Windows 11 runs on PC with ancient single-core Intel Pentium 4 CPU

Windows 11 may have system requirements which have caused controversy by ruling out even relatively modern PCs, but the OS can in fact run on a computer powered by a single-core Intel Pentium 4 (Cedar Mill) processor that’s 15 years old.

This rather startling feat was achieved by ‘Carlos SM’ who tweeted about it and then shared a video to show how the ancient system runs, as spotted by PC Mag.
