Old i5 2380P Sandy Beidge, 16gb ram. SSD 240gb I think. The other drives were removed. LG super multi DVD rw burner drive I think also.
MS 1155 motherboard. Takes windows 10. But windows 10 support is ending October 14 2025.
And 2nd gen i5 won't take windows 11. Need 8th gen CPU. And the board won't take a new CPU.
My mom uses an iMac now. No need for this old PC anymore. If I eBay what can I start at? Like 50 bucks? Weighs 17.5 pounds.
Iām runningĀ Windows 11 22H2Ā withĀ ExplorerPatcherĀ installed to tweak things a bit. Iāve turned off transparency effects because, honestly, I think Windows doesnāt handle them as well as for example macOS - they can feel inconsistent and sometimes just donāt look right to me. Plus, I prefer the cleaner, more solid look without them.
Another reason I disable transparency is that Iām on aĀ low-end system. Turning it off helps keep things running smoother.
As for organization, Iāve always pinned my most-used programs and games to the Start Menu. It keeps everything in one place and feels tidy to me. I like how simple and straightforward it is.
What do you think about this setup? Would you do anything differently? Iām curious to hear your thoughts!
This is probably the wrong place to ask, but my dad wants to use this old HP slimline 260-a101nd for his email and such. But he has lost the power cord. I googled the model but the power inlet does not seem to match this one, but I could be wrong. Can anyone help me? What kind of power cord am I looking for?
