    Can you even run Windows with just 2gb?

        You could probably run Windows 7 without any issues at all.

      Yes 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.

      It depends on the version. I ran windows 98 on 64MB, then I upgraded and ran windows XP on 1GB for quite a while before switching to Linux.

      Sure (with a bit of effort). Can you run Windows software with just 2GB? Now that’s a completely different problem.
