Windows 11 on Pentium 4

[@gypijsi]

Probably, the Microsoft requirements are set to avoid the huge shitstorm that happened with "Windows Vista Capable" PCs, with people complaining about performance and make Windows Vista and Microsoft look bad. Microsoft now splits users in two categories: 1. The ones who have a supported PC; 2. The ones who know what they are doing.

I've been using Windows 11 with my i7 4770k, 16GB RAM and GTX 1060 build since Windows 11 came out and surprisingly my experience is much better than when I was on Windows 10. My DPC latency is much better and games are more smooth. I used Rufus to bypass the TPM and secure boot requirements.

In the Wikipedia article about Pentium 4, the "all support" line means, that _all_ CPUs in one table support certain instruction sets as a baseline, but does not mean, as if neither of them didn't support the NX bit. As I checked out the article today, Intel Pentium 4 model 506, launched in June 2005, is listed as one of the earliest with Intel 64 technology and the Execute Disable Bit. The Prescott 90nm table contains three other models with those features.

You didn't miss anything. Pentium 4's were horrible monstrosities that shouldn't have existed. The Netburst architecture was so bad that the Pentium 4 didn't overtake the Pentium III-S 1400 until it reached 1700 MHz. My dual PIII-S 1400 can keep up with a Pentium 4 HT 2800 in everything but memory bandwidth. I avoided the entire Pentium 4 era and went with AMD instead. Didn't go back to Intel until the Core 2 came out in 2006/2007.

The limits are the secure boot and the other special requirements But they can be bypassed in the registry What I never understood was why Microsoft doesn't just put in an option to bypass these requirements in the setup instead of requiring people to go into the registry and make changes and then do the setup again I remember with a 286 laptop that only had 2 megabytes of memory that I upgraded from 1 MB, and Microsoft told me there was no possible way I could get Windows 95 to run on a 286 and that the minimum requirements were a 386 25 MHz and 4 MB of RAM It took a lot of work to install the newer 6.22 DOS with the special program that allowed you to use a null modem cable and hook it up between two computers and run one program from the disc on one machine and one on the other and transfer files using the cable I had to replace the 10 MB hard drive with a 60 MB hard drive and use a boot loader over way in the bios to get it to recognize the 60 MB hard drive but I did get it to recognize it And it took about 5 hours to transfer the files from all six Windows 95 three-and-a-half in disks to the laptop and then I ran the setup program with the switches that would tell it to bypass the processor check and the memory check and the hard drive storage check and it took about six hours to install but it did install and even on a monochrome 286 laptop it ran pretty good It did not crash and the lag time and Hang-Ups were not that bad it was definitely usable And the thing that really had my head spinning was the fact that if they had written Windows 95 in 1985 there is no reason why we could not have had Windows 95 in 1985 on an 80286 computer. I think the first color monitors came out around 1981 and I think they had 16 colors EGA was 16 colors and was around in 85 It used a 9 pin connector The limits were there, but I believe in 1987 VGA monitors came out. So, we definitely could have had 256 color display in 87 I believe the 1mb trident video card was out in 1990 or 91 Windows 3.1 was out in 92 It was a big improvement over the previous windows version, but I remember seeing Windows 95 installed for the first time and I was floored by the difference between it and 3.1 It was the turning point for computers People had been using computers to get on AOL from 90 but 95 with Internet Explorer CD included just changed everything.

Once into Pentium, P60, P90, was it then P75 and P100?, the cartridge like Pentium III? after that it was just we got into cores and Hyper Threading, and just numbers going up...

I got my Proxmox server with i5 processor and 2 installations for Windows 10 and Windows 11 side by side, sometimes even running together and the GUI of Windows 11 runs much faster than that of Windows 10. The only difference is RAM usages. Windows 10 rarely uses 3Gb or RAM. Most of the time the memory charts in Proxmox show it uses 2Gb, so I gave the VM 4Gb of RAM for Windows 10. Windows 11 uses 1gb more RAM. It stay around 3GB most of the time sometimes going to 4Gb, so I had to give the VM 5Gb. Windows 11 in VM runs so smoothly, it is hard to believe. I noticed that with 22H2 update Microsoft lowered the hardware requirements for running Windows 10 and Windows 11. Also Windows folder is much smaller than that of Windows 7. Windows 10/11 with 22H2 freshly installed is around 14Gb, while Windows 7 was 17 Gb. So, they did slim down the OS. Now if you have 10 year old PC, you can run Windows 11 better than Windows 7 on them.

Claiming to support such a trash hardware will limit you in implementing new features while having to spend more money to make all the updates compatible with that hardware that is not currently used with any new software (btw, they've introduced the registry keys for bypassing all that hardware checks just for you nerds, to prove yourself that those restrictions are not really needed at the moment. But remember that you aknowledge the risks of a sudden incompatibilities introduced with another windows update) It's like having to support IE6 in a modern web application. Anyway, that's why they can't simply stay on win10 and announce another OS name, since you can't just randomly drop a huge part of hardware support in an ordinary system update. Also, they also support win10 as a parallel branch, implementing all the security updates to care about people with unsupported hardware (and companies with LTS builds and some oldfags)

@@etmezh9073 Well, their registry 'bypass' keys acually work as a disclaimer.

