Bookmem Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) I just finished refurbishing an HP Probook 440 G1 laptop for a total of $115.60, including the cost of the laptop. Specs: Intel I3 4000M 2.4ghz CPU, 8gb Ram 128g SSD, 1tb HDD, new battery and AC adapter. Replaced the optical drive with caddy for 1tb HDD. Installed Window 11 and it activated with HP license. The Probook was listed as class C but that was because it lacked HDD, Battery and AC and only had 4gb RAM. I added another 4gb. There was very little signs of wear. I'm going to add Karaoke and DJ collection and sell it for about $350. Edited August 5, 2023 by Bookmem 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abarbarian Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 That is really neat and quite a tidy profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Hello, Given that the machine has a processor that isn't supported by Windows 11, wouldn't it be better to install Windows 10? Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Windows 11 works fine. Why would I want an oldeer OS? MS's desire to limit 11 to advanced CPUs to make their job easier, is not my priority.

goretsky Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Hello, While it works now, it is possible it might stop working all of a sudden in the future. On the other hand, Windows 10 does support the hardware and it will be supported until at least October 2025.

I'm not going to switch, so end of discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the only way I've found to deal with someone who always pushes the MS agenda. I didn't ask for advice on which version was best for my project. I'm crotchy 84 yr old and don't have time to waste on debates going nowhere. Edited August 14, 2023 by Bookmem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
