- Windows 10 is known to be somewhat forgiving on older hardware. But is a Pentium II-based machine up to the task?

When he says that laptop has 160 MB of RAM, 20-year-old me's (from the mid-90's) voice in my head chimed in with "shit, that's a lot of memory" lol. :)
Present day me, having watched a history of Cyrix which talked about Pentium IIs as well last night, said that's a lot of ram for a Pentium II.
@@michaelcallummayaka I remember some of my friends and me, waiting for our lab session for programming ( we were doing a degree in computing in university). One guy says he's just bought a 40 mb hard drive. Someone else replies (his words, I'll never forget them): "40 meg? 40 MEG? FUCK ME?! You'll never fill that!!!!" This was 1995 IIRC. :)
I have 32gb of ddr4 2666mhzt ram, dam how technology has changed, I bet in 10/20 years 32gb will be laughable I bet machines will have around 200/300gb ram easily
@@seanmccafferty3189 I think you got your size or year wrong because 40MB in 1995 was very little. Quantum Fireball was a popular consumer range and they launched in 1995 with their 540 MB and 1.08 GB drives. year after with 640 MB and 1.28 GB. In 1990, 40mb was the smallest size I could get for the computer I bought then.
@@GeirEivindMork We may have had those sizes available in 1995, but as poor students then, we'd have been as likely to afford them as the average house at the time. My first, very basic, PC was an IBM PC/AT, which admittedly was 10 years old at the time of purchase in January 1995, had a whopping 10mb of hard drive storage, and was the type before IDE (I forget the name of it now). I upgraded it gradually, getting my hands on a 40mb IDE drive later that summer when I upgraded the motherboard also. I didn't get a 1.2gb drive until 1997, where I bought a stolen one from a friend who'd nicked it from his work, and it cost me £100 then, a fraction of what it would have cost otherwise.

That RAM might just be new old stock, could have a ton sitting in a warehouse in China that never sold before it became obsolete.
My thought exactly, there's a difference between newly produced, factory new and used. There are decades old computer parts or even computers that nobody ever used and are even sealed so it's technically brand new, even though it's painfully obsolete.

@@MatthiasWelwarsky Given the fact that China will say "tested and working" or "new" on basically anything under the sun and there's a literal fuck ton of videos/comments all over the web of clearly used hardware falsely advertised as "new" or "tested and working" I'd say people have a reason to be a bit suspicious when ordering something over a decade old from China under the pretense of it being "new." I mean people get "Microsoft Authorized Tech Representative" phone calls from someone named Dan Johnson yet the caller has an indian accent so thick you can smell the curry on his breath so I'd be inclined to not believe that one as legit either but that's just my two cents...
While the memory you purchased was probably salvaged, because of how memory is produced at the EOL there are always large stockpiles of unsold memory left to the manufacturer or OEMs. So despite not being produced in more than a decade, you can still fine brand new dimms

Oh, also, the Dell C510/C610 is one of my favorite laptops of all time. Super easy to work on, very modular, and so many options! I loved the dual battery bay/optical/floppy choices. I could take one apart and put it back together in under 30 minutes! I swear, those things got me thru a few years without a desktop... I had gotten about a dozen broken ones from my high school, and was able to recover enough working parts to build 3 full laptops. I kept swapping parts until I ended up with the husk of one, no keyboard or casings or covers or batteries, just acting like a desktop. Times were hard.
Thankfully now I have a shiny hodgepodge of modern parts.

