upgrade 10 years my laptop travelmate

I have an Acer Travelmate 4502WLMi that I bought almost 10 years ago. I used it almost every day and it has never let me down, even the battery is still ok.

Unfortunately, Microsoft gave up Windows XP and I need to use another operating system.

Windows 7 and Linux Ubuntu 14 Debian wheezy won't work on this old Pentium M 725 processor. I hate to throw things, if they work, I would like to repair or recycle things, so my question is this: is there a processor more recent I can go to? Is this compatible with the motherboard and BIOS?

I already spent several hours trying to answer these questions, but without success. Any suggestions? (outside 'kill the dinosaur').

concerning

Paul

Spec:

Acer Travelmate 4502WMLi

Intel Pentium M 725 (Dothan?) 1.6ghz

drive hard 60g

1 GB DDR

Windows XP pro

The best upgrade for the Pentium M 725 is a Pentium M 755 @ 2 GHz. He has a 100% working chance. It is not more modern, just faster. You'd have the same problems of installation of Windows 7.

    I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    Hello

    Your question is not very clear to understand.

    If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

    There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

    How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

    Try Amazon.com, etc.

    ___________________________________________________________

    And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:

    You tell us what type of license you have.

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  • 2 years old laptop trying to upgrade Vista fm in Win7-worth the trouble?

    I have a old 2 year that I consider the upgrade from Vista to Win7 laptop.

    This will improve the overall performance of the laptop?

    It is worth it or should I just put up a new machine, and then have Win7 instead?

    I use the machine in a small office, mainly for the docs / presentation with large enough images (no games / video games etc.).

  • Would like to upgrade memory on my laptop HP2000

    I have a HP2000 I bought a year ago.  It has 4g of memory that is not being sufficient for a CS PhD project that I'm trying.  Since I was a student, I don't have enough money to buy another computer laptop everything.  So, is it possible to get another 2g of memory installed on this laptop?  Can I do the installation myself (the guarantee has already been canceled by my Linux installation on this machine a year ago) for everything I want to buy is the part, not installation. Is this possible?

    Hello

    HP 2000 is a series of several models, what is yours? In any case, based on the following link, a typical 200-HP can have 8 GB of RAM:

    http://h10010.www1.HP.com/wwpc/ca/en/Ho/WF06b/321957-321957-3329744-3848802-3848802-5091493-5128938.html?DNR=1

    There are a few questions that must be addressed:

    1. What is the OS of your machine? 32 bit OS may not consider what it is more than 4 GB in this case.

    2. What is the current configuration? 2 x 2 or 4 x 1 because the machine has only 2 slots for RAM. From there, you can work our the number you need.

  • HP ENVY laptop - 15-k220nr: upgraded wireless HP ENVY laptop-15 k220nr.

    Hello

    My laptop came with Intel AC card 3160 WiFi, but it is buggy and fall on and outside. I think of him replacing Intel AC 7260, which should be better.

    http://www.Amazon.com/Intel-7260-HMWG-R-Wireless-AC-Bluetooth-mounting/DP/B00MY9S692/ref=sr_1_1?IE=U...

    They are the same size, I don't know if there will be a few problems or not if I do this? In addition, the led are compatible? I get full speed AC1200?

    Thank you

    I can now confirm that the adapter Intel Wireless AC7260 sector works PERFECTLY in a HP Envy 15t, specifically an HP Envy 15-k220nr (4720MQ plant, 8 GB of Ram, Intel i7 installed Intel Wireless 3160 adapter).  It works with Windows Pro 10 x 64 great - I can't speak for Windows 7/8/8.1 that I updated before installing (which I recommend), but I expect that it works on Windows 8/8.1 for sure and probably on Windows 7 without problem.

    I bought the card on Amazon; the model is "Intel network 7260.HMWG. R' - the. R is important because it is a revised version of the chip with improvements on the original.  It is, by the Intel reports, the same card SKU 7260.HMWWB. R - different SKUS simply represent different packages.  Check it out at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MV3N7UO

    At the time I did, the cost of the card was $26.50.  It is a Mini PCIe card, which is the type of the computer used.

    It's a surprisingly simple upgrade.  I have simply shut down my computer, which has been already upgraded to Windows Pro 10.  As with all facilities, follow control measures for static (white room, wrist band), that screws follow-up go where (easier in this case because they are mostly identifcal when disassembly of the machine) and general practices for the maintenance of a system.  I would not recommend this upgrade is done by an amateur - it's a more complex installation, since you need to access the motherboard and remove the housing rather than simply to open a port on the underside of the computer.  That said, for having to open the base unit, it is a process very easy (relatively speaking) with this laptop.  It is useful that the repair is very complete.  Be careful, because if you are not an authorized service provider and your computer is under warranty, you may void your warranty by opening the machine.  In addition, don't forget to keep the old card to allow you to reinstall and restore your computer to care factor if you need to send in warranty repair or want to sell it but keep the new card.

