NTDev has achieved the remarkable feat of running Windows 11 on a mere 184 MB of RAM. This impressive feat, accomplished through modifications like Tiny11, showcases the potential of squeezing more out of limited resources.
Sometimes less is more. That seems to be the guiding philosophy of NTDev, a developer that we've previously seen reducing Windows installations to a ridiculously small size. Now, the dev has managed to get Windows 11 working on a miniscule amount of system memory, too.that they've managed to get Windows 11 running on less than 200 MB of RAM .
They say:'Somehow I managed to make Windows 11 (through tiny11 and all that stuff, of course) run on just 184MB of RAM, which even though it's in Safe Mode I still think it's absolutely insane, and possibly a record.' It's amazing what you can do even with such a'closed' system as Windows.Although it's not officially supported, recent Tiny11 builds should allow you to receive Windows updates—though nothing's guaranteed. And some of what it gets rid of can cause problems, if you're not careful. For instance, not having Edge installed could potentially cause problems with some widgets that rely on running Edge scripts. Such Edge scripts might be especially important for the latest Windows AI features, too, given Copilot essentially uses embedded Edge scripts via. Then again, I'm sure some users would consider getting rid of (or breaking) these AI features a benefit of the modified install.184 MB is frighteningly little RAM, though, and I can't help but wonder just how usable Windows is when using such a low amount of memory.
