This Laptop could not be booted by a USB stick due to Microsoft’s hold on its BIOS. It also has a BIOS Virus, I call it figure of 8 virus.
Figure 8 repeating itself in an endless chain. The Chinese guys in Singapore rather Indian Mustafa guys cheated me.
"Rarely seen without a bustling crowd of customers, Mustafa Centre is set in the Little India district. A cult favourite in the Singaporean shopping scene, it’s the best place to go if you’re after a bargain or enjoy shopping late into the twilight hours. Mustafa may not be as fancy as some of Singapore’s other malls, but it has a great range of items, and good prices to match. Here, you’ll get a bargain on just about everything, from clothes, perfume, souvenirs, electronics, makeup, confectionery and even food and groceries. "
It had Windows without any software.
On my frequent sojourns abroad, I accidentally found it in Mustafa Centre in Singapore.
I purchased it for a cheap price, without knowing it had an issue on its Boot Menu.
Additionally it had the figure of 8 virus which inserts itself at text level and at many entry points.
I now know how to negotiate this inconvenience and this laptop probably was the very reason, I migrated to Linux for good.
I
did not have the proper sense to test it before purchasing and beware
if, one purchases a "marked down" gadget even in Singapore.
After a while, Windows Installation was erased with TRUE OS which is defunct now using the the TRUE OS Boot CD to connect to the Internet thereby, bypassing the use of USB Slot as a boot device which Microsoft owns by secret alliance with the O.E.M guys.
One has to be smart to bypass the Microsoft Hegemony.
I paid for the hardware and Microsoft cannot own it after the point of purchase!
This laptop is working fine with Endless OS installed.
I updated it few days ago.
It has all my archived Linux images.
It is very slow. I have no intention of looking for a DDR4 RAM.
It has two slots. If the DDR4 fails, which is unlikely with Linux installed, I am going to dish it out and by a Mini computer for less than 300 dollars.
