As I write this post, I am testing yet another Windows 11 Pro 23H2 install on an OLD PC.
This is a DELL Optiplex 780 with an Intel E8400 CPU
Instruction set x86-64 (64 bit)
ISA extensions MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE 4.1 Release date Q1/2008
Miraculously, it's working fine! Decent web browsing on only 4GB ram and a 1TB SATA drive.
Obviously because of the SSE4.1 (and not SSE 4.2) on the CPU, it's limited to Windows 11 Pro 23H2 ONLY (and not 24H2 or 25H2).
Pretty decent to be able to have a useful web browser and YouTube watching PC that is this old with a decent semi-current OS!
I'm wondering if anyone else has any old PC successful Windows 11 working installs?
Curious how old and with what specifications (cpu, ram, video, hdd, etc)
Anyone care to share?
Device name DESKTOP
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz 2.99 GHz
Installed RAM 4.00 GB (3.87 GB usable)
Product ID 00330-80000-00000-AA378
