Put the original HDD on my probook 6450b for a BIOS upgrade. It has windows 7 on it but i've never used it. The AV hasn't been updated since 1143 days and anyway is unlicensed 😂
It's fast on Linux, but the struggle is real with Windows, the fan goes berserk and stuff.
I'll remove the Debian GNU/Linux partitions and re-expand windows to use the 250GB, then upgrade everything, since now i've a SSD for Linux on this old lappy.
Well Debian has been successfully deleted, the NTFS partition takes the whole disk and the MBR has been restored. I had to deal with a long CHKDSK indeed.

I've 184 updates to download and install. I wonder how many times i'll need to reboot.
The update isn't finished yet.
If you think Firefox or Chrome are RAM eaters, think again. Look at Windows Update eating several GB of RAM, damn, at this rate it could DOS itself 😔
Well it's done with the live update, 4 hours for 3 years of update is not that much - but it's slower than a common GNU/Linux update for the same time of inactivity.
Now it's time to reboot - another legacy thing that Microsoft should get rid of ✊
Ah, Windows told me that all updates have been applied but it hasn't. False promises :|
This time it's really over.
Note to self: plug this hard drive more often so updates are less painful ^__^
