Windows 11 Runs on a 15-Year-Old Intel Pentium 4 Chip

Microsoft has been mainly telling consumers that Windows 11 is meant for newer PCs. However, an internet user has uploaded a video that shows the OS can actually run on a 15-year-old Pentium 4 chip from Intel.

Last week, Twitter user “Carlos S.M.” posted screenshots of his Pentium 4-powered PC running Windows 11. He then followed that up with a video and benchmarks to verify that his machine was running the one-core Pentium chip with only 4GB of DDR2 RAM.
