A blogger under the pseudonym NTDEV managed to run Windows 7 on a computer with a low-performance processor. Enthusiast said he was trying to run the popular version of Windows on the world’s “weakest” computer. The author’s computer was equipped with a Pentium-S processor with a clock frequency of 5 megahertz and 128 megabytes of RAM. Blogger successfully started Windows 7 on the computer, although it took almost half an hour to fully boot the system.

According to official information from Microsoft, to run Windows 7 you need a computer with a frequency of at least 1000 megahertz, that is, with a processor 200 times more than an NTDEV computer. Also, the operating system (OS) requires at least 1 gigabyte of RAM and 16 gigabytes of onboard memory. According to Blogger, it booted the system using 1 gigabyte of free disk space and 70 megabytes of RAM.

During the show, the enthusiast launched built-in Windows 7 programs such as Notepad. The author admitted that he had to use a paging file during startup.
