Upgrade an old HP G62 laptop, is it worth it?

[juang]

I had this computer, and it gives me so much nostalgia seeing it. I would say SSD upgrades are certainly worth it. I also do remember this computer's fan being loud as hell!

Hello ; I upgraded the HDD to a Crucial SSD on an old HP G62 ; improved performance 10X. Cost was only $29 via Amazon.

"see yuh...b*tches"...LMAO! That made my day. Thanks for the video. I figured an SSD and RAM upgrade would be beneficial but I wasn't too sure. So now I'm going to do it.

I have a HP G62 laptop, I run Ubuntu, 4gb of RAM and SSD upgrade, Also replaced the cooling paste on my CPU after it kept overheating. Just needs a new battery and a new keyboard as I've lost a few keys and it will be good for another 10 years of use. I'd quite like to get it to work on Windows 95 but i aren't sure that's even possible.

I have hp g61 for 12 years and it boots way quicker. Perhaps software maintenance has never been done on this one.

I had this laptop before. But I have the product key of this laptop for Windows 7 Home Basic. Key: 7XG99-HYQYP-PV6BM-MGKJX-FXGQR

I have one that also has this 3gb ram. Slow is too kind of a word for this thing.

I have the same laptop but unfortunately it turned out defective. I changed it in the store, but the second one gave the same defect. At times the display flickered and gave a display driver error message. Under warranty, the motherboard was replaced several times, but the defect remained. Strange why the service techs only test it on games but not normal behavior. Finally, already out of warranty, I took it to another service for cleaning, and afterwards it got a thin vertical pink line on the display. Still, this is the laptop with the best image out of all the 10+ I've used, and it's not slow either - 4GB RAM 64bit Win 7. It still works but crashes.

Have 2 of the HP G62 laptops, one an AMD, & the other an Intel. Also have an HP Compaq CQ56, similar to the G62. Both, or, all 3, can be upgraded. All 3 still have Win 7. Thank you 🤓 I think 3GB RAM was an original install.

You should've bought a 500GB SSD drive

[sangeetakumari]

My G62 is a G62-224CA, it has an Athlon II P-320 processor... I upgraded RAM to 6 Gb, and i'm about to put an older Corsair 240 GB SSD... i'm not expecting much as this YouTube video pushes the CPU to 100% already xD
