Laptop

So the old AMD A series laptop from about 10-14 years ago decided to get worse and worse, it was about 10-14 years old I think and was not much I can do for it. Luckly I had another laptop sitting in the closet the wife’s ex husband left behind as he could never get it to work properly for him and I got it working just fine, its an Intel HP 15 F272wm Energy Star edition and can only use 8gb of ram but it seems to be working a lot better then the old one. Its got Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU N3540 and I put a stick of Samsung ddr3l in it, the hard drive is gonna be a pain to trade out cause of how they put it together and would require the whole laptop to be taken apart almost completely to get to the hard drive. If I ever get brave enough I do have a 1tb Sandisk ssd I can use. This laptop isnt made for gaming but it works for browsing and discord lol. The old laptop is on a shelf for backup just incase now.

Edit: I did do a few tweaks with virtual memory as well.

Changing out hard drives in laptops can be a pain. It is annoying and a side effect of them wanting to make laptops small.

This one requires you to remove the front top plate, the keyboard and some other things to get to it. Yea no, ill pass its got Intel and only allows 8gb of ram so its temporary till I manage to get other things I need done…
