It's really hard finding torrent for win OS and program files.

Even if you do find one, the link might not work at some point.

And even if some links do work, you may end up with a virus laden folder...after wasting precious time and over 4GB of data. undecided

So, your best bet is to buy a version already burnt to disc or copied to a flash drive. Costs a token.

If you're in Lagos, computer village is way to go.

Hello all

I just bought a used Lenovo Thinkpad x140e.
It's a 2gb/250gb laptop with Windows 10 installed. It has an Amd processor with 1.4ghz

Its so damn slow and lags a lot when I connect it to the internet. The battery is very durable though. That's the only upside.
I'm thinking of downgrading to windows 7. But I love windows 10

If downgrading will solve the problem I'm ready though.
I need your help

From your complaint it seems the system's issue is down to windows 10 compatibility.

You can always install windows 7 ultimate which is more stable and fast on most of these old Pcs. FIRSTLY i downloaded win7 from a site then i formatted and installed win 7 on the laptop using a BOOTABLE USB

you dont need to be a tech guru to perform this, i did it myself with videos from youtube

- Link to download windows 7 iso
https://getintopc.com/softwares/operating-systems/windows-7-ultimate-download-iso-32-bit-64-bit-official-free-5205134/


link to download power iso that you will use to boot your usb http://www.poweriso.com/download.php


after booting your usb pr flash drive and loading the windows 7 on it watch this video to help format, and install a fresh new Os


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8vP8LuGPfA


All these comes with a great expenditure of data, the windows 7 itself is about 3.09 Gb

So if you don't have the luxury of time and data you can always go to computer village or get the installation Cd at the same place.


Goodluck

dont think your VGA card has issue. remove one RAM start the system with just one RAM then do the same for the other RAM.


After connecting a Dv machine via the Dv port, the system now doesn't start

It starts and stop for some seconds repeatedly.,, the CPU fan will work for some seconds and stop..I have removed the Ram, and on the cpu same thing...I have removed the hard disc,cd rom...tried ram stick by stick same issue

This is definitely a motherboard issue.. Fault can come from any section of the motherboard, the DC to DC section, core section, RAM or corrupt bios.

I'll advise you take it to technician for diagnosis.

if your power pack is fine, then your mother board needs to be checked.
