In this video I will be upgrading this HP Compaq Elite 8000 small form factor desktop computer.
The parts that I upgraded are:
The CPU from Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 to Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400,
I replaced the 250GB Seagate mechanical disk drive with a 120GB solid state drive,
I replaced the one stick DDR3 2GB RAM with 4 sticks of 2GB each of RAM in total 8GB of the same frequency quad channel RAM,
I added an Nvidia Quadro K620 2GB DDR3 graphics card since it worked on an Intel integrated graphics card,
I replaced the CMOS battery 2032 which was gave the PC and error every time it boots into the Windows OS,
And finally installed a fresh copy of the Microsoft Windows 10 Pro operating system and I installed the necessary drivers from snappy driver installer origin and the necessary applications from Ninite.com like browsing the internet and office stuff.
This will be a great multimedia computer or an office PC since it's not going to do well for a gaming PC some old games can work great even though it is a very old.
Thanks for watching and hopefully this video helped you in some way also have a great day.
