  • Despite April Fools' Day, today's video will try to answer one question: Can Windows 10 run on a Pentium 4 from the Windows XP era of computing? Watch to find out! For those interested, the computer I used was a Dell Dimension 8400, which was designed for Windows XP.

When I put Windows 10 Home on a 32GB flash drive and booted from it, It got to the windows logo and restarted/bootloop before it could even reach the spinning icon.

    The Dell Dimension 8400 was from between 2004 and 2005. It had a socket 775 which was the newer socket for the Pentium 4. Windows 10 can run on a socket 775 processor but not on a socket 478 processor. Windows 8 and Windows 10 require NX on the processor while Windows 7 or earlier doesn't.

  • @igtampe
    @igtampe Před 8 lety +6

    I work with several Pentium 4 computers. Technically, as long as it's a P4 HT 2.0ghz+ and more than 2 GB of RAM it should work. However, an older P4 could have trouble. I have a few P4 computers that could not even boot to Ubuntu. Still, If your computer is older than 2004-ish, and you can add a bit more RAM, you should be able to get it to run at least Windows 7. Windows 8.1 and later use a few modern components that aren't common at this era and are not easy to add (TPM for example). Win10 also uses RAM compressed caching which does make it need more than 2 gb, though the requirements say so.
    Good luck to any person who tries to upgrade!

    If you are working for Windows 10 on a Pentium 4, you have to use a Prescott 500 seies with J suffix or 600 series or extreme edition (And of course the BIOS has to support NX as well). Things like Dell OptiPlex GX280 will work with Windows 10 after a processor upgrade to J and GPU upgrade. Things like OptiPlex GX520 will work with Windows 10 x86 right out of box as long as you have enough RAM.

    i am at 1:10, honestly a p4 should do fine on windows 10 if you pump it full of memory, the 4 gig (well, quite a bit less than 4 gig usable) limit should be plenty and the core itself is actually pretty strong. it's hyperthreaded so it should do alright if you treat it like a phone. should be able to pass stuff off to the gpu ok for very light gaming if you toss a gpu in (if it even has decent options though).

I couldn't get it to boot Windows 7. I couldn't get it to boot Windows 8/8.1. I couldn't get it to boot windows 10... It was all something about "ACPI compliance" or at least that's what Windows 10 returned every other operating system just blue screened. I ran Windows XP until 2016. My G-Force 7300 LE and Pentium 4 would have held up okay-ish I mean they would be able to do desktop things and the kicker about my motherboard is that it only supported Pentium D architecture as it was one of the early 2000s LGA boards. Had I seen this tutorial I would definitely have kept that system running....

Both of the machines are Pentium 4, the GX260 a 2.6Ghz and the GX280 2.8Ghz. I luckilly got it installed on the GX280 and then found out it needed a newer video card. I had a old PNY Geforce 210 video card so I installed it and it fixed the video driver issue. All other hardware worked but were old buggy Microsoft drivers. If you want Windows 10 to run on your Pentium 4 machine and it installs, be prepared to run into driver problems.

    I'm so glad I just found your video. I have been running a clean install of Windows 10 32-bit on my Dell Dimension 8400 for a few weeks. My problem is that I can't shut it down without the Blue Screen restart loop. It seems to be caused by the 128mb PCI Express x16 ATI Radeon X300 SE graphics card and the Vista driver does not work. I'm hoping you can suggest a Windows 10 compatible and inexpensive card that will work in the 8400. It won't be used for gaming. I need it as a backup before I upgrade my Dell Inspiron 7537 laptop. My specs are Pentium 4 w/HT, 3GHz 800 FSB. It has 3 GB RAM, 1TB SATA. It is a Prescott 630, Intel EM64T, PAE, NX, SSE, etc. (Everything except Virtualization). I initially planned to just run Windows 8.1 until I happened to get the offer for Windows 10 free upgrade. It runs great and Cortana is even working with 2 out of 5 of my 5.1 surround sound speaker system with subwoofer. Unfortunately, the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card has no driver either. But my floppy drive works. At the time, I could afford the top of the line, but now I have to live with what I have now. Any suggestions from you or your viewers would be greatly appreciated! Sorry for the long post, but I just can't seem to get anywhere with my searches and Windows 10 is pushing the install on my laptop and Dell drivers suck even more than their support. Hopefully, this will help anyone who has a Prescott 6XXX!