I really like the concept of installing a os on a unsupported device, I would love to see you doing the reverse tough, installing older versions of windows on newer cpus like 7gen up that would be cool, but I guess it would be a lot more expensive to buy newer hardware
The 7th gen cpu will just assign 800 MHz to such to save power and focus on video delivery.
imagine having a super powerful pc with an i7-7700k and 16gb ram with windows 98
that wont work for various reasons.
@@wm2008 I think the latest windows version i7-7700k supports is Windows 7

The oldest computer I've gotten Windows 10 to run on is a 2006 Dell Latitude, don't remember specifics but I used it heavily from 2015-2019. I don't remember having to do anything weird or hacky with it, so it must have just been barely on the edge of bare minimum spec. Ran like a champ too, I replaced the HDD with an SSD and upgraded the RAM and that thing was plenty speedy.
I got windows 10 to run on a Dell Latitude D610 from 2004. It’s build 1709 of windows 10 so it doesn’t do much but even better is it can’t update past the anniversary update. Worst part is that it lacks a proper display driver so if the screen turns off it will stay off.
Putting Windows 10 on such an old system is like trying to put an automatic transmission and power steering in a model T.
Easy, take out the engine no tough electrical things like new cars today
@@antonio1681 And that would be the equivalent of taking out the old laptop's motherboard and CPU and upgrading with a new one.Which, unfortunately on laptops, is impossible, because you would also have to change the screen and the keyboard, by which time you would have paid the cost of a new laptop, which you would have merely stuffed in an old shell, so it would make no sense whatsoever.
I love how guy tries to act like he knows cars
@@michaelroberts1120 Some modules CAN fit and many build Frankenpads (T60/T61 mods) to have an older / retro look and better specs than the oldest one.

You have to be more specific. "Celeron M" was used on many different chips which aren't all SSE3/NX capable just like "Core i7". You can check the processor number at ark.intel.com But if the machine came out before 2007, chances are low. Oh and by the way, you can install windows 10 on any PC, but it may not boot.

The hardware is from the bad old days when Windows needed a lot of special driver support from the manufacturers, especially laptops. There were a lot of "standards" like PnP that were in flux and hardware makers were not really doing a good job of making sure they complied. Sony was a huge offender in this regard, relying instead on their in-house devs to write custom drivers for Windows, as they always sold their laptops pre-installed with Windows. I remember wiping a Sony I had that required me to go to the Sony support site and download all kinds of drivers and custom install crap to get Windows to install. Same with Thinkpads, though not quite as bad in most cases.
It's not just Sony (the one and only). They all to some degree force you to download drivers and updates for the machine to work correctly. They could, Apple style, just use vanilla hardware on everything so all your drivers from manufacturers are included. But they don't. People want improved performance, hardware manufacturers want fame and glory so they tweak stuff. You're always better off to skip windows drivers and install from the motherboard manufacturer or chip manufacturer. Using windows drivers is a last resort thing.
This totally reminds me of the time my Dad upgraded his PC to Windows 8. Crashed the whole thing! 😅

any time you upgrade os to outdated hardware, it never goes well.
@@QuantumScratcher no, you just hate it because its popular to hate, the pc maybe crashed because its slow, or doesnt meet the system requirements
I've been building/repairing/upgrading PC's since the IBM XP and AT computers... And I can verify from my own experience that the best way to turn an older working PC into a boat anchor is to try and upgrade it to the next operating system. Every "easy" OS upgrade I was ever involved in left me with a pile of cards and parts left over that the upgraded OS didn't have drivers for, assuming that the motherboard and CPU tolerated the upgrade.
Secondly... every upgrade always required more memory than the previous operating system used to do nearly anything. Half the time the new OS ran at half speed on the old hardware, even with twice the memory.
For example, I upgraded a Dos PC up through Windows 2000 and all it took was
3 motherboards w cpu's
about a dozen memory modules
1 add on HD controller board
3 video cards
1 power supply after the original fried out
2 optical drives
1 updated sound card
4 network cards
5 HDDs
3 sets of network cables
Not to mention 4 OS install sets...
And I'm sure I missed something...
So why do it? Because I couldn't get the funding for a new PC for my desk, but I could order parts... So it was easier to just upgrade than order a new PC... But in any real world, I spent more time and lost more hair doing OS upgrades for my PC and various other PC's around the office than it was ever worth aside from the learning experience.
And I'm not even going to go into the software that breaks when you upgrade a PC, nor the strange intermittent glitches that upgraded PC's are prone to...
If you have a PC that works well, never upgrade the OS, if you know what's good for you.
Take the GNU/Linux pill
@@sakesaurus1706 no
Maybe. I prefer an IBM AT 8Mhz myself. You could do Realsound emulation in 1990 to simulate sound channels. Might work with an IBM XT at 6Mhz, but probably too slow.
I bet sure as shit that the op has no idea what we are even talking about because he was in diapers before getting into computers in the late 80's and early 90's. Onto this "pentium II" bullshit and you could hope he had heard of a 386 or 486 at that time, but NAH!
That last computer not installing Win 10 was odd. I installed 10 on a T43p just fine, no hacks involved.
Edit: Turns out the oldest ThinkPad that you can install Win 10 on is the T43.

