD, max the RAM out to 4GB and installed Windows 7 Super Lite on it alongside Nightmayor's modded Intel 4500 GPU drivers (meant for Windows 10 and 11). With proper tweaking I was able to watch this video at 720p 30 fps max using the h264ify extension/addon with Supermium and MyPal browsers. I haven't tried gaming on it yet but I'm guessing 2D games would run fine on it, as well as light 3D games. But as said on Nightmayor's tenforums post there's a bug with his driver regarding about OpenGL error. Intel disabled something with the drivers and he cannot re enable it, so there's a bug with photo and video editing program. Which in this case Photoshop CS6, if you use the GPU Acceleration alongside the pen and custom shape tool the whole canvas goes gray and it makes it unusable unless you deselect GPU Acceleration. On the other hand Blender 2.79b runs great tho, rendering using the "Blender Render" made it render a bit faster. There's also Royal BNA and PHDGD GPU drivers which are older but I haven't tried them yet. A lighter Linux distro would probably make it more faster. Lastly great video showing this chunky laptop, I love how you edited this and shared your insights on it.
I put windows 11 on an old Dell T5400. It smashed it.
As interesting as seeing windows 11 on old tech, no windows OS will ever be better than windows 7. I'm still going to use it on all of my machines that support it until its unusable - but considering server 2008 R2 is still receiving patches, I don't think it will be a problem.
one thing to avoid in the future: using a hp laptop, or any hp computer in general
This is in pristine condition. Meanwhile by HP Probook from college was used as a frisbee.
A better use for it in my opinion
I also had an hp laptop in 2009 given by my grandpa.
Also windows 11 just froze on startup on my 2021 laptop...
My 2012 dell e6530 is rocking a windows 10 installation! Smooth as butter with an ssd (even on 8gb ram) minus a VERY loud fan
Well, after seeing the process of Disassemble from beginning until end, I think... If My Mom's Asus laptop even my new Ideapad Laptop, is simpler to disassemble (takes less time), almost like Framework have (while Framework maybe much better than 2 Laptops I wrote above when comes to disassembly)
Him: Turns it on
Pc: You revived me finally after idk how much years
interesting video, i remember taking apart a hp a year ago and i just forgot how to reassamble it and.. let's say it's sitting in my closet waiting to be put back together 😆
You should give it another shot! It's a fun little project to do
its just a shame to see that humanity is getting worse and it goes to show that people dont respect people who do hard work the fact u r brave and not shy in the camera in itself such a big thing
of urself is just a facination hope you will be succesfull
Thank you again! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Raising hell itself
i cant believe that ur making soo good content and seeing you with not even 1k subscribers that means everyone does like but dont worry i am a supporter of you ❤ you
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support!
What's this computer?
wait holy shit i still have this laptop
I'm surprised at how difficult it was for you because I also have a HP laptop from 2010 that run Windows 7 on it I got it from my granddad it was my nan's laptop the reason why I got it from my granddad is because my nan sadly passed away back in 2020 and the moment I got it the hard drive immediately started dying on it before I had the chance to back everything up on it website where I could gather some back on it I replaced it with a similar hard drive that also died the battery was also fucked on it replaced the battery and instead of guessing another similar hard drive I just swapped out with a 500 gigabyte SSD flashed windows 11 on it using WinToUsb got that up and running and I split the partition in half and I also installed Windows 7 on it so now I have Windows 7 and windows 11 on it just so that way its stays original and have new software on it at the same time
What about Windows 11 IOT LTSC Enterprise in this laptop ?
The fan have bad or unoiled bearings, or a cracked/missing blade.
I have a dell latitude 7490, and I repaired it at least 51 times (not joking). It is actually pretty easy to open. All I have to do is unscrew 8 screws and lift the bottom cover off.
I'm pretty sure this laptop could be disassembled in a simpler way but I'm an idiot haha. 51 times is insane!
Whenever I open a laptop, I look for a guide or manual to do that. Mostly those can be found. Ans sometimes a UA-camr already made a video about is. And that all together saved me a lot of time! But that laptop you have there was ... well... dusty.... 🤭
Another thing: you installed Windows 11 on it. Try Tiny 11, that is Windows 11, without all the crap that comes with Windows. And I presume you used Rufus to pass the TPM 2.0 and processor check?
