If we look at the minimum requirements for Windows 11, we realize that those who want to change operating systems must ensure that their computers have at least 4GB of RAM. Not to mention other applications. However, the truth is, it turned out that it is possible to run Windows 11 on a system with almost 21 times less memory than the minimum. All of this is thanks to a very special app that even lets you run the new version of Microsoft’s operating system on unsupported machines. But after all, how is it possible to let Windows 11 only need 196MB of RAM?
With this app, Windows 11 only needs 196MB of RAM!
Putting Windows 11 on a machine with 196MB of RAM was possible through tiny11 that we already talked about in Leak. It is undoubtedly a great application. Is that in practice it removes unnecessary components to unlock the operating system, reduce the size to less than 8GB, and reduce the memory requirement to just 2GB. In any case, it actually takes much less than that for this system to work.
In any case, very few will want to use a PC with Windows 11 and 196MB of boot space. The boot of the operating system takes about 30 minutes. In addition, we have to wait another 15 minutes to be able to open the Task Manager as shown by the user Xeno no Twitter.
In any case, and despite the delays, the operating system remaining in a relatively functional state is undoubtedly impressive.
But what is this about Tiny11 anyway?
Tiny11 is the original version of Windows 11 22H2 without many of the things you don’t really need. This version only requires 8GB on a drive, works on systems with 2GB of RAM, and doesn’t need those TMP modules and such. An interesting aspect is that you can even upgrade Windows 10 to Tiny11 without any problems.
That said, Tiny11 only provides the necessary components such as accessibility tools, Windows Terminal, Microsoft Store, Calculator, Notepad and Paint. So there is no Microsoft Edge, which is a good thing. Not because this browser is bad. Even on the contrary. The point is that you can install the browser you want without the operating system begging you to keep Edge. Also, Tiny11 works with offline accounts by default. However, you can of course also use a Microsoft account.
Overall, the operating system has everything a user needs for daily computer use on any hardware. As an advantage, it consumes less resources and does not require the latest hardware. Of course, installing a modified Windows 11 ISO always has potential risks, so proceed with caution. Another thing to keep in mind is that you still need a valid key to activate Tiny11. It is available for download on this website.
However, if you don’t want Windows 11 but want Windows 10 along the same lines, there’s no problem either. You can opt for Tiny10 and have access to all the things we mentioned above just based on Windows 10. It’s available at this link.