Always the extreme 'life support' measures to use these ancient machines. Amazing. Even if it does work it will take forever to do even the most basic function.
I believe I had that more recent ThinkPad model back in the day! I didn't bother to upgrade it from XP, as I got a new computer with Vista. Also, I'm impressed that Windows 10 runs on that last computer, given that Asus didn't even bother shipping it with the then-current version of Windows (Vista).
The Windows 7 installation says it needs 512 MB RAM, yet the minimum system requirements say 1GB. This is why you can't trust system requirements.
That's Windows Vista, not Windows 7
Щас бы на 128 мб ставить Windows 7 + говорить с англоговорящими ребятами на русском
I have a Compaq v2000 that would throttle back the CPU core speed on anything less than 2GB RAM when using XP or 7. Oh and despite it not being compatible it runs better on win 7 then it did on XP
osp80 The V2000 had the same when it was new, I upgraded it to 2GB due to the speed issue and because it was using up the battery inside 45 mins, as it was using the swap file virtually continuity.
That's actually the recommended requirements. Bare minimum is 512MB for 32-bit and 1GB for 64-bit. But it's almost unusable.
Do a video about the strange underground Windows 2000 mod community. They've made major compatibility enhancements and even entire service packs.
CKT1138 I think I've seen a video of someone installed XP software on a win 2000 pc before.
Bump; highly interested

I miss that era! (Windows 2000 is just a updated version of Windows 95/98)
Had the video playing in the background and the mention of the C610 really caught me, my first computer was a D610.
Windows 2000 would run great on that Thinkpad. Win2k can even run XP programs with a little hacking. The perfect OS for it would be "Haiku" it's a very lightweight and fast OS. It's is still in beta, but development has increased rapidly and a Stable release is not many years away at this pace.
Windows 10 (and Windows 8.1) requires a CPU that supports the NX bit, which means a later Pentium 4, or an Athlon 64 or later.
Don't forget the special socket 478 ones too.
Lanturnlord The Core processors are what I think you're referring to, and they're newer than P4.
No I am talking about specific P4 socket 478 cpus
Unless you patch the kernel. It's not easy but if you're familiar with WinPE it's definitely doable.
Lanturnlord Which ones, specifically?
i have that exact eeepc. bought it on pre-order... was quickly letdown by the inability to expand storage... :/
you can swap out the hdd on the eeepc but the RAM is soldered to the mobo

Some models had (like the 701sd) swappable msata ssd's.
@@maxi_vwpolo Even the later models that had swappable storage were a pain in the ass, because the modules _looked like_ mSATA but they weren't.They were actually a proprietary IDE SSD on a miniPCIe connector kind of deal, and replacements for that were super expensive (since it's non-standard) and quite frankly, shit. By the time Asus had figured out how to build decent netbooks (1000H, 1005HA), the whole netbook craze had already died down as people realized how uselessly slow these things actually were...

how about going the other way? how does Windows 98 run on a modern machine?
the old kernel will make the computer slow
Windows 95 will NOT run on modern machines without a patch (Amdk6upd.exe)
I think it wouldn't, "new" software can handle old hardware, old software need patches and tricks in order to run on new hardware, many companies use virtual machines to run some old services not supported by recent versions of Windows that only a virtualized Windows XP can handle
Unless you have less than 1GB of RAM (realistically about 768MB) it won't natively boot so you have to limit the RAM to 1GB and mess with VCache to get it to boot. There are third party hacks to get it to work better but you're still limited by driver support.
These older OSs run super fast on the newer machines. However they get security issues ending up in highly vulnerable situations. I hope MS keeps these (98, XP) cores with upgraded security patches so that such an OS will be fast, secure and stable.

