Concept / Design Windows 10 (64bit) on 156MB of RAM

Based on Windows 10 LTSC 2021 64-bit. I did manage 146MB but that required not having sound/bluetooth/firewall etc at all. This one can do pretty much whatever regular windows 10 can do (except windows store). UWP apps are work-in-progress.

There is apparently a fandom in virtual machine software. Kinda like the whole "Intel vs. AMD" thing. Simply ignore it.

I unintentionally did this with a regular win 10.

Me n my friend were playing sky factory 3 modpack for minecraft. That modpack had an issue... memory leaks.after about 2 hours of hosting the server and playing i was sitting at 7.8gb out of 8. After i shut everything down windows was hovering at 150mbs of ram usage. All animations everything...

Interesting. Do you have any screenshots of anything, or list of what you disabled?

It was a couple of years back, i didnt disable anything. I just forced windows into it by the memory leaking modpack eating everything lol

Can't do it at 156MB. Chrome needs around 200MB to open (210MB here so I don't have to wait for ages). You won't be able to do anything though. I did install Adblock and DarkReader so those might be slowing it down, but I wouldn't use chrome without them anyway.

Windows Enterprise LTSC is a special variant of Windows Enterprise with a longer support cycle that does not receive any feature updates. LTSC also has reduced functionality as it is typically based on an older version of Windows and does not have all the same preinstalled software and tools as regular editions of Windows. This variant is intended for special use cases such as medical equipment, point of sales machines, electronic signs, and other single-function devices. It is not intended for regular use.

I like how it's made entirely to convince people not to use the version of Windows lol.
