Dual boot Windows Vista and Hannah Montana Linux for the ultimate computing experience.

The Windows 10 background on the Profile looks like it was deep fried

Wheres iCarly Linux though huh? >:(

>not Red Star OS

Haha! You had me on the Win 10 playing portal man. I was like wtf! There's no way 10 is that well optimised compared to XP! Good one Also a hackintosh install would be interesting on the Portal, if it still runs of course

Lubuntu: lubricant + Ubuntu Hannah Montana Linux: Miley Cyrus + copyright strike

My school still uses these for Windows 10. I told the school board and "we don't have enough money for new computers". Although we do have enough for an air conditioner in the teacher's lounge, principal office, and superintendent office. As well as new vending machines 4 in the hallways, 2 in lunch room, and 1 in the auditorium (not gym, the place where we go for announcements)). They charge $1.25 for M&Ms, $2.00 for sodas, $2.75 for a Hershey bar, and $2.50 for chips. By the way, the computers were originally donated and only 9 of them were bought with fundraisers. We have 15 in total in the library. I asked if there was a way we could do a fundraiser for newer computers, and was told that it'd be just too expensive...

6:10 thank you for respecting our ear drums

I am surprized that 800x600 was the only option on 8 and 10. Usually windows allows at least a bunch of 4:3 resolutions even with old weird graphics chips.

0:47 Brought back some memories from my childhood. I used to play Hamsterball for _hours_ as a kid... I just *loved* it.

Waiting the 1000 comments about the line on the screen

Okay but "The Best of Both Worlds" is unironically a bop

Interesting content, solid editing and witty banter. Good job, subbed.

i love watching your videos. makes me feel smart

Even though I don't understand completely what is going on in these videos they are still a treat to watch.

There's a version of 4074 called 'The Way It Was Meant To Be' that resolves some issues from 4074. That might fix issues with the Profile.

Hi, I have a few subjects suggestions for this channel -Purble Place (an obscure vista game) -music and photos that used to come for free with Windows -wordart feature, not only the well-known 97 Rainbow version, but also the ones that came before and after (the current one has all the old features plus glow bevel and reflection) I know this is like the fourth time I post this comment but I'd be very interested in these subjects, given this channel talks about obscure tech products, and that is a rare and fascinating subject

Im really really happy about your channel growth

This is a very good channel, keep the train going!

Great video as always

You almost got me with that smooth Windows 10 and portal 2 on the profile! Damn!! 😆

8:58 when Maury said 'in the case of 15 years old Gateway, the Windows 10, you are NOT the father!'

Lol... you caught me with running it as a monitor to play Portal 2. Well played!

I LOVE UR CHANNEL!

Lmao the way you featured Windows 10 was really pleasing

8:55 We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled.

oh man, I *know* what's coming and it's going to be *beautiful*. Grabbin' mah popcorn rn.

A cardinal sin, Hannah Montana Linux

Yay an upload :D

This is why I wish I knew more about old computers

you make a great video

the mesa drivers the come with ubuntu and lubuntu work great on pretty much any form of intel graphics, it's only nvidia and amd graphics that u actually need to bother installing drivers for

You got me there with portal 2 :d

Try running Portal 2 on Lubuntu

That longhorn version you showed off in this vid. Makes me want that ui style on current and future windows os.

Oooh, an old all-in-one might be a fun way to do recipes and podcasts in the kitchen...

I'd like an All-In-One that's modular. Yeah, it'd be a bit heavy and large, but it'd be nice to have the entire computer in one box.

that bit where you were using it as a monitor totally fooled me lol

9:05 That's a intersting wallpaper =D

8:49 I was like. What?!?! How's that possible 😂😂

8:58 OMG I never knew you also had a HP Pavilion Profile 5.5678!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

@The Science Elf what is the music from your "The Rais and Fall of Java" video and where did you find background music for your videos?

Longhorn will always live for it's aesthetics such as the famous "Aero", wished if they still kept the aesthetics of Longhorn for the Win OSes onward. Long live Longhorn!

I'm not sure if this has already been said, but Linux probably did have the proper graphics drivers for that machine. It has multiple drivers built into the kernel, so it supports a lot of hardware out of the box. The downside is that installing missing drivers can be really *really* difficult, so sometimes it's easier to try different distros that might have better drivers for your machine. Great video btw!

NICE VIDEO

oh my lord... I clicked on the thumbnail because I started having flashbacks because literally every single PC in my high school was one of these. omg

To install video drivers, you need to open the device manager program, open the video controller section, select the video driver's folder that has all the files and then hit Update Driver. The drivers will install without needing to use the EXE that Intel provides.

you can always rebuild it into a custom made retro rig build with a discreetly fitted in wide screen and widen the chassis to fit bigger parts inside.