Queen Awesome Gaming plain rock......

I mean i grew up using a pentium 3/4... but that BIOS @7:15 really shows the age of that system, more than the hardware specs themselves. Nowadays a normal user has so much control over the behaviour of a system, it's incredible. This video is immensly fascinating, subbed!
could the think pad be a screen resolution issue, the staring windows looks off center and the progress bar missing, did u try putting it in safe mode and running it at a 640x480 screen resolution?
you have soo much patience I couldn't spend that much time and be sooo calm with soo many failure o_0 good video by the way
You might not have the patience to work in IT, then. Working on servers is just a masterclass in patience, since they can take anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes just to boot, depending on whether they need to perform memory checks and how many HBAs or NICs they have installed that they need to load the BIOS for and scan for bootable devices. I've spent entire work days where I've had OS installations running on machines while I worked on other things just because of crap like this. And you'd better pray to whatever deity you regard as holy if you're working on older IBM power systems, HP UX, or Solaris machines. They're incredibly annoying to install and configure operating systems on and the older IBM systems never seem to install AIX the same each time. I have, however, gotten at least passably good at navigating my way around AIX because of this.
Still remember when my sister got her brand new Latitude for uni, not sure of the exact model but it was the same design as your C610, they used it for a few years

I currently have Windows 8.1 on my 7 year old machine I bought in 2015 Brand New, now I can't even afford a newer machine with Windows 11 Pro, if Walmart would've had layaway, yet might still took me longer to pay the cash price, hard living off a social security check and these bills took me over at the bank years ago and I have never recovered. Scam artists also ruint things for me, now I don't even believe people really believe what I say is true, makes me want to cry! You Have A Great Blessed Day and Night!
There is a difference between windows 8 and windows 8.1. Windows 8 will work on older hardware. Good luck on finding a Windows 8 iso.
I have a 8 and 8.1 iso on my server if I ever need it...
It still supports mouse and keyboard as much as any other windows OS, it just doesn't have as many of the more keyboard/mouse optimized UI elements.
Windows 8/8.1 will not install on a AMD Athlon x64 +3800.
Microsoft has them all up for download going back to Windows 7
Windows 8.1 iso's are easy to find. Windows 8 iso's are not, they are 2 different things. I could use a rude rebuttal about your father doing something to a potted plant but out of respect for this channel I won't.
Commenters, please watch the video before making comments - he specifically covers many of your complaints in the video.
PAE, SSE2/3, NX? Yeah, he covers all that.
Boot from USB flash drive? Yeah, he covers that.
I mean, I knew the answer from the start. I still decided to stick around to see what happens.
No. Did you try taking the battery out and turning it back on again? Could be a fuse.
he specifically asks us to tell him why it won't work "in the comments"
What about EFI? That alone would kill this whole idea.
32-bit versions of Windows 10 will load on BIOS systems. I know that even as late as Windows 8, you could load the 64-bit version on non-EFI-boot systems. Not sure about W10.
I'm banking on ReactOS to revive all my old hardware. Running windows software on older hardware without the drama of a microsoft oriented setup system, and with the fact that ReactOS has a lot different requirements (the project is aiming to support windows NT 5.1 hardware and work from there) while maintaining the cross compatibility for older hardware which will be so good for people like us; trying to keep using old hardware while running newer software.
If I remember right, it's not too hard to hack in custom display modes into display drivers. I think it's just a matter of adding a few lines to an .inf file for the custom resolution you want.
why can't he use the usb to install windows 10 a pentium 2 has usb port slow as they are they are still usb🤣
