Finally someone acknowledging that Nah seriously, the original owner who bought it 12+ years ago, bought a very nice laptop, now it's ancient, battery not working, slow (w)lan, slow hdd, slow usb, etcetc... all still in pristine condition but not really useful for running modern OS's.
You could use the win 11 boot & upgrade fix tool but we don't know how long that will last, for now it still is working
You really think I'm in for the pain, eh? I guess there are rabbit holes you really shouldn't stick your head into. I doubt a 64bit OS would run very well with 1GiB RAM, if at all. 32bit is already slow enough, thank you and come again.
Maybe I'll eventually try when I'm really bored. With a backup, of course. There's only one reason I still have this thing - it hasn't blown up, yet, and I simply cannot throw away any working hardware (it's a genetic defect I guess).
@Carlos Detweiller - now you have to do it! experience the seldom brilliant windows 11 kernel and it's robust memory allocation, chocked to death by the heaviest bulls**t uwp ui of all time and the unhinged telemetry of dev builds microsoft surely did not test it on potatoes ffs, virtual memory with 20GB ram is set to 900MB, virtual memory with 2GB ram is set also to 900MB - but it crawls on and even manages to keep <80% commit usage open the overrated chredge with 4-5 tabs and it reaches stand-stills (firefox v78 esr is much more smoother and better supports potatoes, unlike all chromium based browsers) 1GB and less ram might not be doable out-of-the-box
The appraiserres.dll replacement is solely meant for upgrades. To fix boot.wim use https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/win-11-boot-and-upgrade-fix-kit-v2-0.83724/ Please let me know if the install shows cpu requirements aren't met.
Hello, sorry but I got confused given the age ... I tried to install twice with a clean installation, in dual boot, with the following ISO: "22000.1.210604-1628.CO_RELEASE_CLIENTMULTI_X64FRE_IT-IT_Picard74" and with "Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview 10.0.22000.51 (x64) Multilanguage" following the instructions reported in the following Blog. The installations arrive until the end of the updates, but when it comes to rebooting the OS, it restarts and gets stuck with the black screen, only the mouse remains visible and you can't do any more action, not even turn off the system, you have to force shutdown ... Where am I wrong? Thank you for any help.
Don't use homebrew ISOs from unknown sources, create 22000.176 ISO at UUP dump (fix it when needed) and retry.
