Matt is resurrecting a 10-year-old laptop with only 4GB of memory. How can he make it run faster?

I am trying to resurrect an old but good-in-its-day laptop for my son to use for his A-levels. I have bought a cheap 256GB SSD to improve the read/write speeds, but it seems I am stuck with the current 4GB of memory. Its two memory slots could support 8GB but 4GB DDR2 memory modules are prohibitively expensive at roughly £65 each. It doesn’t seem to make sense spending that sort of money on outdated memory technology for a 10-year-old laptop.

Trade it for a Mac. You may have to throw in some money. $1,000. And a Ferrari.

Go faster stripes

4gb of ram is not enough upgrade it to 8gb and replace chrome with Firefox

Put it in the bin and buy a mac

Linux is only free if your time is worth nothing.

Ubuntu

Install Linux

Throw it out the window?

easy, delete every single update and dont allow it to update, keep it at its base form, its faster because all the updates slow your cpu by half for some reason. the first update you install is focused on cutting your cpu in half. its not worth it, just dont update at all

Why Windows when there are lightweight Linux distros available?

The poorest performing OS from them ever. It’s also a giant spyware package.

By using your muscular power to toss it across a room

Your first port of call should be here:

Part exchange it for a macbook?

Take out the AMD processor and replace it with an Intel 😁

first, you must use SSD 😬
