IrishMASMS<p>Part 2/3<br>Though this has a 64-bit processor, let me try the Win10 x86 32-bit LTSP installer from 2019: and it worked! The install went fine, but it ran dog slow. I used the native browser to download and then upgraded the <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/BIOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BIOS</span></a> to the latest for the W510 and everything was noticeably slow. Unfortunately, most of the tools I want to use are 64-bit so this version of Win10 is not really an option. <br>To test & try to troubleshoot, I installed the latest version of <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a>. The install went fine, and the user experience was much better than the 32-bit Win10 – no real noticeable slowness. Ok, Linux is an option – but not what I had planned for this laptop. Let me wipe the drive (getting rid of <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/GRUB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GRUB</span></a>) and retry installing Win11 or Win10 LTSP. <br>Now when I boot with either Win11 or Win10 LTSP <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/USBs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USBs</span></a> the windows logo flashes and the dreaded black screen with blinking cursor appears. We don’t even get the option to install…. (Ugh!) <br>Currently I booted into <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ShredOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShredOS</span></a> and am wiping the drive as a load test. </p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/siliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>siliconValley</span></a> <a

IrishMASMS<p>The next <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/thinkpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thinkpad</span></a> on my <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/workbench" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workbench</span></a> is an <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/E450" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>E450</span></a> – I grabbed this from <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ewaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ewaste</span></a> to provide a family member a better laptop. It has a <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/i5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>i5</span></a>-5200U at 2.2Ghz, and a max 16GB of <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/DDR3L" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DDR3L</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RAM</span></a> so it can/should run <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Win11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Win11</span></a>, <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a>, or <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSD</span></a> with ease. The IO is ok, with multiple <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/USB3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USB3</span></a> ports, <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/HDMI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HDMI</span></a>, <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ethernet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ethernet</span></a> and a memory card reader. This is a decent form factor, weight, and would make a decent laptop for someone. Though no docking station capabilities, they removed the port underneath. </p><p>There is a big BUT with this laptop though: it keeps freezing, and the video is glitching. Which may be why it went to ewaste…</p><p>I upgraded the DDR3L RAM to 16GB, and wiped the 500GB SSD that came with it. <br>Starting installing <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Win11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Win11</span></a>, and I let it install and reboot so I could refill my tea – to come back and the laptop was frozen with a black screen. <br>I rebooted, and it froze on the initial Win11 change password screen. <br>I rebooted again, went into the <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Lenovo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lenovo</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/BIOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BIOS</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/diagnostic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diagnostic</span></a> tool, and started the full tests. As the test were running, I touched the nub and the video started glitching. Letting the test continue, the laptop froze while testing. </p><p>So, is this beyond time & effort to get working – or pull the spare parts and move on from? </p><p>(images attached)<br> </p><p><a
