minus-squarepuppy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoYou could probably run Windows 7 without any issues at all.
minus-squareHonytawk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 years agoYes it can! Tiny11 is a stripped down custom build of Windows 11, which only requires 8 GB of storage and 2 GB of RAM. Someone even got it to run on 200MB of RAM.