Old boys are easier to repair save the particulars that are like specific
*I Voluntarily Installed A Bundle of 500 Rootkits on a 2009 HP Laptop and Gave it My Info
🤷🏻♂️
12:06 air conditioner noise🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice video
Thank you for watching!
i think you have a broken fan
also yea the thermal paste is another thing you should change. and dont use windows 11 please (well without destroying it by using the chris titus tool, open shell, retrobar, explorerpatcher etc until its virtually unrecognisable and breaks as soon as you use windows update)
tldr linux is a smarter option
These are all very helpful tips! Windows was honestly just for fun haha
i think u may need to change to thermal paste lol
I think you may be right haha!
This video is underrated af, but hey the laptop sound like a car 😅
The 2009 hp laptop don't support windows 11 versions plz downgrade to Windows 7 Professional SP1 lmao
it'll work perfect with ssd+windows 10 or 8.1
Does a painstaking disassembly and reassembly of a laptop only to clean a half broken cooling fan. Oh, and also installs Windows 11 on that 15 year old machine, but only allocates 3 minutes of the video to that. Weird!
Haha, honestly wanted to see if I could even do any of that
An SSD upgrade would do wondere
bro that fan needs a replacing for real
I might make this project a long-going one where I continue adding to it to improve it. Thank you for watching!
this was a fun video :)
Glad you enjoyed!
watching this on a 2008 hp on windows 10, they don't make them like they used to :/
I had the almost same laptop thats dead now
Gpu is cooked
I actually own a HP laptop that is old (EliteBook 6930p)
I installed windows server 2022 on dell studio 1555 😅😅😅😅 still work like charm tho
I HAVE THE SAME LAPTOP (my grandma gave me it) I STILL NEED A CHARGER FOR IT
You can turn the laptop into a DIY home server for jellyfin or plex. It would work.
Definitely an option I've been thinking of!
your lucky you got to wor with out going in the bios since ti wont let you imstall it with out sercure boot enabled. the cpu and tpm you can bypass but i have a laptop i want put on but there no secure boot
I think you shoud install tiny11 on it, its windows 11 but with less bloatware and better performance
That’s a really good idea thank you for letting me know!
I have same one but stock was vista but i enyered windows 10
I have an HP laptop from 2020 and to be honest it's not too different
i installed windows 11 on a 2006 laptop
this was in summer 2022, it was a dell Inspiron 1501 and the result... laggy af
I wonder if u can clean my Dell XPS M1530 😂
I have that same laptop
i have a 2009 hp pc with windows 11 and its not even supposed to have windows 11 its supposed to have windows 10
I have old 2006 hp laptop even with ssd installed it run very slow💀
Is that a laptop or motorcycle
Idk tbh
I opened it a different way on Lenovo computer unfortunately the same issue you didn't even realize that you just broke one of the Wi-Fi antennas I'm sorry that I have to break it to you but this also happened to me I wanted to display off because it was broken DON'T DO IT IT'S NOT WORTH IT
why are you whereing gloves
Cause it was extremely dirty with years of gunk on it
I had that exact laptop lmao
try win 11 lite .
why didn't you remove the dvd drive?
Honestly I wanted to keep the original parts the same
@@GregBaloney while you were working on it. one screw, and you would have had a way easier time...
try windoes 10 on it
did you upgrade the ram and upgrade to ssd?
Hp makes some of the junkiest laptops out there 😂
Perfect for modding
@@GregBaloney you def aren’t wrong in that avenue. I had one of those problem ridden hp laptops, I remember the hinge on the screen broke and I tore the entire screen off and used it as a desktop that I would connect to my tv as the display. 😂
yea, put arch on it, no windows on such old stuff man, no good for hardware
Can I install Windows 11 on my MacBook Air that way I have a product key but it’s for Windows 10
I believe there is a way to have both OS’s on one system. However, I strongly advise you keep Apple and don’t change it please 😂
@@GregBaloney I mean using the Windows 10 key to upgrade to Windows 11
Nice vid!
Thank you for watching!
Why tf does this have so many views???
I don’t know tbh
Becuase this isnt the hadest thing to do (install win11 on win7 device). Its can be easily bypassed with few dwords in regedit. And dont forget about Tiny11, AstroOS and more.
