Tiny 11 on Tiny Computers 

I made an error in this video saying this UX has a Core2Duo, The CPU in this machine is an Intel Core2Solo U2200 1.20 GHz. Fun fact: did you know it's possible to replace the Core2Solo with a Core2Duo CPU and some fine soldering skills. It has been done by some skilled VAIO UX owners in the past. I will need to learn more soldering skills before I can try that myself though :)

Seeing the Lumia running W11 so badly makes me want to see Windows phones come back. With a few tweaks it could be amazing and give a totally unique mobile experience with the taskbar, especially as W11 now runs Android apps so wouldn't be many downsides as I assume you could find a way to sideload most android apps and google services needed to run things like YT. I would 100% rock one.

This is making me compelled to buy a Lumia 950 now, since I absolutely love the idea of miniature devices behaving like a desktop

Your videos give this unusual 2013 RU-vid feels and I like it a lot. Plus it's always very interesting to see these obscure and unusual devices from the time when companies used to experiment a lot. Love your videos!

This reminds me of my teenage years. I remember back when I got Android to run on an iPhone 3GS for the first time after a jailbreak. It's so fun freeing our little devices to do things they were never intended to do.

Bought my Vaio UX a few years ago (second hand) just to fulfill how I remember seeing one in the shop as a kid and thought it was so cool. I elected to leave it on XP as it just really isn't up to running even 7. I do actually still use it occasionally for one purpose, as it is extremely portable to take with me in my car, and has no trouble running its equally ancient ECU tuning software.

Entertaining video, I wasn't too surprised by how slow 11 is on the VAIO.

I really like your clean pronunciation, I can easily watch without subtitles, thanks for that.

Mate I’ve fallen in love with this channel. You’ve got the perfect amount of everything needed for a great channel. Interesting technology, a good voice, knowledge, and a love for tinkering. Btw, it’s such a shame that Lumia didn’t continue till today. The 950XL was a fantastic phone, and I really liked its UI. Look forward to more of your videos mate. Cheers.

When you are starting windows you need to set up a manual pagefile size of a few gigs or memory, strip down effects and unnecessary things, go to accesibility and disable transparency and all that stuff, and finally energy plans and set it on high performance. This usually increases responsiveness.

that's really dope I never knew you even COULD run alternate OSs on the windows phones...

best RU-vid channel ever

I just discovered this channel! And I regret not finding this earlier! Your content is super duper awesome and I love it. It's my style! Thank you and can't wait to see more. 😊

I wish Windows phone was half as good as you make it look. It's all I really wanted in a phone, tbh. And you're showing, like, a glimpse into what we could have had.

4:58 " *Tnstalling* this is relatively smooth ..." 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Cool video. Thanks for the shoutout :) The comparison between the VAIO and Lumia is very interesting. Shows how far technology has come in the last decade. Have you seen Windows 11 on the 2018 PocoPhone F1? From videos at least, it looks amazing.

For an actually good user experience, you could try Tiny7 which uses less than 512mb of ram and can even fit into under 2GB of storage if you disable the swap partition

Thank you for this. Possible future life for Lumia phones. ❤ I love Lumiaaaa

The Vaio would benefit from Windows 8.1. Yes, really. Even lighter than Windows 7 and of course 10, it's great for Core 2 based machines. I was able to daily drive a 2006 Dell XPS M1710 a few years ago when my Mac was in for repair.

I love the fact you tinker with older tech on this channel like me. We all likely have a tech graveyard. Of the days past that were top of the line, then eventually fell out of favor. And finally, ended up relegated to a drawer or box. But I love picking up old tablets, watches and phones I have and searching for custom roms for them, to see if they can be updated. Mainly just because I can. But also, I hate the fact we create so much e waste. If I can find little jobs these old techs can do for me. Maybe just one job. But do it semi capably around my house (for instance an old tablet for bathroom music). That can just sit on a shelf in there and stream music when showering or getting ready for the day), then that is a win for me. Thanks for the interesting videos! ❤❤❤

SONY should revive their handheld VAIO umpcs to compete with Steam Deck and other umpcs! This is the perfect time for this market!

Genuinely in awe of you sir! Recently yet unexpectedly come across you and your channel and content. Absolutely hooked on your content! Stay amazing sir!