    It took my about 20 minutes to take it apart, install, test and go back.  Before you BEGIN, download the new drivers, you'll need - HP drivers are working, great and I always go with the current manufacturer on the OEM drivers drivers when possible because they are often optimized for the system.  You can also download download.intel.com drivers, but I would recommend get the driver WLAN wireless network current HP download page (http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-ENVY-15-Notebook-PC-series/7527530/model/7685078#...).  This card, looking for the same drivers regarding the AC-3160 card because they use the same drivers.  Download the TWO the WLAN and Bluetooth drivers - to date, the drivers have been updated on 15/10/15 and are:

    • Bluetooth of Intel driver, version 18.1.1525.1470 [email protected]
    • Intel Wireless Driver, version 18.12.0.3 Rev.P

    After downloading the drivers, put them on your desktop or somewhere else easy access that you will need them as soon as you restart the installation and the wireless NOT work initially, following so if you do not have the drivers you have given to get them through a wired connection or another computer.

    I disassembled the machine by the Service Manual (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04510889).  Remove the battery and basic housing, disconnect the cables in water for the fingerprint sensor, the mouse and the keyboard and back on top of the basic coverage and put it against the monitor.  BE CAREFUL - this shifts the center of gravity of the computer and makes the computer to tip backward as I learned when I got mine from flipping back off of the table, I was working on - just be careful.

    After opening to the top of the enclosure, installation is incredibly simple.  The WLAN card is located at the back of the computer to the Middle - back where the hinges of the screen connect computer, centered between them.  You just pop off the two wireless antennas (YES - this laptop, despite the expedition with AC only 1 x 1 wireless card options, IT has two antennas installed at the factory, so it can support fully a card 2 x 2), then remove the screw from the card in place.  The map is displayed; bring him back (help little fingers - I have big hands and it was difficult because card is pressed against the back of the case) and pop out.  Insert the new card, tap it down, screw and reattach the antennas, making sure that the wire connected to the 'hand' on the original card is connected to the 'hand' on the new map, and the wire of "to THE" relates to "to THE.  On my computer, the black wire is the main antenna, the gray wire was the second antenna.

    If you're like me, after installation, you can set reconnect the keyboard/mouse/finger print sensor and reboot the machine before screwing everything together to make sure it works.   Just be careful if you do this.  When you restart, wireless will not work.  Run the installation programs for the drivers that you downloaded at the beginning of the year - I found install the dirver wireless, then bluetooth driver works better.  After installation and reboot, everything should work fine, including bluetooth.  I have had absolutely no problem with everything to work.

    Now the fun part: performance.  The map is hands down more quickly then the motherboard.  2 x 2 MIMO broadcast practically double your performance to download (assuming you have at least to AC1200 router that supports speeds of that card is).  I use an ASUS AC1900 RT-AC68U, a great router is worth every penny.  Speedtest.NET, my laptop on the wireless now easily continues with my internet service 60MBPS, going as fast as my wired connection (with the old card, he maxed out at around download 50MBPS; with the new card, it uses bandwidth full, closer to 70MBPS for us.)  Download speeds were around 4, 5-5 Mbps, to be expected in view of our internet service.

    File transfers are literally about twice as fast as prerequisites for the upgrade.  I supported sustained more than 8 Mbps download speeds when there are about 40 feet from the router with 3 walls and other elements of the way.  File transfer speeds are great, more 40MBPS transferring files to my NAS, compared to close to 20 with the original map (also from 40 feet with 3 walls and other obstacles).

    Overall, the performance is much better that the original card, as expected, the installation is simple and quick, and everything works perfectly.  I highly recommend this upgrade.

  • HP Windows 7 unable to upgrade to Windows 10 laptop

    I trust HP for years since we got the first programmable HP hand-helds to JK Gill in 1976.

    To find out that HP laptop I paid a lot for in 2010 is going to be completely obsolete is too sad for words.  Is there SOLUTION No. at all for my computer?  It's a HP dv7-3060us Entertainment Notebook.  I bought with my money of colonization when I disabled for cancer.  It has been a lifeline so far but now it is going to be obsolete?  Is there nothing to do?  There is no way to upgrade to windows 10?  I happen to love windows 7 but I understand that it is a lost OS also.

    Someone at - it answers?

    Thank you very much

    @SissyBeans:

    It is often better to have a laptop computer running an OS more old where everything works, only faced with a new operating system where things are 'broken.  As long as it works OK for you, it is not "obsolete".

    The problem, that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 laptop driver.  HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

    So that you CAN update to Win10, I would personally recommend against him.  I tried to update two portable Win7 on Win10 and upgrading two of them ransacked.  Construction machinery 5 years ago only were not with Win10 in mind.

    As for Win7 being a 'lost' BONE - if it is true that MS has ended mainstream support for Win7, MS don't end updates to security for your Windows 7 PC until January 14, 2020. So, there's lifes in Win7 for years to come.

    As for not having Win10, I was a beta tester for Windows products and was one of the first initiates Windows test Win10 - and over the years of this, I have never been also disappointed by the total lack of improvements I have with Win10.  Without new hardware and a touch screen, Win10 is a little more than Win8.2 - with a bunch of stuff that was moving and a new half-baked Start Menu, for which there are better alternative third-party.  He misses you very much.

    What battery is correct for this cell with 6600mah more?

    Thank you!

    The program is accurate... it is your chipset, but the problem is the conclusions you want to draw information. HP configures to use specific processors and memory as described in the service manual I posted so information on what chipset is capable of by hypothesis are not really relevant. The RAM slots are clavetés for DDR2 and you might not get a DDR3 module in there if you tried. Only some specific processors will work with BIOS and hardware. So not Quad Cores. Up to Core 2 Duo T9600.
