It does make me wonder what would happen if I attempted to install Windows 10 on my still-working Celeron 1GHz system with its whopping 416MB of SDR RAM.

Practically a luxurious excess! But, I imagine there'd be other issues.

"So why go through all the trouble? "

Why not. Years back people loved doing stuff like this and still do.

That 1Ghz Celeron system would need a HDD/SSD on a SATA port using AHCI mode to use Windows 10.

Yikes, yeah, guess that's not happening!

You can use something like an Adaptec 2940 PCI card with SCSI drive to get around that.

I get doing something like this 'just because you can' but it's a completely pointless endeavor from a usability standpoint. Even if you CAN open anything, it's already so deep on page file that the experience will be horrible. In truth, Win 10 on 2GB of RAM is a tempt of your patience. This is nothing more than a "Stuart: Look what I can do".

There is actually a really good YouTube video of a fellow doing this exact same thing. Can't recall what he got down to, but I played along with him and it was crazy how unresponsive and terrible the experience gets as you go well below what the system needs to operate properly.

So my running it with a usable desktop at 168mb RAM must be underwhelming......
