[SOLVED] Move laptop components to a desktop case

[gurpinar]

Hi. I have a laptop whose model is Toshiba Satellite L855-14M. Very old laptop per se, it is total potato in today's standards. But; my financial situation doesn't give me an opportunity to build a new PC so I want a help about something unpopular because; I have work to do and I have to rely on my laptop.

This laptop overheats so much. And, I wanna cry when my laptop suddenly shutdowns. I am not a fan of laptops. Laptops have more cons than pros imo such as; overheating, non-ergonomical usage, unused/unnecessary parts such as optical drive, internal webcam and touchpad. I want to dodge this unpleasantnesses. I want to ask you if you can suggest me a set/tool/case to move my inner compounds to a desktop/desktop-esque case. And, if a super duper cooler is available for this reason.

Actualy, I can consider a new desktop motherboard which can accept my laptop's internal components. But; my OEM license will be wasted in this scenario. Do you know if I can use Windows 10 without activation or I can clone an OEM license from a motherboard to another motherboard?

If I stick on laptop's motherboard, I know I can add external gpu through PCI slot (you know internal wireless slot I guess) but; is it viable for a designing graphic cards like Nvidia QUADRO? Is performance issues the case? Because; PCIe x16 much more faster than PCI slot so I think bottleneck may be the case.

Also, can you suggest me a software which can detect all possible hardware defects?

I am a non-native english speaker which don't know much about electronics so; feel free to correct me about my grammar or my information. Thanks guys.

Maybe?
If I had a couple of cases to rip apart, so as to be able to jury-rig together a bracket that would hold a laptop motherboard in place, and then I mounted that within a normal desktop case... I could run the power cable into the case through one of the holes in the back.... shove a monitor cable into another hole....
It would look like hell, but yeah. It could be done. It would be far easier to just use an external USB keyboard and mouse, connect a monitor to the external VGA port on the laptop, and leave it closed. It isn't like you'd line up the ports on the laptop somehow, to fit in the holes in the back of a case. The motherboard screws wouldn't line up either. You'd still be using the same power cable for the laptop regardless... so although possible, it is kind of pointless.

That doesn't solve my overheating problem tho.

if your laptop gets heated that much i think its time to move on to a new laptop. i cannot think of any other suggestion.

I am not sure if you have read my whole post. If my financial situation was better I would buy a new laptop or PC for sure. I am trying to ressurect a junk here.

Btw; this and that dudes can work I guess. But; I still need a suggestion for a very cheap but good pc case, PSU and cooler. Also, I want to learn if it is possible to transfer my OEM license to my new motherboard. Or else can I use Windows 10 without activation for good? If I can, what are the limits?

if you want a cheap but good pc case the msi mag force 100m is good. i dont know why you need a psu but if you do need a cheap one the antec 550w 80+ is a good option. and yes you can use windows 10 without activation without any problem . plus An OEM licence is bound to the device it was originally installed on, as it was provided by the manufacturer. It cannot be transferred to a new device, as it seems you have been told

In regards to PC cases, you get what you pay for. Sure, you might find a cheap case with satisfactory air flow, but the higher end cases will always produce a better result due to their cooling capacity.

Buying a case, you may also need fans. Have you factored that into your pricing?

Yup. I have.

Get a box fan, put your laptop on it. Turn the fan on. Boom, cool running cheap lappy with little chance of breaking it.
