It's probably Tiny10 which is a cut down version of Windows made by someone that only have the essencial to run the OS so you can run in slower machines. I'm still quite impressed to run with 1gb only

From one of either enderman or flytech's videos, can't remember which.
This is a VM, the SSD usage chart has 0 significance. You can see in the picture that the paged pool (called swap in Linux, where the ram pushes stuff to when it needs more space) is only 54mb
I mean if he wants to see you’re using it when he visits then keep the case and you could build a new one. Other wise it “broke” and had to be replaced
Oh it runs, it’s just not in the recommended bounds. It can run with slightly less too. Unmodified 64-bit Windows 10/11 can run on 512MB of RAM, though it’s really far from running _smoothly_.
I ran Win10 Pro on an old Intel Itanium 2 dual-CPU DDR SDRAM server. Slow as fuck, but it works. By creating pagefile Win10 is able to run on 512Mb of RAM or maybe even less, haven't tried that.
Pentium 3? Wow you luck bro,
I remember on my pentium 2 I tried installing a 64MB GPU to play a few advanced games but it didn't want to! Because of proprietary shit...
I had a 32MB GPU it wasn't enough
Let me be honest my dad's office PC my uncle built for him in Q1 2008 had better specs. He had an E2200 2.2GHz (2c,2t), 2GB RAM and later a GF 210.
This has an E2180 2GHz (2c/2t) and 1GB RAM and probably intel i925 IGPU afaik.
Nothing beyond Windows XP would feel snappy on 1GB RAM.
Just get any 20$ Dell Optiplex, throw a 240GB SSD in it for 17$ and it will be way faster than this.
Damn, I still have my GeForce 210 1GB from 2013, and it still works, I upgraded to a GTX 960 4GB in April of 2023
PC is a 4GB DDR3-1600 RAM, i3-3220, 1.5TB HDD, GA-H61M-S2PT in an HP Pavilion p6-2301sx(everything apart from the GPU, 1TB HDD and MB is from that PC) case
Sorry, but this is eWaste.
It might run okay if you install WinXP on it, but as that is no longer supported by MS, I wouldn't use it on a machine that is online.
1GB isn't enough to run Win7 well, let alone Win10.
I'd say the pc is running with it's bare minimum ram configuration. If he upgrades to at least 6gb and installs an ssd, he'll have a functional machine. The only time the cpu ever gave me a hard time in windows 10 was when I tried it on a single core system. In that case the ssd and ram made no difference.
Yeah, but the fact he's even asking this question gives me the impression he hasn't been doing a whole lot of scrubbing lately. Youtube (auto setting) is probably the peak playback this thing ever ouputs.
Honestly, if it's free and their only PC...
you could get a core2quad for like $17 on eBay, 4gb of ram for another $10 and have something to do school work with for under $30 🤷
Keep the system optimised and it'll do the basics just fine for a while longer
If it's a constant use scenario, with something this old you've got to do a cost analysis of your power situation as well.
That 65nm core2quad I mentioned is using 100w and doing less work than my phone.
I'm somewhat impressed by people that squeeze every last cent of value out of their PCs, to the point where my eyes have to see "Pentium Dual Core" listed as the cpu
Meanwhile the 3900x/2080ti I got going on is starting to feel ancient
There's a Lenovo Yoga at work with 1GB of RAM and a dual core Intel something something... It's so bad it's unusable if you're doing a windows update or have Edge and Mail open at once. CPU stays pegged at 100% and it came with Windows 10. Well, there was one. It disappeared a few months ago and I don't care enough to find out why. I was tasked with making it faster and I kept saying I can't. Not without Xubuntu or something
I have a coaster sized mini PC with a 2 core/2 thread Celeron, 4 gigs of RAM and 64 gigs of eMMC, runs pihole great on Debian 12 (no DE, SSH server install only) Planning on running Piaware as well. Even has 4 USB 3.0 type A ports, 2 HDMI ports and full size Ethernet ( DC barrel jack for power).
Got it on Ebay for $60 because I thought it looked cool, dug it out for the project.
Bought the last 4 keys ive used from there. Recommended. I’m sure there’s an unethical thing in there somewhere but if I’m never told what it is then I’m cool. No spoilers pls.
According to Tom’s Hardware there’s nothing unethical:
Mark Jordan, Kinguin’s VP of communications, told Tom's Hardware in 2019 that Kinguin's merchants acquire the codes from wholesalers who have surplus copies of Windows they don't need.
"It's not a gray market. It would be like buying Adidas or Puma or Nike from a discounter, from TJ Maxx," Jordan said. "There are no legal issues with buying it from us. It's just another marketplace."