[@MultiYippee]

My old Dell computer had a Pentium 4 3.20 GHz HT that supported 64-bit OSes. You couldn't use anything newer than Windows 8 in 64-bit, though, as it required extra instruction sets for security that weren't on the CPU.

Great effort installing Win5dows 11 on mechanical drives with Pentium 4. This prove Windows 11 still works on older specs. I think Core2Duo or Core2Quad with SATA SSD dan 4GB RAM will rundecent enough with Windows 11 (Tiny11). I use Tiny11 for several low specs like Celeron 3060, Core i3-17 from 3rd-4th Gen and 128-256Gb SSD, and running well for office, email dan browsing.

[@NAKADZI]

It is very surprising that you did not use *"Ventoy",* which is several times better than *"Rufus"* - not only is it extremely easy to install and use, but it also automatically bypasses the artificial limitations of _Windows 11_ by default. If you are planning similar experiments in your future videos, in this case I want to strongly recommend the excellent custom drivers "Amernime Zone" for AMD video card models, which are built on the architecture of *Terascale 2+* (the model that is present in this video), *GCN 1+* and *Polaris.* _This will be very useful in modern versions of Windows, it will allow you to run games that would not run on the original drivers._

[@Knaeckebrotsaege]

the two tools serve entirely different purposes, but thanks for lumping the two together and calling one of them crap i guess? gotta love "experts" like you...

[@NAKADZI]

@@Knaeckebrotsaege You are wrong in your judgement, I did not claim that "Rufus" is crap. It has become less relevant for the installation of mainstream Operating Systems, as it requires additional configuration of OS image recording options. And "Ventoy" gets rid of the need to overwrite the flash drive every time and to think about technical details (for example, such as *MBR* and *GPT)* and gives confidence that copied images of mainstream OS will be able to run as on old PCs without UEFI , as well as on modern PCs in full UEFI mode.

[@andreivaughn1468]

@@NAKADZI From the sounds of it Rufus makes a straight image without trying to be too "smart", instantly making it a better choice for me. I can bypass install hurdles myself, and worry about whether I am using MBR or GPT - people been doing that for a reeaallly long time with no problem, suddenly we all need hand-holding? Maybe you do.

[@DanielTheUncoolio]

I had an idea. How many Operating Systems can you install on a single computer? Could you get 98 Operating Systems all running Windows 98 on A SINGLE COMPUTER? idk seems like a fun concept

[@XeonProductions]

Sorry, third time editing this comment. The oddest thing I noticed about this board is the 4 LAN ports. I've never seen a board with that many, even server motherboards. I think NOT having integrated sound or integrated video was more common during this era, especially on enthusiast grade motherboards.

[@sppoitier1]

Thank you for doing this experiment. It gives a lot of us hope to be able to use Windows 11 on our aging PC systems.

[@mickwolf1077]

I have a p4 3.4ghz prescHot I think its the extreme one, I bought it for gaming. There was noticeable input lag which was due to the longer execution pipeline so I got a 3.2 north wood (I think) and was much better in games and a lot cooler.

[@harpskid]

Would be interesting to see a build of this quality running on linux! The linux kernel still supports 32bit cpus too!

[@SuneSalminen]

Any kind of Linux would just boot up and run normally. With a little bit of work and a compatible video card, the P5Q Premium can run OS X High Sierra. That would make for a much more interesting video.

You should have tried Intel mobile CPUs, I got Win11 running on a Celeron B815 which is an absolute potato and might be even slower than the CPU you used. Weird as to why you didn't get the P4 630 working, I might try that with my own P4 630 and say if it works (I hope I don't forget to do it).

I am not surprised. Why should anyone be surprised that its working? Most of these cpus are 3ghz.

[@attilavs2]

Because of IPC improvements, and everything else around like RAM and storage. Basically a modern 3ghz CPU is a lot faster even per core, and it will have at least 2 cores, and for the vast majority more.

[@mrkemblegilstrap]

hi! Great video, Bro. I thought that i would watch this while I ate supper. But I was watching your video so hard that my food got cold, lol. Ordinarily I don`t watch these antique hardware type videos, but your title got my attention as I was thinking of doing a Win 11 force install on my hp laptop. Life does have coincidences, I guess. Win 11 complains that the CPU is not supported. It is an AMD Ryzen 3 2200U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx. Processor speed 2500 MHz. 8GB RAM (2X4). 2400 MHz speed, 128 GB SSD. I would have been more impressed with your video if you had used a slower CPU. I`m blown away that you found a CPU with specs that good. The base speed of the CPU in my intel i9-10900k is 3.7 GHZ. I run it OC to 5.0 -5.10 GHz. Of course, all of these specs blow away my laptop. I think that you are the only person on this planet that has an old geezer Pentium 4 with a CPU that fast. I did like the way you went into the bios to delete those checks, that was great. What sped was this RAM? It didn't say on the sticks, and I can`t remember the trick of how to decipher the speed using the numbers on the stick. How did you get so lucky to have an actual power button on the mother board? I have never seen that before. You must have put that on there? Another question, please, would my keyboard or my mouse be faster if I plugged them into the HDMI ports on my graphics card, instead of on the front panel (mother board)? It`s for my EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC. Come and play Medal of Honor with me? Free game download at moh.tk I play multiplayer every day. Liked and subscribed.