8:36 Fleetwood Mac is one of my favourite bands and Rhiannon is my favourite song from them, i like your style

Good video

If you dual boot HM Linux with Windows XP, you get the best of both worlds!

Have you ever tried Or are going to try using the pci EGPU box on bang good?

It actually is very compact and will be useful for putting it near a wall

Limited in motherboard upgrades is true. But are there any possible options? I’ve seen someone run XP on a Wii with some other motherboard in it. Granted those specs were even weaker, but it ran on such a tiny platform. I mean is there anything? This is just an uneducated guess, but, would any laptop boards work?

Krazy Ken is rolling in his grave, and he's not even dead!

Gotta love hanna Montana linux

9:00 oh you. You had me there!

you just gave me a nostalgic heart attack when you mentioned hamster ball jesus christ

now it's time to kick things up a notch and install Haiku OS

I may not have the first comment, but you're the first KZfaqr in my heart

You should have installed Gentoo :3 (jk, thanks for showing some linux love!)

1:07 Is that the Crystal Dream II demo on the screen there? Or just a generic "cube and prism" screensaver of some sort?

My 12 years old eMachines e510 (that originally came with Win. XP or Vista) laptop runs Windows 8.1 very well.

Been using Lubuntu on my Ryzen 3 PC for almost 2 years now and even use it for my web dev job and it works perfectly fine. It's great if you want to maximize the limited resources of your computer.

I burst out laughing when he shows the "real" Windows 10 performance. That wallpaper is so good

Is this computer an intel pentium 4 as a cpu processor? I have an old alienware area 51-m 766 with a pentium 4 (pre-hyperthreading) so it always throws up an error that "your pc needs to restart". Is you machine the hyperthreading pentium 4? Because The hyperthreading pentium 4 can install windows 8/10 just fine from what I ahve researched

I want an ultrawide version of this pc

I am just amazed with win 10 all together. I purchased a used dell D620 laptop for 80 bucks on ebay once which comes with Core 2 Duo windows xp, which I decided to upgrade from xp to windows 10, which suprisingly perform pretty well, and in fact somewhat better than the XP that it originally comes with. I used to be a win 7 fan, but after this experience, I just decided to give win 10 more love, especially when it comes to older machine

I tried the same driver in Windows 8 and 10 on an old dell latitude laptop and after running the driver in XP compatibility mode it worked!!!

The Win8 Background looks like something made with the grafitti tool on MS Paint

An OS upgrade? This will maybe be interesting...

I had a green line on my second monitor screen but it went away ever since I watched your first Gateway video.

Before 8:55 you actually had me for a second lol. Also that computer looks very similar to mine, only mines black not blue. and mines amd based. Edit: And probably newer too.

Should have done debain, and mint as well LMAO! Still, good video

When I was a kid like 6 I used to play a bake a cake game on Windows 7 pre installed

Awaits ScienceElfOS

8:57 I genuinely fell for it

"Give us LInux!!!!" TSE: OK. "..." "Wait no" "NOT LIKE THAT"

2:35 Looks like modern art =D

Hey, is there something wrong with your sound compression? Mic sounded weird

you could try looking on the intel site for the driver. ive found some old ones here before.

8:44 Oh my god it's working 9:00 You got me...

i wonder if that line in the screen could be cause by bad caps some where

If you want to have the drivers for 8.1 or 10 you have to upgrade from windows 7 since it will keep the drivers.

galculator? 5:27

Hi Science Elf, would it be illegal if someone downloaded an ISO of Vista as it is now been discontinued? Just a question

8:56 Thinks about installing Windows 10 on 2008 Mac Pro 8:58 Thank god

I could be wrong but I think there is a PCMCIA external GPU adapter, mount, think on a Chinese site. Can you do a follow up using that and a cheap GPU like the GT 1030 or RX 550.

I just want more people to play Club Penguin with.

I would have loved to see you try to play Portal on Lubuntu on it. Sort of as a comparison between the Windows XP and Linux driver performance

Would it be probibal for someone to reverse engineer the xp driver to make it windows 8 and 10 compatable

You could try Windows 10 S. I don't actually know if there is any way to put this on as a non OEM install though.

I scanned that QR code....

Yeah dual booting is a good idea :) I did tons of dual booting back in the day before switching to linux 100%

For the next odd obscure computer you review try AmigaOS. It would be nice.

What if you upgrade from 7 to 8? Do the drivers maybe work than?

you could use it as a terminal or run the newest freebsd on it

When you buy a computer to use it as your monitor for your other computer.

now we r talkin

Question: What about neptune or whistler?