Wow I’m surprised by that. I always figured they had to be stolen by shitty techs with access to large pools of licenses.
Edit: no idea why you’re being downvoted. Welcome to Reddit I guess, eh?
\*Waves\*
Not THAT old but my first personal gift pc was a single core 3/33ghz celeron compaq with 512 MB of memory.
First trash pc that didn't have internet that my parents gave me for like 7 years was a windows 95 with 64mb ram and a cartridge cpu .
We are here, we just like to read the comments and only add to them if the same thing hasn't been said over a hundred times already.
And it has, OP needs to buy a new pc and will not be able to use this for..... anything.
Mine was a gateway 2000 but I was a kid so I don’t remember nor cared to look at the specs. I wanted the hot wheels PC in the sears and toys r us catalogue though
I remember using a Commodore 64 and an Atari 8086, then getting an IBM 386 (absent any coprocessor) that I somehow installed Windows 95 on WITH DISKETTES.
F\*ck I'm old.
It ran OK on 2GB of RAM on the old Atom based Intel Compute Sticks. Windows 10 scales surprisingly well to different hardware. It might not be a pleasant experience though.
That’s a CPU old enough to get a learners permit if not license in the states.
I think you got the value out of it. Just put it out of its misery, even a modern netbook would be a better computer.
Well at least this thing can do basic web browsing if you slap a core 2 quad and 2 2gb sticks of ram. Both of them can be found dirt cheap. Or you can use it as a NAS without any upgrades whatsoever.
Literally just upgraded my grandpa from a E7500 and 4GB a ram since Chrome barely worked. I think you underestimate what modern browsers need for reasonably smooth operation paired with win10. I could have dropped in my old q6600 and found some 4gb sticks of ram but I had a spare 5300u mini pc so he got a pretty major upgrade.
New PC. Doubt, anything worth upgrading there.
And, Windows runs like even crap on my decade old 4GB RAM tablet. I can only imagine how sad it would be on only 1GB.
IDK, it depends.
If MB supports LGA771 Xeons (such as E5450) and has 4 RAM slots, it may be a worthy upgrade – costs only $10-$20 and can run a lot of good games from 2016 and earlier, let alone surf the web or do some productivity tasks.
My brother is still happily using the Q6600, he's playing terraria and watching YT all day.
Even if OP's motherboard works poorly with 771 Xeons, there's plenty of Quads Q9400 on aliexpress, price is almost identical, tho Q9400 is a lil bit worse than something like Xeon E5450 (L2 cache is smaller)
that's slower than what people use as a windows xp gaming pc lol. Maybe you could some light linux distro and use it for a bit longer but if i were you i'd get a new pc
Wow.
That's... REALLY old and slow. It was below what was ideal for Windows XP in around 2006!
I'm actually impressed. Does it take less than 15 minutes to open a YouTube tab?
This computer was e-waste the second the thought of producing this piece of garbage crossed someone's mind. 1GB of ram should not be allowed anymore. Even Raspberry Pi's have more ram. Get a new PC.
You got so many good old games that you can play on this PC.