@@SaraMorgan-ym6ue Because the BIOS can't boot from USB.
@@AngelaTheSephira oh common you can just flash a custom bios on that fixes that simple issue
@@SaraMorgan-ym6ue LMAO no you can't
@@AngelaTheSephira yes you can just because your to stupid not to know how does not change the fact that it can be done🤣
People used to complain about Vista but after my old PC's floppy died, there was no way to install the sata drivers. Even slipstreaming didn't work for me. My only choice was to install Vista and it was fine. The only fix I had to do was prevent Vista from installing the onboard nVidia audio drivers. That caused a bluescreen. Installed some drivers that avoided that chip. It was a far better experience than XP in my opinion.
many would call your last sentence BLASPHEMY, but honestly I grew up with Vista SP1 and I didn't experience a single bluescreen
note: I only really looked stuff up online watched videos or played games on its 3 GB of RAM and Celeron 900M 2.2 GHz it was a Compaq Presario CQ60 also I feel robbed that it doesn't have the AMD dual-core of similar clock speed that could also be inside the system
Speaking of Celeron overclocking.
This machine is from the era where the early Celerons came to the market. With models such as the 266, 300, and 333, but also the legendary C300A that could overclock way above double it's base clockspeed. The thing with the Celerons was that though the cache was half or even a quarter of the size that the Pentiums used, it ran at full speed. So in many cases, an overclocked Celeron 300A could be on par with or even beat out a similarly clocked Pentium II
A long story below, but you might have flashbacks...
I had a lot of fun overclocking 300A's, but it was very rare to get them over 550MHz or so. I'd buy them in full cartons lots (AU $250 each), clock them all and choose the best one. Then sell the rest of the off as "overclock checked" with specs of MHz and Voltage for $250 (same price). They were easy to sell because people weren't taking a risk. Occasionally you'd get one that couldn't crack 450MHz which was the standard step from 4.5 x 66MHz FSB to 4.5 x 100 MHz FSB, and that meant running a weird FSB like 75 or 83 MHz with all manner of drama of the ISA and AGP. Unlike the AMDs, the Intel chips of that time were Multiplier locked.
...
After doing testing, lapping, swapping and selling many times I ended up with my best Malay Retail chip, which I still own! It did 504MHz (4.5 x 112) at well under 2.0V (stock) however I kept bashing up against the CPU Clock and Multiplier/Divider steps that were a limitation in the old MoBos like my Abit BH6. My next step was 4.5 x 124 = 558 MHz which it could handle but needed a voltage boost, plus my PC100 RAM (and controller) was not coping with the 24% overclock. I could change timings and get it stable but it was unhappy in summer, so I just ran it 24/7 for about 3 years at a rock-solid 512MHz.
...
I was there right at the beginning, and it took a lot of skill and luck to get good results reliably (for a daily driver machine). After that crazy time, the motherboards improved significantly first with 1MHz FSB steps (eg Abit BF6) and then more control over the various dividers, memory speeds, etc. Now days, overclocking is so damn easy it's ridiculous!
...
I kept my Slot 1 300A as my main machine for a long time, it never died but eventually wasn't fast enough. The next upgrade was a AMD Athlon XP1800+ (Barton) and various Socket 478 P4s (so many variants!), but the next huge jump forward was when the Core2Duos came out.
Note that the first (Slot 1) 300A is a different CPU from the earlier Celerons, and heaps different from the Celeron Mobile CPUs.
I used to resale older pcs with windows 10 and maybe more ram HD space was fun miss them days
Core 2 quads have issues getting setup with Windows 10 due to lack of instruction sets. Is always interesting to see people's efforts and work arounds though
I am sure that the device manager on Windows 10 will be full of unknown devices.
Those are from another planet devices for Windows 10.
What I do with a raft of unknown windows devices is boot a Linux mint usb or cd, get hardinfo, see what the devices are and get basic drivers for them. It usually works. You may have to force windows to accept the driver.