Honestly there's even a way stripped down version then tini11 called atomic11, it's 1Gb in size. It runs so smoothly on my surface go 3

Also, a tool called "MSGM Toolkit" can be used to make custom Windows ISO's. I usually will start with a Windows Server ISO, to get the cleanest base with no bloatware, than you can strip EVERYTHING with MSGM Toolkit. From the Microsoft Store and Cortana, all the way down to Windows defender, the start menu task bar and explorer.exe itself, etc. Obviously it can go overkill, but it's way more powerful. It's also open-source and just functions using simple DISM commands. Windows defender in particular, is very taxing especially on old hardware. Obviously it's never exactly a good idea to remove your anti-virus, but for situations like this video it make sense.

if you want to speed up timing for the DISKPART install, you can use ‘conv mbr’ ‘cre part pri’ ‘form fs=ntfs quick’ ‘sel part 1’ and other commands as normal.

To install windows 11 on unsupported hardware, you can also open regedit from cmd, create a key with a few values, then the OS installs as normal.

Amazing work! This is huge, Janus

thank you for all the work you do. i really enjoy every video you make. please dont change this style of making videos. :)

Hands down one of the best channels on youtube and found it by chance. To be honest, i didnt imagine the videos would be so informative, fun and professionally made. Thank you for your hard work. Probably the first channel i clicked the bell icon for. Can't wait for more nerdy, software flashing on old devices...

Damned that voice is so smooth!

just found this channel popped-up on my youtube timeline and already love it and watch half of the content

0:40 I love everything about this setup

you're improving a lot, congrats!

Pro tip: Most of those Windows CMD commands in diskpart all have shortcuts. Example: "select disk 1, select partition 1" can just be "sel dis 1, sel par 1" etc.

Just turn off the transition animation

Speaking of emulation, windows' subsystem (both linux and android on github) might be an amazing try for these old tiny devices

I really need to try this on my Lumia. The last hope to make it borderline usable and not slower than molasses.

That Sony Vaio still looks pretty sweet, even by today's standards. And now you've made me look at my old Nokia Lumia 1020 and wonder what I could do with it.

This popped up in my recommendations. Instant subscribtion. Keep up the good work. Now I want one of those VAIO s too

I am really happy I found your channel, it is very informative and interesting.

Intel had a few 64 bit CPUs before the Core 2, a couple of Xeons and Pentium 4s. They were terrible and fell behind a Core 2 running at a fraction of the clockspeed. There were a ton of chipset limitations and a 32 bit memory controller (from what I remember) on some early chipsets that limited early Core 2 CPUs to 4 GB or less of RAM despite being technically compatible with more. It was a strange time. You'd find IDE and SATA on the same board and tons of crossover options to maintain backwards compatibility with older standards.

Good thing that you didn’t fooled us! (Because it was 1st April)

Great video! Great channel. Best wishes from Panama 🇵🇦

This is like therapy for me

my new favorite channel

Windows 11 setup: Everything's gonna be alright baby. Just getting things ready for you by the way your a winner.

I bet that thing would run Linux like a dream.

You should ask Enderman. He is a master at skipping the setup.

8:47 - The 'Prescott' revision of the Pentium 4 was actually Intel's first x64 CPU. They licensed AMD's x64 instruction set from the AMD Opteron.

I tried Tiny11 on my Steam Deck on an external SSD and it's been as flawless as Windows on the Deck gets. Great little OS if you want your resources free for shenanigans.

I've had good success installing Tiny 10 in a windows to go format, that way you install it directly to the storage drive using a faster computer, I don't run it on anything quite this old, but the advantage is, if the storage media you're using is removable, you can just take the drive out and move it to the next computer. Start up takes a moment, but then it works without a hitch.

I really love how Sci-fi that VAIO looks, it looks like when a character is hacking stuff on a building or something they would bring that 😅

The first 64-bit consumer cpu by Intel was Intel Pentium 4 661 or 670.

Really enjoyed this video.

Wow, Tiny 11 on tiny devices makes tiny bot net soldiers lol ;)

Great video - and love your persistance. Have you tried Tiny11 on iPad Pro M1 with UTM?

I find old x86 devices good for specific light linux or windows uses, or as terminals, have heavy tasks run on another device over the local network.

dusted off my old 950's , just waiting on another charger to try this tiny11 arm build on them

its nice someone 0ut there cares about this and is keeping it alive. i wish reactOS woiuld catch up already so we could revive our old beloved mini pcs. i love this little computer, used it for college with a stripped down version of windows 7. i much prefer the oqo model 02. its what i always wanted and i want one with a 12th gen intel core or the new chinese via centaur generation cores but sadly can't just transplant its guts and swap. i would still use this stuff if everything wasn't so incompatible with current gen stuff. they make amazing office PCs and the GPD win series doesn't capture the pocketable, fancy keyboard nicheness utilitarianess this retro stuff has. i loved the viao UX series, biggest reason was you could install Chell graphics driver mod and play GTA San Andreas on the go....friggin loved that. but nowadays the GPD win series just blows that away really great for music, never getting rid of my UX50 lol

I've been waiting for this ever since Tiny11 came out.

