    The trick to figuring out the minimum memory on old NT versions was to clone the line in the boot ini which you normally used to start Windows NT and add a MAXMEM switch, specifying how much memory you wanted to allocate in megabytes. Decimal values actually worked, so you could actually start some versions with less than 6 MB, but not much lower.

    Look at those disk-usage numbers, 70-100%. It's swapping virtual-memory non-stop. If it's a hard-drive, that's going to make it slower than molasses in winter. If it's an SSD, it's going to wear it out faster than a speeding bullet.

    I see many people mad at Windows 11 RAM requirement, but I think it makes perfect sense. I wouldn't expect the minimum requirements to mean "it's enough to boot the system", but rather "it's enough to provide a decent and usable experience". Considering Windows 10 already ran extremely poorly with less than 4GB of RAM, imagine how bad it would be to daily run Windows 11 with that? Many people also forget that these requirements are important to force OEMs to stop selling devices which can barely run the OS (Windows 10 budget laptops with 2GB RAM and slow HDDs were not an uncommon sight, unfortunately).

What I am classifying as reasonable in my comment is the *listed* requirement for Windows 11 - there's no point in saying that only X amount of RAM is needed if, truly, that would lead to a terrible experience. But I also think it's lame instead of getting more optimized, or at least staying the same, Windows has been getting heavier as time goes on.

    • @paulstelian97
      @paulstelian97 ปีที่แล้ว +47

      4GB is the minimum requirement for it to run _well_ . I guess 512MB allows it to run the most important system services and everything (and Windows is in the low memory services mode, where system services are merged into fewer svchost.exe processes with many services like before Windows 10, rather than multiple separate ones which I believe only happens if you have at least like 3GB of RAM by default)

    • @maxpoulin64
      @maxpoulin64 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      4GB just ensures it won't be trashing the page file to death, which is why it was so slow at 512MB.
      Windows will happily work with pretty much arbitrary amounts of memory once it's booted up, but it will do so by using disk as RAM, so painfully slow on an SSD, and a completely slideshow on an HDD.
      Microsoft basically don't want 11 to be another Vista where people put it on way underpowered machines. So they make the minimum requirements to make sure it will actually run decently, and people don't go "wow 11 so slow what a bloated piece of crap!" after updating from 10, by effectively preventing them from updating at all.

  • @clementpruvost8670

    Theory: Maybe Windows 11 minimum amount of RAM is between 256 and 512 Mb. I remember in older version of VMware that the recommended amount of RAM to Windows 2000 is 384 Mb of RAM and personally, I like to install Win 9x/2000 with 444 Mb of memory. Maybe with the 4 Mb of memory changes, we can find the minimum amount of RAM and therefore, the limit .

    Really interesting video for showing the absolute minimum for RAM. I do believe Microsoft intentionally mandated 4GB of RAM for Windows 11 to discourage those with 32-bit computers from upgrading (since 32-bit computers can only support 4GB), but I think that this is kinda proof that its still possible to do so, with a lot of patience.

    What is important to take away from this experiment is that at 4:30 during the successful 512 MB test, there is a total of 1.6 GB reported by the Task Manager as comitted memory.
    So the recommended memory, as opposed to the minimum amount of 512 MB, should be at least 1,600 MB unless you accept unnecessary utilization of memory pages from the secondary Swap-file. Add some user applications and multi-tasking capabilities and we end up at 2 GB.

    Sooo probably there will be some Chuwi branded tablet around there with 1 GB of RAM and running windows 11, but a 4 digit price tag workstation with 64 GB of RAM that ran almost every released version of NT can't because of a TPM. Given that the Vista fiasco was because of marketing hardware that didn't have enough power as "Vista Ready" they maybe are being a little too conservative this time

      They have some software level restriction, it has nothing to do with the RAM capacity. If you really want to test out Windows 11 (maybe just for the look and feel), make your mind to use Tiny11 (Another Windows 11 but without those software restrictions like TPM etc. )

    I don't know what I'm saying here, but is there a way to hardline the registry so it doesn't need to appear in RAM? like a text file it can read instead, or maybe just making the registry itself shorter/smaller in filesize?
    you'd probably have to re-write windows.

    • @gamtax

      Saw someone's analysis about Windows. Registry is like Window's Achilles heel. I don't remember what's the benefit but one of the main disadvantages is the data is loaded and stays there, which is the reason why we need to restart after installing Windows update.

    Remember, when Windows runs out of RAM space, it can use your storage disk drive as virtual RAM for things that do not need the physical RAM speed. (That's called a paging file and the size can be personalized in settings → system → about → advanced system settings → performance settings → advanced)
    Proof of it, is the disk usage

    Thought I'd mention this
    Modern versions of windows are actually terrible at memory management. You could give windows 10/11 like 128gb of ram and it would eventually manage to fill it up. It neglects properly cleaning up after processes finish running, it delays closing others, it's misusing the page file assigned, and the best one is that it very slowly memory leaks, so if you leave the OS with some software running for a week or two, it'll be using more and more ram until it runs out.

    I'd like to see this done again, but without windows being able to use more virtual memory than physical memory available. I believe a lot of the reason it runs so slow is because the hard drive is being used as substitute virtual memory, whereas the operating system is using far more virtual addresses. This is also how you can use browsers like chromium which take up gigabytes on so little physical memory.
