Yes it's true you can convert your i3 laptop into i5 by spending few bucks only, so why to waste 1lacks+ for a laptop? See the thing is if you have to do coding, photo editing and video editing isn't it good?
So see every laptop comes with a cd drive which is of no use now a days. No one uses CD in 2026. Its the SSD era, every one wants thing to be done in fast mode. Why did cd drive flops?
CD drives lost it's market because they were replaced by smaller, faster, and more durable flash storage (USB drives) and high-speed internet. Mechanical limitations—such as noise, battery drain, and moving parts prone to wear-and-tear—also pushed manufacturers to drop them for thinner, lightweight device designs.
Are you fed up with your old i3 laptops? Don't worry i got your back. There is no need to sell your old i3 and i5 laptops. What will actually the shop owners do with your old laptops? Have you ever thought?
I was also going through the same problem and somehow I did lots of research and told shop owner to do exactly the same thing and he somehow told me yes and he charged me 3,200 inr for that and now my old i5 laptop is running windows 11 and speed is optimized now.
what he did is that he removed cd player and installed a caddy.
What is caddy?
- A laptop caddy (or hard drive caddy) is an adapter that lets you add a second hard drive or SSD to your laptop. It functions as a mounting frame and connector that replaces the laptop’s built-in CD/DVD drive (optical drive)
- So he took my old 1tb Hard disk and installed inside caddy and then he installed that caddy in cd drive and at the place of hard disk he installed 1 TB SSD. Now, the good part is that operating system is installed on SSD and due to which the optimization power of the laptop has increased.