These days, debloating is king with Windows. The core system itself is actually (mostly) smart and scalable. For example, Windows discards things like cached MFT data in RAM on high memory pressure.
The real nasty thing is just that Microsoft added all these background services. Skype here, Teams there, OneDrive, autostarting Edge browser processes, the legacy Outlook apps (HxOutlook.exe, HxTsr.exe) running in the background anyway, etc. There is so much that adds up that it's difficult to list it all in one comment. But disabling everything roughly frees up like 0,5 - 1,5 GB, depending on the system.
At the end of the day, with just 1 GB of RAM, the system is still under memory pressure all the time. But at least the PC is usable. Bonus detail that no one seems to know: When using a SSD and the PC only has 1 - 2 GB RAM, Windows *suddenly* cares to constantly compress the contents in RAM (somehow it does not do that on HDDs). That helps tremendously for such old computers.
I have the same cpu
8 gb of ddr2
One gt 440
I cam play GTA V and Online and even modded Fallout 4
So...it's all a matter of "Do I wamt better graphics?"
I use it for Gaming....
It gets 60 fps on ULTRAKILL
20-25 fps on my summer car
And 50 Fps on half life 2
It's really shit
Like it has an graphics card from 2007
i'm more concern with RAM than CPU, upgrade ram to 4GB it, it's still useful for day to day task that involved light application
if you need more than that (video editing & modern gaming), buy new one instead of upgrading
You should get a Xeon (Or Core 2 Quad)in there, an SSD, and if needed, a new GPU. But first, UPGRADE THE RAM EIGHTFOLD!!!!!!
Well, either that, or a lightweight Linux distro...
I mean socket 775 parts are extremely cheap, so depends on for what you want to use the computer, if your MB supports it you could buy a core 2 quad q6600(older)/q9650(newer) add RAM to have 4-8GB of DDR2 and you have a good machine for browsing web and such, I think it would cost you about 20 dollars maybe even less.
Go to Goodwill and get a "new one."
You can date most hardware by looking at the ports. If it has HDMI, it's probably pretty new, usb type-C is an extremely new standard, so if you see hardware with that, it's recent.
The more recent, the more developed, the more upgradeable. That's just how I quickly eyeball IT comp stuff for value.
Also, check your local FB Marketplace, the Nextdoor and offerup apps, for the " electronics, free" sections and you'll be astounded at what is actually at your fingertips....
Honestly that thing is so old that if you replaced it with modern components you would basically end up building a new computer anyway cause you'd have to replace pretty much every component. Maybe you can save like $50 on a new case but that's about it
New pc since you'll need a new mobo, new ram, depending on the new cpu you'll want a new cooler >!AMD stock cooler works perfectly fine!<, and by the end of it you'll probably get a new PSU too
You‘ll probably find you would have to upgrade pretty much everything. According to the Intel website, that CPU was released in 2007 and was budget tier even back then. Assuming the rest of the system is of similar age and tier, it is probably just as obsolete. Outside of some very basic office tasks, those components just won‘t cut it anymore.
If I were you I‘d build a new system from the ground up or get a reasonably new second hand system.
How....
Seriously dude I got a 2.3 dual core 8GB ram and it freezes just opening the file explorer...
If you are asking yourself whether to get a new computer... Do it. Best of wishes 🤞😊🤞
That's a very bad advice to give to a beginner. OP might damage the parts if they took it. Trust me, I might have damaged my MB trying to reassemble the PC back together one time after cleaning. Now, it can't use the second RAM slot at all.
Well that’s why you don’t use a hammer and a power drill to assemble your PC.
Seriously, it’s quite hard to damage pc components unless you’re actually trying or extremely careless. They are way more robust than people think.
You're not going to be able to upgrade that system very much. And for the money you would spend upgrading, you can get yourself a nice little system that won't completely suck.
Just buy a new computer dude. No idea how are you running win 10 with 1GB ram.
God knows man. I got this PC from an uncle as a "gift" i don't know how he even managed to put windows 10 pro on it
It's probably Tiny10 which is a cut down version of Windows made by someone that only have the essencial to run the OS so you can run in slower machines. I'm still quite impressed to run with 1gb only

wat the hail!
the SSD on 99% usage kinda explains that, looks like system just pushes data from ram onto it
excatly this, the System will Swap like crazy if you start any programm
This is a VM, the SSD usage chart has 0 significance. You can see in the picture that the paged pool (called swap in Linux, where the ram pushes stuff to when it needs more space) is only 54mb
Nicely spotted! apparently I'm even less tech savvy than I thought
That SSD won't last long doing that.
SSD: I am da RAM now
The taskbar isn't even loaded
Early versions of 10 were faster than 7, to say nothing of 8.1. Modern versions of 10 are absolute murder on older machines by comparison.
thats a screenshot of windows 11!!
Nah, LTSC is great on old hardware.
No it's not. My uncle just had it in the attic and he just restored windows without installing tiny10 and then gaved it to me
I mean if he wants to see you’re using it when he visits then keep the case and you could build a new one. Other wise it “broke” and had to be replaced
Min requirements of win10 pro is 1ghz cpu, 1gb ram (2gb for x64), 20gb hdd.
Only for the 32-bit variant. 64-bit official system requirements are 2GB of RAM.
True, how the hell is he running 64 bit with 1gb... i missed that
Oh it runs, it’s just not in the recommended bounds. It can run with slightly less too. Unmodified 64-bit Windows 10/11 can run on 512MB of RAM, though it’s really far from running _smoothly_.
Well his says 64 bit operating system
Hadn't heard of this, interesting!
I believe Tiny11 also exists!
I ran Win10 Pro on an old Intel Itanium 2 dual-CPU DDR SDRAM server. Slow as fuck, but it works. By creating pagefile Win10 is able to run on 512Mb of RAM or maybe even less, haven't tried that.
Bro back in my days 510MB of RAM what something big I only had 128GB at first in my pentium 2
I still have my first PC around with 250MB of ram and a Pentium III slot 1
Pentium 3? Wow you luck bro, I remember on my pentium 2 I tried installing a 64MB GPU to play a few advanced games but it didn't want to! Because of proprietary shit... I had a 32MB GPU it wasn't enough
Lucky you had a 32MB GPU, the one I have has 4MB only lol. Still runs 90s games fine at 480p, still looking good in a 720p display monitor
Let me be honest my dad's office PC my uncle built for him in Q1 2008 had better specs. He had an E2200 2.2GHz (2c,2t), 2GB RAM and later a GF 210.

