Less than 5% of the official required memory limit of 176MB successfully run the Win11 system.

CTOnews.com July 12 news, developer NTDev in the process of promoting the Tiny11 project, with the pursuit of geeks, constantly explore the operating threshold of the Win11 system.

NTDev recently released an update, indicating that the Win11 system has been successfully started on a device with only 176MB memory and can still operate normally after entering the desktop.

CTOnews.com Note: Microsoft's official memory requirements for Win11 systems are 4GB and larger, while 176MB is less than 5% of the official requirement.

In order to run on 176MB memory, NTDev has minimized the components and drivers of Win11 and disabled a large number of services.

Xeno, a Windows Insider developer, says that if you don't have a graphical interface, you only need 96MB to run Win11 in plain text, but he also says it doesn't make much sense.
