Probably, the Microsoft requirements are set to avoid the huge shitstorm that happened with "Windows Vista Capable" PCs, with people complaining about performance and make Windows Vista and Microsoft look bad. Microsoft now splits users in two categories: 1. The ones who have a supported PC; 2. The ones who know what they are doing.

school computers be like:

In the Wikipedia article about Pentium 4, the "all support" line means, that _all_ CPUs in one table support certain instruction sets as a baseline, but does not mean, as if neither of them didn't support the NX bit. As I checked out the article today, Intel Pentium 4 model 506, launched in June 2005, is listed as one of the earliest with Intel 64 technology and the Execute Disable Bit. The Prescott 90nm table contains three other models with those features.

Seeing that switch from non hd to hd screen is just so satisfying Congrats on your new p4 win11 build, it is absolutely amazing ❤

"A TPM Module, which I'm not going to use" Just out of spite of Win11. lmao. Loved that.

this guy has got to be on microsofts enemies list

This is so cool. I grew up on P4 machines, so seeing it run Windows 11 is breathtaking, even if it's far better than anything my family had as a kid!

I posted a video doing this too. Your method was much better, where you are checking instruction sets. I just tried 64 bit chips until I found one that worked. Your video is extremely more informational too. Excellent work!!

Here is a suggestion: Dual boot as many of version of Microsoft windows system as you can (starting windows 11 then going down)

I wasn't born in that era of computers, but seeing people get nostalgic makes me feel something to the hardware of that time. Great video as always. Thank you for making content.

I suspect the other SATA ports are not totally proprietary but they connect to an extra chip. Using the proper chip preinstall drivers might make them bootable. Love your hacky videos, I do stuff like this myself, it's so much fun 😁

As a piece of advice, you can always use just 4 pins for processor power on motherboards with 8 pin sockets. The motherboard wouldn't know since the wires on the 8 pin socket connect together. You're still bound to the power constraint of a single 4 pin cable though.

i LOVE this video! It's in the style of an Druaga1 video! A style hard to replicate, but when done right, can make a 5 hour computer adventure bareable!

Hay man. Just wanted to say I love the voice over. I've seen people cover 1980s and 1990s computer tech, but it is rare to find a channel that covers 2000s computer tech.

Best Windows 11 retro-install so far. Subscribed.

You can't dislike this man's videos. As a content creator myself i know how hard is to make a video. And i can say of how the complexity of this video is i can only apreciate the effort that he is making to record and edit that video!

Awesome video! I learned some new stuff about CPU instructions. Thank you for the solid and clear explanations.

I love this kind of videos with hardware, software and interesting experiments and facts. Cool to see that it works, the short instruction sets explanation was interesting to me, never really thought about it for years. Keep it up!

Great vid! Not only it was really fun in that druaga1 style, but you made it really informative as well, with the instructions explanations!

dude, you're like my brother from another mother. I do stuff with the same savvy-ness, passionate about the same quirks. BIG UP!

The GPU should support HW video decoding for H264. You need to install an extension to force browser to use this codec instead of VP9 for KZfaq. In theory this will allow to play up to 1080p videos without problems.

This style of video is exactly what I wanted! Love the editing too, you really made me laugh with this one

I’m going to subscribe to you because your editing is great, music is awesome, video is great even though I don’t know what you’re talking about some of the time xD

27:15... Yep. I had the P5Q PRO with the same gimmick. It is meant to improve performance in drives like the Western Digital "Raptor" drives that natively supported SATA. In XP you needed the floppy to install the needed drivers.

Whenever I hear music from Geometry Dash, I know you know this game. And I appreciate it. Also nice build! Love this kind of videos, I myself build computers, newer or older ones. You deserve more subs!

This was a good and cool video, and I am honestly surprised you managed to get a Pentium 4 working on Windows 11.

Freakin' awesome, love this... Good job, your skills are amazing! I can only imagine what a nightmare this would be to get going. Not to mention Murphy showing up ("Murphy's Law).

Super vidéo ! Merci de tes recherches

Damn, Microsoft probably looking at this like: *Dammit, we wanted to scam people into buying our new surface pros, but they found the way around it*

Mad respect for getting this to work!

Thank you for doing this experiment. It gives a lot of us hope to be able to use Windows 11 on our aging PC systems.

Actually I have the Asus P5K Premium Motherboard with a Q9650 CPU and 8 GB Of RAM.That's a nice motherboard you have there. Just recently bought a 1000 WATT PSU. Works great too. Liked your video. Thanks for sharing!

