    Who has the oldest Machine that runs Windows 10?


    Toshiba Satellite L40 (Windows Vista - bought it mid 2007, I think.)

    Increased RAM to 2GB and replaced HDD with SSD, over the years.

    Still working fine for administrational work and even programming in .NET. I don't play games, but I guess it wouldn't be fast enough for it. *Wink

    No clue about, restart time, but I'll check it... Probably around 3 minutes I'm guessing. (Hoping *Wink)

    UPDATE: Restart-Time -> Your computer takes 117 seconds to completely restart.

    Even faster than I thought. *Smile This includes typing in my password at startup.

    HP d4996t new June 2008. Still original hardware. Originally Vista, then 7, then 8, then 8.1 and yesterday installed 10 in 93 minutes without a hitch or hiccup. I do remember the challenges ten or 20 years ago when doing updates or upgrades or whatever that could take hours and multiple retries due to dial-up phone line problems or MS problems or whatever. Had to start over most times from scratch after an interruption. I could have slept through the 10 upgrade yesterday. Progress indeed, and appreciated. And it still is a lot of fun for me!

    My PC with 2GB is the same specification with SSD, it runs as fast as the wind blows. Hopefully will run another few years. Never Imagine could be that fast, mine bought in 2008.

    I have a DIY desktop from just after when Windows XP x64 released (April 2005). I think I got it in the summer of that year. I had to replace my video card for Windows 10, but that's all.

    I also have an HP laptop that came with Vista that I bought new in late 2007.

    My System was originally made around 2003 as a Barebones MSI "MBox" system, I replaced the MB with an Asus M2N-SE around 2006, running XP and then 7 for years, with a progression of NVidia graphics cards. It runs Windows 10 rather well except for KB3081444 which hosed me and caused me to so a system restore.

    Wouldn't it be nice if, after we were dead for that amount of time, we were brought back to life to continue where we left off????