One of the first laptop repairs I did was on the Compaq version of this HP, I had two of them and one had a bad fan while the other had a bad ram slot. I moved the fan over to the good motherboard and upgraded it to a Turion RM-72(they both were the AMD versions) Honestly these things aren't that bad to take apart, just need a bit of patience. The laptop I've struggled with the most was my Sister's old silver Pavilion 15, that was a nightmare. Though I still haven't gotten to replacing the failing hard drive on my iBook G4, which I'm sure is worse.
I remember taking apart my mother's 2007 HP to upgrade it's specs & upgrade it to Windows 11. It has hard but worth it! She got so mad at the technician after I showed her Windows 11 on it, because he told her it won't be able to be updated to windows 11!
She shouldn't be mad at the technician, because it's literally not supposed to be able to run windows 11.
I bet it runs like shit too. Beter to instal debian 12.
You can * technically * install modern versions of windows on most older computers, but there's a reason technicians don't recommend it, it will be incredibly slow unless you already are upgrading the computer's hardware and de-bloating the OS. But most average people are never going to do that, they just buy a new laptop.
@@yannick7230did you even READ what the comment said? they did it for their mother, a mother who probably don't know much about tech. installing Linux is completely insane
@@underscoredotpng Linux is actually really easy to use once it's properly installed. If you install Debian, a web browser, LibreOffice and an email client she will have everything she needs.
On windows she will be confused by random popups, ads, random changes decided on by microsoft, ...
@GregBaloney did you repaste the heatsink?
I did not! I definitely should though
No joke I used to run one of these back in 2013, my grandma gave it to me haha, ram Windows Vista on it for a while, and then I put Linux on it and used it like that till 2017 when it died randomly
Put modern software on simple hardware.
Greg Baloney: What could possibly go wrong?
now just change hdd to cheap ssd and the os as Tiny11 + cut off unneccary apps/start processes (msconfig). then all drivers install. brave browser would be my recomendation for any pc more than 8 years of life today (options make it even lighter/faster to use)
I still use my Asus K42f from 2011 I think? yesterday I had to repaste it and it worked fine with windows 10 though... My only issue with it is that I can't connect it to wifi or else the fans turns into plane mode lol I'm only keeping it because it's unique in someways and it has a DvD drive so whenever I wanna use my old DvD I just have to connect it to the Tv using HDMI
back in the day i used to install osx86 leopard on it those laptops where awsome
I thought this Laptop would be as easy as Framework does, I mean tearing it down 😅😂. I think Older Laptop were just modular and fairly easy to disassembly (depends on the Models and brand)
It turns out it was simpler than I thought I just should’ve had a guide
I thought it said 'i put windows 11 on a 2009 horspower laptop'
I have a Compaq Presario CQ56 Celeron 900 still has Windows 7. Should I torcher the laptop by Installing Windows 11 or even Windows 10? BTW it only has 2 GB Ram and it actually runs pretty good for a Celeron with 2 GB. I am not going to take it apart other than taking the door off ram and hard drive no way Jose!!! I can repair Desktops but Laptops no way Jose!!!
Honestly that’s up to you haha
Maybe you could of upgraded the CPU to the amd turion and the GPU to the nvidia gforce 8200m I have the hp g60 with that CPU and GPU and it works great with windows 10
I could’ve done that yes! I enjoy the excitement of not knowing what to change or what to expect, but you’re right!
@@GregBaloneyI used to have this model years ago and I gave it to a friend and now I have another model of it, the one with the silver keyboard
Those fans should get fixed. But good vid. 👍
Definitely need a good fix, but thank you!
Mines was windows 7
it is either crying for help, or is powered by a lawnmower
Tbh all you had to do was make rufus iso but your way works
I have a second drive with Rufus, but I couldn't find it. Had to make a new one
Is that the fan thats crying out for help
Yes it is
Skills issues 😂
100%
These cables are for the WIFI. in other words. you cant use wifi no more
I'm surprised the browser worked then!
@@GregBaloney it worked but only bc the antennas were taken off, the wifi card still remained tho
Nothing will happens just signal strength will not like vefore in other words slow and 2.4ghz wifi only 😊
You goddamn guy. Windows 7 has a place in my heart.
replace thermal paste please
do not ever install windows 11 on an old laptop. ever. or even not install windows 11 on any laptop, as it is horrible.
I will end up changing the thermal paste soon. As for the Windows, idk what to tell you lol