With redux mod too
it can run crysis at 4k with 120fps
With graphics of GTA 1

i cant fathom how this video's replayability factor is literally off the charts
it was so fascinating
Thank you very much for your time, I was just about to try installing Windows 10 on my old Pentium III tualatin to give it a new life, but seeing the situation... I suspect the final result.
Cheers from a fellow Twin Cities nerd. This makes me want to fire up my old Thinkpad T-20.
I know it's old, but for future videos, make sure to get the device drivers for all integrated components. I did testing for those issues and came across hardware not working due to no software telling the computer how to use it.
Love this kind of videos, last month I installed windows 10 64 bits on a 2007 Acer Extenza with a pentium II, 2 GB of DDR2 and an SSD, stupid build, but I love it
hello i agree with you, i remember back in the era of the beginning of the pentium 3, the celeron was considered as a pentium 2
I have an Acer Aspire One from about 2008 with 1GB of RAM that I was able to install Windows 10 without the need for any additional drivers. Everything worked upon installation. It's obscenely slow, but once booted, I can satisfactorily run Pandora in the browser for a web audio player, but doing anything else with it would probably make me want to launch it across the yard.
I still have a celeron and use it. It is a Intel Celeron J1800
With 4 GB Ram, and 500 GB hard drive space. It is outdated, and i have had it for over 3 years. It originally came with windows 8, but i did a free windows 10 upgrade in 2015, and i use it actively to this day, only had to format it once, due to malware and constant blue screening, but it still works, but it could be better
Also, in my XP VM, i had to upgrade to vista before it let me upgrade to 7

Sean Walla Walla Install Linux. Try Mint 19.
Some people don't understand what old means. Celeron J1800 is from 2013, which is...pretty new. It is from the same era as Ivy Bridge and 3770K is not slow by any means even today. Very old CPUs are Pentium II, III, AMD K6. Old CPUs are Athlon XP, Athlon 64, Pentium 4. Old-ish CPUs are Core 2 Duos, like the E6300, and that still runs windows 10 like a champ. I myself have a core2duo T9600 elitebook and it runs windows 10 great with an ssd.
That dell lattitude was very similar to my first computer though I'm not sure if it's the exact model. Mine had 512 megs of ram, a 30 gig hdd, and a dvd reader and writer. It ran XP and I have super fond memories of it. I wish I knew what processor it had. I played tons of ROMs of it as well as Microsoft flight sim 2003. I still have it somewhere, unfortunately the screen is cracked though.
You can use an external monitor
@@notrickastley7935 yeah, I've done that before. It cracked when I was about 13, and until I was an adult, I didn't have access to a monitor. I may drag it out one day.
How did you create bootmgr on the sd card on the asus?
How far can you go in the other direction? What's the most recent computer you can find that will run for example Win98?
I have a Dell GT260 that I installed Win98 on it is a 2003 computer. Fine with 1Gb RAM, not with 2Gb that I use with XP. I have the screen in VGA as no drivers for the dual monitor card I have inside. NT4 is okay.
maybe when they say the ram is brand new is because it's never been used
Precisely. That is all that 'brand new' means.
Thanks for your sharing 👍
can anyone tell me the music that plays around the 32:48 mark?
Netbooks like the EeePC where never meant to be laptops, Colin. They where meant to be internet devices that only needed minimal, cheap hardware but so many people couldn’t grasp the concept and demanded Windows on them that they very quickly ramped up in power but also ramped up in price, much to the chagrin of those of us who actually wanted cheap internet devices and not inconveniently mini laptops.
Lassi Kinnunen in context a laptop is a full desktop PC with a large storage device intended to run productivity software, full games, store and playback music, documents and movies & everything else a PC does. An internet device is (or was) just intended to browse web pages, read emails & open basic attachments and use instant messaging on a larger screen than your phone can provide & netbooks added a physical keyboard to that. You have to understand that at the time smartphones very limited and not the universal norm, so a small, cheap device that didn’t need a lot of storage, or the hardware to run serious games, CAD software etc, etc and as a result offered much longer battery life than a laptop could was very useful at the time.
Do you know the meaning of the word "where" ?
River Cress do you know how you look when you pick on someone who’s severely dyslexic?
They were badly built. Such devices with such bad hardware were faded to be useless (even for web) after like a year or two...
They were a big scam from the enterprises...
Many of them even dont have a decent build quality...
Well I mean was it that people couldn't grasp the concept or was it just that it was a dud idea and people just didn't want it / Wanted something with Windows since Windows is what most people know and use. Exactly why chromebooks aren't super widespread and popular as well.
I installed Win 10 on my Acer Aspire One Netbook but it ran so slow
I replaced it with Linux Mint.
Mint works great on the old netbooks
Lunix Mint is great
Yeah from my experience Windows 10 is kind of crap on really low in machines I have a laptop with an intel atom and 4 gigs of RAM and it runs like crap with Windows 10. However my i5 7500 GTX 1060 ssd desktop runs Windows 10 flawlessly. I think that most people have issues with Windows 10 because they try to run it on $200 laptops.
Ecorigon IV “really low in machines”. How about low-end users?
@@davidlp3019 I agree with you. :))
You can also do all this in debian.. Making a winpe with a wide variety of dell driver (most of which cover other systems' drivers) will upload if wanted...
I want to know if that 2 memory ram is compatible with ibmthinkpad T41 and how much it's cost please and where I can find it please
Regarding the P4 CPU thing. The P4 was a marketing tool in the midst of the Hz wars. The P4 managed to hit some seriously high clock speeds, but the real life experience was poor. Long story short, Intel used a lot of clever techniques (such as branch prediction) to improve matters. Then the focus of the PR shifted from Hertz to Watts. Energy efficiency was now important. Intel went back to the P3 architecture, but retrofitted all the clever stuff they needed to make the P4 usable. The result? The amazing Core architecture. Very efficient and incredibly real-world quick.
Pentium 4s could go as high as 3.8Ghz, something no other processor has been able to do up till this day.