You have some of the most interesting tech videos. Wonder if there are any caveats to running on unsupported hardware. I'm sure MS would like to say so! Thanks for all ya do. ;)

Really cool to see that it works!! That ending scared me, I heard that laugh and it I thought it was behind me outside (I even looked up to see if I could see anyone lol)

With the P4 640 HT, I was able to boot only W10 32bit and I really feel your pain trying to get this work. Nice to see this refresh boots W11, even tho these were terrible chips. Back in time, AMD got much better processors, Intel really bruteforces these old Pentiums, like they do now with the i9s. From what I saw, the first able processor to run W11 is Athlon 64 X2 3600+, that was released even a year before this one.

This is mind blowing. Love the Building Part

your commentary is amazing! id love to hear you in more videos!

You know stuff gets real when someone gets Windows 11 to run on a processor type I couldn't even get Windows 10 to run new on.

Hello guy - probably you tray Linux. I work now for 4 years. It is very nice to work with it . Nice how curious you are to try this old stuff. Tanks for your content

when i saw creo pop up in the top right corner, my heart filled up with joy, i love that artist and i think it's really underrated. other than that, great video, loved watching it.

Lack of integrated graphics used to just be par for the course. Outside of name brand systems, I don't think I had a MB with integrated graphics until the Core 2 Duo days, so the thought of a 775 MB without this at that time still makes perfect sense to me.

no wonder school pcs boot up in 15 mins

Excellent work! Thanks for posting. Subscribed. Here's an interesting experiment if you like pushing old hardware to its limits..Take any 386 or 486 computer with 4mb, stick win95 on it and downgrade it to 2mb. I heard it's possible even though the minimum is supposed to be 4mb.

This was an amazing video, and project. It's funny for us older guys, looking at the attention of a CPU that was just a short moment in the range of CPUs I've used in my years. Some memorable moments were probably going from XT to AT 8086, 286, 386, but 486 was interesting, with the SX, DX, DX2, and even DX4, when everything was 25/50/75/100 or 33/66/100. Once into Pentium, P60, P90, was it then P75 and P100?, the cartridge like Pentium III? after that it was just we got into cores and Hyper Threading, and just numbers going up... I love your enthusiasm and attention to detail! PS: Did I see 1 Core, 2 Threads in your cpuZ window? Was this the first HyperThreaded CPU?

Impressive, would be interesting to see if Dirt 2 runs and if so what performance you get. A higher end Pentium 4 running at 3Ghz is the minimum requirement which you slightly exceed, you have tons of memory and the GPU was designed to show the game off at it's best with DX11 enabled, so unless Windows 11 bogs down the processor too much or causes incompatibility issues it should be at least playable. Dirt 2 was one of the first games to take advantage of DX11 and this stood out when you drove through water.

I love how many USBs are on that motherboard. all motherboards should come with that many USBs

Love your videos!

Great video and music!

Honestly that motherboard is so cool looking

TPM is considered useful, but for corporative systems, and home system is practically useless, has a different enviorement, with this video confirmed who windows 11 runs excellent with almost cpus, ram and hard disks Thanks for showing this video, really is very informative

That Fate reference caught me off guard, have a like

My kind of nerdy! :) Good video.

Actualy, this is a very rare thing to see TPM in a box from Russia. Because TPM modules in a motherboards of any kind are always get deleted when they getting shiped to Russia.

My old Dell computer had a Pentium 4 3.20 GHz HT that supported 64-bit OSes. You couldn't use anything newer than Windows 8 in 64-bit, though, as it required extra instruction sets for security that weren't on the CPU.

I wonder if you tried any games on it. Anyway, well done. I think I had this motherboard for a while. I don't remember when or with what exact other hardware. Definitely not a P4 as the only P4 I ever owned was the mobile version.

