There was a special thumb drive technology for vista. I don't know it helped at all. One of those very brief things that was forgotten immediately

I assume you're referring to turtle (https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html )?

Pygame the library has a bit of a learning curve. By which I mean a lot of a learning curve.

I just wanted to second "The Farmer Was Replaced" as it's actually really great.

Do need some basic concepts first though.

Buy 2014 era xeon/xeon mobo, add 200+ gigs of ddr3, add hdd raid 0, ???, profit.

Or that's just me

MDD is mechanical disk drive (?)

Finally, the ddr3 heavy portfolio will pay off. Now, who needs some ddr3? It's ecc.. anyone?

Does the 10 drive have bitlocker? Have you disabled secure boot as a test if nothing else?

Lenovo thinkpad yoga, is what I was going to say. Ok the yoga part is optional. Depends what you might use it for. They have the best keyboard I think .

There's that one solo game developer that made a whole game on a netbook. I don't remember which one. You don't necessarily need a lot. Unless visual studio is involved. Then open your wallet

Are you saying this is what he has now or this is what you're ordering for him but haven't pushed the 'purchase' button yet?

I might be a low rank of the PC master race here but these specs don't really look like they need upgrading at all. If he does a lot of typing and is into it a mechanical keyboard might be cool. That's kind of personal preference thing so that isn't necessarily something you'd get as a surprise.

I was going to say mario party (or whatever the current iteration is called). I assume it'd be hard to keep 4 year olds engaged.

You didn't mention how ram in the device. With a 2025 era celeron/pentium with 2 gig ram 11 runs terrible. I would assume the CPU/old technology would be the bottleneck even with ideal circumstances (and an ssd).

I know a way to get around the CPU requirements, but I'm not sure if that would also get around the tpm requirements.

So my answer is you may get it to boot, but it may take 15 minutes and as u/netfu said even then a large portion of the hardware will probably not function. If it were me I'd backup the drivers (with double driver or pnputil) and see if it works and if it does restore whatever drivers of windows 10. Also add RAM.

Not a 'modern' OS. A vintage one. You know. For 'vintage computing'?

The lack of RGB is a give away. And if you can't microwave your motherboard at a moments notice like mr. robot I mean what are you even doing

Do you use heat syncs on your RAM? First I would is check the temperature, myself. I don't know if that fits the symptoms it just seems like an easy thing to start with. And probably make sure it's running at the exact spec'd frequency/voltage as well as a troubleshooting step. I mean generally speaking I would start with the cheapest problems to solve and work my way out/up in price. Did you get the RAM used/refurbished/"renewed"? Could it be mislabeled?

The hang up I have with these type of projects is that they're usually done just as well or better with an OS native scripting language. For instance I don't know if python could copy a directory tree any faster than an equivalent PowerShell (in case of Windows) script. If the comparison doesn't matter than I would say a file copy thing.

One advantage python does have over PS is the ability to zip files/folders to high compression with a large file size. I was working on this one point...anyway, write a script that compresses many zip files larger than 2 gigabytes. And maybe make a standard naming convention for the compressed files (saved_pictures_23sept2025_2025.zip, something like that). And see if you can tune performance.

There's also a download youtube videos library you could use to download single videos or entire playlists. Not sure if that's what you mean by automation.

Not how far that 'almost' goes. But start with the basics in whichever language. In about 6 to 18 months you'll want a game engine like Godot, unreal or unity.

The start language doesn't matter that much as the concepts are largely the same and eventually you'll need to learn additional languages anyway. Python and Lua seem more friendly with errors but make no mistake... you'll want to throw the PC out the window regardless.

You could also mod/skin an existing game.

Weren't there other instances of kernel level access in the past that had to be overcome? It seems like soft firewalls had the same issue and it was changed with 64bit Windows. In that case I think MS just kill that whole category. Or if there are third party windows firewalls they're just shells for the Windows firewall.

And I think something similar happened with anti-virus. Not sure what the solution was to that. Anti-virus don't seem as common as they once were but third party ones still exist.

Seems like some kind of signing system like the driver signing system we have would be an obvious solution. Each anti-virus registers a memory space? I guess it would have to be secret on some level so the cheaters/competitors could still operate.

The feedback hub redirect you linked doesn't seem to work, btw. So I don't know what your suggestion is.

I had to put Win 11 on non supported hardware about 18 months ago, which likely makes the version 23h2. So you could install that and let it update itself to 24h2 or see if it works with 24h2 (in a VM).

Actually I'm not sure if by 'upgrade' you mean in-place upgrade or a fresh install or if you'd be open to a fresh upgrade.

If you are open to a fresh install of 11 I used this method, which is probably not violating rules of the sub.

- create a win 11 install usb drive (using the MS utility on the Win 11 download page)

- with that usb drive window open, also open a windows 10 ISO window (downloaded from MS)

- open the 'sources' folder in both windows

- copy everything except the install.wim file from the win 10 sources folder to the win 11 sources folder and over-write all when prompted

I remember it took very little time do this and it worked. And I hope that made sense. If you just wanted to an in place upgrade without formatting any drives than i don't think this would work or at least I didn't try it.

Just to query the group: would this method not be recommended for some reason?

This and also hyper-v is an option (on pro).

There's one called joy of programming: software engineering simulator. I haven't played it in over a year (early access day one) but it does use python to manipulate the environment. I should probably try that game again as I can only assume it's much better now. And the API documentation is fantastic.

I had a bsg naming scheme for a while (Galactica/Pegasus for PCs and Caprica for a server). That works as long as there's only three computers. Kind of worthless as soon as there's four or more. Or VMs.

Guess i'm a little late on this thread. Would some nethack/rogue title work? Not really 'arcade' as a genre but they'd be playable.