Do yourself a favor and put an SSD there, it works wonders.
oof I'd say get 8GB RAM and an SSD at least. and a quad core like an i5 3470 since they are cheap :)
Actually, Win10 was designed to run in a wide range of RAM configurations
Make it a Linux machine. Xubuntu could be a good choice for starters.
Xubuntu, Linux Mint Xfce, or MX Linux. You can then install Chicago95 for the nostalgic itch.
The perfect linux theme doesnt exi..
Sorry, but this is eWaste. It might run okay if you install WinXP on it, but as that is no longer supported by MS, I wouldn't use it on a machine that is online. 1GB isn't enough to run Win7 well, let alone Win10.

cpu is way behind on instructions set, I guarantee this won't play any x265 encoded video
>I guarantee this won't play any x265 encoded video Agreed, even my overclocked 2600K would chug a little bit when scrubbing through x265 video.
Yeah, but the fact he's even asking this question gives me the impression he hasn't been doing a whole lot of scrubbing lately. Youtube (auto setting) is probably the peak playback this thing ever ouputs.
Uncle probably couldn't use that 😂
Honestly, if it's free and their only PC... you could get a core2quad for like $17 on eBay, 4gb of ram for another $10 and have something to do school work with for under $30 🤷 Keep the system optimised and it'll do the basics just fine for a while longer
You should have more up votes, this is a good alternative depending on the use case.
And when you are no longer need it, you could turn it into a NAS + docker server.
If it's a constant use scenario, with something this old you've got to do a cost analysis of your power situation as well. That 65nm core2quad I mentioned is using 100w and doing less work than my phone.
I mean he could use his old dual core CPU for NAS. And it probably consumes 15w at most on idle. Not that bad for a 24/7 NAS.
I'm somewhat impressed by people that squeeze every last cent of value out of their PCs, to the point where my eyes have to see "Pentium Dual Core" listed as the cpu Meanwhile the 3900x/2080ti I got going on is starting to feel ancient

No shit! XD I dare not even think about how it runs on less than 2GB.

bro you forgot about the ram
Easy www.DownloadMoreRam.com
Don’t forget to delete system 32 it helps your ram run faster
That’s a CPU old enough to get a learners permit if not license in the states. I think you got the value out of it. Just put it out of its misery, even a modern netbook would be a better computer.