love this type of videos

The limits are the secure boot and the other special requirements But they can be bypassed in the registry What I never understood was why Microsoft doesn't just put in an option to bypass these requirements in the setup instead of requiring people to go into the registry and make changes and then do the setup again I remember with a 286 laptop that only had 2 megabytes of memory that I upgraded from 1 MB, and Microsoft told me there was no possible way I could get Windows 95 to run on a 286 and that the minimum requirements were a 386 25 MHz and 4 MB of RAM It took a lot of work to install the newer 6.22 DOS with the special program that allowed you to use a null modem cable and hook it up between two computers and run one program from the disc on one machine and one on the other and transfer files using the cable I had to replace the 10 MB hard drive with a 60 MB hard drive and use a boot loader over way in the bios to get it to recognize the 60 MB hard drive but I did get it to recognize it And it took about 5 hours to transfer the files from all six Windows 95 three-and-a-half in disks to the laptop and then I ran the setup program with the switches that would tell it to bypass the processor check and the memory check and the hard drive storage check and it took about six hours to install but it did install and even on a monochrome 286 laptop it ran pretty good It did not crash and the lag time and Hang-Ups were not that bad it was definitely usable And the thing that really had my head spinning was the fact that if they had written Windows 95 in 1985 there is no reason why we could not have had Windows 95 in 1985 on an 80286 computer. I think the first color monitors came out around 1981 and I think they had 16 colors EGA was 16 colors and was around in 85 It used a 9 pin connector The limits were there, but I believe in 1987 VGA monitors came out. So, we definitely could have had 256 color display in 87 I believe the 1mb trident video card was out in 1990 or 91 Windows 3.1 was out in 92 It was a big improvement over the previous windows version, but I remember seeing Windows 95 installed for the first time and I was floored by the difference between it and 3.1 It was the turning point for computers People had been using computers to get on AOL from 90 but 95 with Internet Explorer CD included just changed everything.

This video is really nice, showing what Pentium 4's can do. Microsoft is really greddy with their system requirments even tho, in reality, they are much lower. Good video Enderman! Keep up the good work!

i loved this vid dude! what a ride, poor pentium 4

That great that all of this hardware is still supported, im going to make a dual boot between 10 and XP as a retro machine laptop thingy maybe you should do the same as it could be entertaining!

you can go even a tad less than a pentium 4 with windows 11. since it's 64 bit required, most people assume the pentium 4 ht is the lowest it can go. but there were indeed a few amd cpus a bit older that were single core single thread, but 64 bit capable. some of these old early semprons and athlons indeed will install and run windows 11. and if you can push 1gb into the system with a 4 slot board and 256mb sticks, it starts becoming "somewhat" useable even.

Athlon 64 would’ve been fun. Same era as Pentium 4 but with the huge benefit of not being 💩😁 Athlon 64 was also the origin of x86-64 (then AMD64) and the NX bit instruction mentioned in this video.

I really like how you show the computer build process ❤

My 631 Cedar Mill rig was a really great set up.. one of the greatest processors they ever designed.

"Hey smokers, Druaga1 here"

I did something very similar when the Windows 11 Insider Previews first came out, but I went low-end. I bought the 3GHz Pentium 4 (I think it was the 631), borrowed a Gigabyte G41-ES2L board from work, popped in 2GB RAM, connected a VGA monitor to the iGPU, and off I went. I did give it an SSD to make things a little easier though. It chugged like you wouldn't believe and the iGPU was *horrendous*, but I did get full 1080p out of it. And so on the 30th of June 2021, I had an absolute shitbox doing what Microsoft said was impossible :P

I was always a huge fan of you❤️❤️❤️

it's so cool you made a diy space heater!

Great video as always! I wonder, if Windows 11 can even run on even older CPUs. But that's very impressive!

I have the similar PC but RAM is manufactured by hynix, CPU is Pentium 4 641 and Motherboard is Asus P5LD2 SE 1 rev. Enderman is got ahead of me. I wanted to create upgrade series where I wanted to find out which version of Windows is the latest for my Pentium 4 PC. But while I was editing it (since November 2022) Enderman uploaded this. I hope my video will still interesting for people who don't understand English or don't watch Enderman...

Hats off to your work 👏 🙌 👍

Great effort installing Win5dows 11 on mechanical drives with Pentium 4. This prove Windows 11 still works on older specs. I think Core2Duo or Core2Quad with SATA SSD dan 4GB RAM will rundecent enough with Windows 11 (Tiny11). I use Tiny11 for several low specs like Celeron 3060, Core i3-17 from 3rd-4th Gen and 128-256Gb SSD, and running well for office, email dan browsing.

"While this machine doesn't have the system requirements for Windows 11, you will continue to receive Windows 95 updates" LoL

I have a p4 3.4ghz prescHot I think its the extreme one, I bought it for gaming. There was noticeable input lag which was due to the longer execution pipeline so I got a 3.2 north wood (I think) and was much better in games and a lot cooler.

You can now use Rufus 3.20 (and higher releases) to create a USB bootable media to bypass virtually all the Windows 11 22H2 restrictions, including an internet connection and a Microsoft account to complete the initial setup.

I remember building PCs from back in that era .. a trip down memory lane.

An observation: You could swap the other PC's guts into your only spare case, and the case that you empty out would house the build featured in this video. The only cost would be a little time, nothing more.