My answer would be to check the available drivers on your manufacturers website which will list all versions of Windows they have drivers for.
Omg I was just thinking how fun would this be with my old dell latitude 610. What’s funny is these were used in public schools all over from early 2000s-2010. You were able to get them refurbished on eBay for like $85. I loved mine and used it for many years from like 05-09 and after sold it to a friend who used it another few years. I had mine maxed out and I was even able to do some light gaming on it.
I have a 10 year old Toshiba which has a Pentium T3400, 4gb of ram (can run on 1gb) and I got that to run Windows 10 1903 which is the latest update which is insane for a 10-11 year old machine.
@@sc6 Interesting. Were you ever into motion design?
[Spoiler] You can't. Microsoft just included checking of NX bit since win8 and BAM! No old CPU allowed!
I remember having installed WinXp on a fully fledged PII 350Mhz with 256Mb RAM as requested by a customer of the computer shop I was the technician of a pair of decades ago. It took the best of three hours and was continental drift slow in booting up afterwards but the paying customer (because like hell we'd have done it without a compensation) was happy nonetheless at the end. 😁
I installed Windows 7 32-bit on an old Gigabyte GA-6VEML with 1Gb RAM and 1GHz Pentium 3 - it installed fine but there were no drivers for the onboard video, but a Zotac PCI Win 7 compatible card worked - it was quite sluggish and I meant to try 10 on it but haven't yet - the Zotac cards support Win 10 so it should work if 10 doesn't complain about it being too slow - I once tried to install ME on a 486 and it reported a 150MHz CPU was needed so I installed ME on a K6-2 and then put the drive in the 66MHz 486 - removed the mobo drivers and installed the proper ones for the 486 board and that worked - so needless to say I am enjoying this video :)
