(Extremely Early Access!) How to Run Windows 11 in 2005
Added 2025-09-10 03:18:41 +0000 UTCI'm traveling to Chicago for VCFMW this week, so here is extremely early access to this week's video! Today, we're installing Windows 11 on our 2005 Sun Ultra 40. Which may be a slightly cursed thing to do.

If it were literally anybody else, I would ask "why the hell would you want, let alone bother to even try, to do this?" and exclaim "this is a terrible idea, don't bother, the result will be nothing but headaches and spite. Run Linux or get a new machine." But you? You get a pass. You very mundane, well-adjusted person, you. Go do some totally normal computing.π