    My family's old pentium 4 2.66ghz machine with socket 478 from 2002 unfortunately cannot run anything above windows 7 because of the nx bit requirement. It also doesn't support sse3 which means chrome 88 is the last version that will run on it. Aero is enabled because of an ati radeon 9550 graphics card, and at least it installs windows 7, but even then it doesn't support booting from usb

  • @comicsanz97
    @comicsanz97 Před 4 lety +2

    That PC won't boot Windows 10 because it doesn't have CPU features like PAE and NX. These are needed since Windows 8. I think some Windows 8 builds supported 478 CPUs.

    @torgeirskovholt4320 Před 7 lety +1

    The reason it doesn't work is because how to CPU manages memory locations and the registers
    in the CPU. In reality it should've worked, because the P4 is based on the x86 architecture from Intel (32 bit). Maybe they use the newer architecture x86_64, but they support 32 bit locations (32-bit vars). I don't know.

    I agree with thecomputerman100, socket 775 motherboards will work but that is a CPU CLASS and chipset class issue that kept windows 10 from working. I am actually surprised Windows 7 pro worked! But hey,it is only software. It can be tweaked and fooled. Just check out nLite and vLite and now NTLITE software. It allows customizing Windows CDs to boot unattended and even to over come some of those HARDWARE limits!

HOWEVER, there are several YT videos of people using some basic programs to patch boot files, and using gimagex and such, to install W8, 8.1, 10TP (not sure about 10 final), thanks for reading!

      sorry lol was more of an internal question, i have an old ultra small form factor dell p4 1gb ram, i was watching your video hoping it was 1gb of ram you had just so id get an idea of its performance. since xp is fast becoming obsolete now im going to need to bite the bullet anyway. if i may offer some constructive criticism or advice and its just my opinion/preference, for basic usage i would have loved to have seen youtube and perhaps some browsing or somehing at the same time to get an idea of real world performance. but anyway, i cant stress enough how great youtube is for videos like this, its important i think that people know it helps, and yours did so thanks again. I may actually come back when i test it and post here incase it helps anyone.

      sounds good,i still think its a really nice OS, i would be very curious to see a video like that, especially interested to see how it holds up in terms of security these days, i imagine with windows 10 around the corner it might actually become less and less a target for hackers/trojans etc as time goes on. It would be great to have a lightweight window os to fall back on for older machines or specific uses. might be controversial to some extent, but id like to see some linux distros vs xp for older machines or something, the only reason i dont have linux mint as a main os for example is just the sheer compatability and support for apps and everything else that windows offers. But yeah man il let you know how i get on i might even upload a video if i feel it will be helpful to people, i wont post the link here but tbh id feel like i was awkwardly trying to snatch up your viewers or something lol, tbh i dont care about the success of my little library of vids i did them purely to give back to the community as it was videos and the youtube community who gave me a lot of help and advice towards my pc build last year and im getting to that age where i realise the importance of contributing and the value of community lol

    • @JohnboySK64

      if anyones curious i installed windows 10 on my old optiplex sx280 pentium 4 1gb ram 40gb hdd and cd rom, i found it to be unsuitable for use, it was functional, but aswell as having problems with updating the drivers (dell probably will never update them to windows 10 as they pretty much stopped supporting my model at windows xp), i found it to be just a bit to sluggish, this without the basic anti-virus and security programs that we all use, it was close, but i think the best suitor in this case would be linux mint 17.2 xfce edition, lightweight enough that it should run great and give me basic apps etc. yet to try it right enough but i dont see there being a problem, getting the nano wifi usb to work i see that being a problem, hopefully not a big one. Anyway i hope this info can help someone save a lot of time, its just my findings and opinions but i gave it a good shot. I feel windows 8 may work better, less reliance on store apps unless manually loaded, but if anyone is going to experiment with that with specs like i have you will likely want to disable windows updates completely in windows services, then in the control panel.