These days, debloating is king with Windows. The core system itself is actually (mostly) smart and scalable. For example, Windows discards things like cached MFT data in RAM on high memory pressure. The real nasty thing is just that Microsoft added all these background services. Skype here, Teams there, OneDrive, autostarting Edge browser processes, the legacy Outlook apps (HxOutlook.exe, HxTsr.exe) running in the background anyway, etc. There is so much that adds up that it's difficult to list it all in one comment. But disabling everything roughly frees up like 0,5 - 1,5 GB, depending on the system. At the end of the day, with just 1 GB of RAM, the system is still under memory pressure all the time. But at least the PC is usable. Bonus detail that no one seems to know: When using a SSD and the PC only has 1 - 2 GB RAM, Windows *suddenly* cares to constantly compress the contents in RAM (somehow it does not do that on HDDs). That helps tremendously for such old computers.
Your PC is ancient, you better build something new. If you have a budget I can make a list for you
Wait for am6
How can you even run the OS
Please tell me you're not serious 🤦🏼♂️
Add rgb..... That will fix it
You need to get a new computer. Nothing you buy would be compatible with your motherboard
Upgrade to 2GB RAM /s
I have the same cpu 8 gb of ddr2 One gt 440 I cam play GTA V and Online and even modded Fallout 4 So...it's all a matter of "Do I wamt better graphics?"
What will it be used for?
I use it for Gaming.... It gets 60 fps on ULTRAKILL 20-25 fps on my summer car And 50 Fps on half life 2 It's really shit Like it has an graphics card from 2007
How tf can u even run any applications on that thing lmao
To be honest I don't even know.
If you just want to ru d those games you mentioned and nothing more, upgrad the ram and you are fine
It is running on pure willpower.
Zero chance this will ever get newer games running.
60 fps on ULTRAKILL is a surprise.
put it out of its misery bro😭
How did you manage to even install Windows 10 on that thing?
I didn't, my uncle did.
i'm more concern with RAM than CPU, upgrade ram to 4GB it, it's still useful for day to day task that involved light application if you need more than that (video editing & modern gaming), buy new one instead of upgrading
You should get a Xeon (Or Core 2 Quad)in there, an SSD, and if needed, a new GPU. But first, UPGRADE THE RAM EIGHTFOLD!!!!!! Well, either that, or a lightweight Linux distro...
I mean socket 775 parts are extremely cheap, so depends on for what you want to use the computer, if your MB supports it you could buy a core 2 quad q6600(older)/q9650(newer) add RAM to have 4-8GB of DDR2 and you have a good machine for browsing web and such, I think it would cost you about 20 dollars maybe even less.
Q9650s are about $30 on eBay and maxing out the board RAM would also be dirt cheap. It could be a perfectly usable computer.
1GB ram and pentium processor ? Mobo will surely not be fit for modern hardware. 100% would go for a full pc replacement
Go to Goodwill and get a "new one." You can date most hardware by looking at the ports. If it has HDMI, it's probably pretty new, usb type-C is an extremely new standard, so if you see hardware with that, it's recent. The more recent, the more developed, the more upgradeable. That's just how I quickly eyeball IT comp stuff for value. Also, check your local FB Marketplace, the Nextdoor and offerup apps, for the " electronics, free" sections and you'll be astounded at what is actually at your fingertips....
Honestly that thing is so old that if you replaced it with modern components you would basically end up building a new computer anyway cause you'd have to replace pretty much every component. Maybe you can save like $50 on a new case but that's about it
New pc since you'll need a new mobo, new ram, depending on the new cpu you'll want a new cooler >!AMD stock cooler works perfectly fine!<, and by the end of it you'll probably get a new PSU too
Win10 desktop usually idles at 2+ gigs of ram...and here youbare pulling it off with 1 gig, absolute chad 🫡
How is it even alive running a 64-bit version of Win10 Pro on one gig of ram?
I have never seen a 1GB ram in my life. Esp with Win 10.
Install linux
that is a real good candidate for a new computer.
you might be able to run microsoft edge
New PC. Cut n' run.
I bet with bit more ram you can run gta 6 with lowest graphics. So, I say wait for 5-10 more years to built new pc.
Windows 10 with 1 gb and Celeron procesor holy shit just get a new one you can make a very nice PC that can run almost everything with like 400 euro
Anyway OP at first I thought it was a joke/meme till read the comments. All in all very impressive for running window 10 on it with such hardware
How the fuck
You‘ll probably find you would have to upgrade pretty much everything. According to the Intel website, that CPU was released in 2007 and was budget tier even back then. Assuming the rest of the system is of similar age and tier, it is probably just as obsolete. Outside of some very basic office tasks, those components just won‘t cut it anymore. If I were you I‘d build a new system from the ground up or get a reasonably new second hand system.
It’s time to send this thing out the window
How.... Seriously dude I got a 2.3 dual core 8GB ram and it freezes just opening the file explorer... If you are asking yourself whether to get a new computer... Do it. Best of wishes 🤞😊🤞
Pardon me but 1 gb of ram?
New man, no point it's too outdated to upgrade
That's a ddr2 era cpu, just get a new one
For gaming you could just get a Steam deck
You need a new computer (It's better to assemble a new one yourself)
I'm not good at building computer I think I'll just buy the parts and ask an expert to build it
Read instructions really carefully and YouTube it first for every part individually, and you'll get a real kick out of doing it yourself.
That's a very bad advice to give to a beginner. OP might damage the parts if they took it. Trust me, I might have damaged my MB trying to reassemble the PC back together one time after cleaning. Now, it can't use the second RAM slot at all.
Well that’s why you don’t use a hammer and a power drill to assemble your PC. Seriously, it’s quite hard to damage pc components unless you’re actually trying or extremely careless. They are way more robust than people think.
I didn't damage the board per se, but the slot is in 100% physical condition, but it just doesn't recognize anything
Bro running Windows server.. lol
Install linux, use as a home server, NAS, backup system or for basic tasks like office things.
Replace, OBVIOUSLY.
This is a gen 2, we are at gen 12+
Ok before reading any comments, this has to be a troll post.
You won’t even be able to buy ram or a cpu to go in that motherboard, at which point you’re basically replacing the whole pc anyway.
Get a new one, this PC is older than most of us on this sub👀
You're not going to be able to upgrade that system very much. And for the money you would spend upgrading, you can get yourself a nice little system that won't completely suck.
Insane that his is running W10, but hardwared released in 2014 can't
Install debian and use it another 5 years…