Would be interesting to see a build of this quality running on linux! The linux kernel still supports 32bit cpus too!

Андрюха, отличное видео👍 Хорошо переснял видео Мурка с 631 процом и перевел проблему про процессорные инструкции от рускоговорящих ютуберов👍

seeing this mobo brought me back to middle school. one of my very first computer builds was with a p5q pro with a q6700

I got what i wanted. An Enderman video with some MJDlike spice!

You're literally the best tech person i ever saw in the internet stay strong and disfruit russia! ❤

Great video...Greetings from Serbia...All the best.... Супер видео...Поздрав из Србије...Све најбоље....🙂🙂🙂

the P5Q looks insane with all that usb 2.0 and network connectivity. built in NIC or switch or both . :0 not to mention the beefy heat sinks on the power delivery and chipset.

Спасибо за видео!!! А вообще это реально интересная тема сможет ли старый процессор потянуть Виндоус.

I will be doing exactly the same thing on my old office PC from 2012 with Celeron Dual-Core and 4Gb or RAM, but with a SSD drive to speed up the operation. I hope I succeed :-) I also agree with Windows 11 actually running better on slower PCs than Windows 10. I got my Proxmox server with i5 processor and 2 installations for Windows 10 and Windows 11 side by side, sometimes even running together and the GUI of Windows 11 runs much faster than that of Windows 10. The only difference is RAM usages. Windows 10 rarely uses 3Gb or RAM. Most of the time the memory charts in Proxmox show it uses 2Gb, so I gave the VM 4Gb of RAM for Windows 10. Windows 11 uses 1gb more RAM. It stay around 3GB most of the time sometimes going to 4Gb, so I had to give the VM 5Gb. Windows 11 in VM runs so smoothly, it is hard to believe. I noticed that with 22H2 update Microsoft lowered the hardware requirements for running Windows 10 and Windows 11. Also Windows folder is much smaller than that of Windows 7. Windows 10/11 with 22H2 freshly installed is around 14Gb, while Windows 7 was 17 Gb. So, they did slim down the OS. Now if you have 10 year old PC, you can run Windows 11 better than Windows 7 on them.

This was a really neat build. Would be fun to run cinebench or something like that in an attempt to get the worst score. You could even be the only one with that processor who runs the newer versions at all.

you are an outstanding computer scientist

Grandma's pc be like:

ah yes, limbo music

Молодец Андрей, хорошей видео, продолжай...

A darn shame Windows 11 64 Bit only. Wished they had Windows 11 X86 version too. A great video. Thanks for sharing!

this video is pure evil for Microsoft

hi! Great video, Bro. I thought that i would watch this while I ate supper. But I was watching your video so hard that my food got cold, lol. Ordinarily I don`t watch these antique hardware type videos, but your title got my attention as I was thinking of doing a Win 11 force install on my hp laptop. Life does have coincidences, I guess. Win 11 complains that the CPU is not supported. It is an AMD Ryzen 3 2200U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx. Processor speed 2500 MHz. 8GB RAM (2X4). 2400 MHz speed, 128 GB SSD. I would have been more impressed with your video if you had used a slower CPU. I`m blown away that you found a CPU with specs that good. The base speed of the CPU in my intel i9-10900k is 3.7 GHZ. I run it OC to 5.0 -5.10 GHz. Of course, all of these specs blow away my laptop. I think that you are the only person on this planet that has an old geezer Pentium 4 with a CPU that fast. I did like the way you went into the bios to delete those checks, that was great. What sped was this RAM? It didn't say on the sticks, and I can`t remember the trick of how to decipher the speed using the numbers on the stick. How did you get so lucky to have an actual power button on the mother board? I have never seen that before. You must have put that on there? Another question, please, would my keyboard or my mouse be faster if I plugged them into the HDMI ports on my graphics card, instead of on the front panel (mother board)? It`s for my EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC. Come and play Medal of Honor with me? Free game download at moh.tk I play multiplayer every day. Liked and subscribed. I have a small YT channel also, with my PC build on there. I have 60 subscribers wooohhooo! lol! :)

Just for quoting emiya you earned a sub.

как тебя привело к такому эксперименту с пеньком 4 и шиндовс 11?

I think you could have used Audit mode to disable windows Defender and Inspectre to turn off the Meltdown mitigation, giving extra juice to your build, also you could use a core2quad to make a kicker build

I grew up around a pentium 4 and this is so nostalgic and cool

Было интересно, спасибо

Enderman: explaining things to viewers Windows 11: *decides to crash* 😂😂 38:22
