matthew - retroedge.techJust did some upgrades, service and thermal cleaning on a ThinkPad T470s laptop.
This laptop has two internal batteries. The back one was a bit puffy "spicy pillow". I had another used battery on hand that wasn't puffy, so replace it.
Replaced the thermal paste on the CPU.
Upgraded from 8GB to 12GB (one memory slot, 4GB on the motherboard, so took out a 4GB module and replaced with 8GB module).
Upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 with an installer made by Rufus, which bypasses the hardware requirements check.
Scanned for malware with Malwarebytes. It found a bunch of "mindspark" junk references and removed them.