2:17 welcome to the punishement screen

I wish Sony would remake the Vaio portable. I wanted one of those for so long back in 2006.

Subscribed. Love your formatting and content.

There's still a lot more you can do to get Tiny11 to run well on something like this, but I'm going to guess you don't want to tinker with it anymore XD

to be honest. Ifell like having a full version of windows 11 on a phone is abit of an overkill, but it still pretty darn impressive that we've gotten to a point where normal smartphones have more than enought computatinal power to handle such complex operative systems.

Tiny 11 is the real deal. I'm running all my major devices on it.

Congratulations on the 10k subscriptions :)

I gotta try this ISO image on my HP Mini 210.

So happy people are making use of the one windows phones. If someone can make decent apps work and texts I think I’ll go back to them with tiny 11

Were you unable to find the graphics driver for the VAIO? I'm sure graphics drivers made for Vista x64 or 7 x64 would work on Tiny11, or even the full fat version of Windows 11.

Wow super cool and interesting!!!!

you can scale windows 11 on the lumia so that it is usable and mobile. but windows 10 makes more sense as it supports a fullscreen tablet mode, which makes a lot more sense for a smartphone.

Cool video

this would run Ubuntu with LXDE or AntiX just fine! Would love to see a video of that, though, im sure you don't want to wipe the drive and have to reinstall later lol

good taste for music

Awesome video, awesome channel, thank you so much for this content! I think your channel is gonna grow soon!

Just skip the "Hi, we're getting things ready for you" screen by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete and click Cancel or Task Manager

Nice content, I’ve subscribed

😮😮😮❤Hello, new friend from Thailand.🇹🇭💯🙏 Let's watch a good clip. and will come back to visit again🎉🎉🎉

Hi, Janus! I watched the video and i thought that it would be pretty interesting to install the following systems on the VAIO: 1. Windows 8.1 Embedded Industry Pro or maybe Windows 8.1 RT3 (For Surface RT) and maybe even Windows 8.0 build 9200/8400. 2. Windows 10X (Find a tutorial how to install) 3. Android x86_64.

I’ve been wanting to play around with tiny 11. Also I love them vaio’s.

My first computer had 16Mb of RAM and ran Windows 95. The fact that an “optimised” version of Windows needs 2Gb shows how massively bloated the OS has become.

I would suggest trying micro 11 for the vaio, even tho it has weird quirks like not having a required service to connect to internet. Maybe you could try adding it back?

This look cool. It's give Blade Runner vibe.

New to channel. Sub earned! Would love to see you test game emulators on these devices. Will boost views ten fold. "Running Nintendo 64 emulator on tiny device using windows" everytime you do this on a phone or old pc run emus. That will bring the crowd.

the problem with these "tiny windows" versions is that gradually over time regardless of start menu options, it will start to soak up more and more ram from regular use, installing shit ect

09:38 Depeche Mode "Stripped"

My wife had a x86 tablet running android many years ago. It was really snappy and had excellent battery life (almost 10 hours). But with the then following version of android x86 support was removed (or at least made unavalible) for that tablet. It would be quite fun to se windows on something like that.

Dark theme is removed in Tiny 11. Activate your OS for themes Edit: Also test Ghost Spectre Windows 11

Time to pull out the Epia M920 with the VIA C4650 again and install Tiny 11 on it

sir stop making awesome videos!

The lumia is really cool!

Id recommend using a windows 11 Iso from ghost as its more structured out features and tweaks wise and seems to offer the best performance on lower spec hardware.

i like running windows on tiny machines.. lumia 950xl was one of my favorites

get retroarch up and running on it, it works on both 32 and 64 bit operating systems, would be cool to see what games this thing can play

I just thought I'm too late to suggest stripped down version of Windows 2 years later but there we go. GhostSpectre is even more lightweight.

Me: Mom Can We Stop And Buy A PC? Mom: We have PC At Home PC At Home:

Thanks!

2:11 enderman laughing in corner

you should try turning up the scaling in the display settings on the phone and removing all of the unnecesary stuff on the taskbar
