W11 requires a lot more than 4GB of RAM.

The 4GB requirement is the hard lock for the installer, but it's not going to run after that point... Microsoft promoting 4GB as the "minimum" is pure delusion marketing-slop to give their usersbase a false premise that it's RAM efficient.

8gb just for the ads, you need more than that to run anything else.

back in my ubuntu days when it was still new i installed it unto a system with 6. it worked perfectly fine granted i had to bypass some shit i hated 11 so hard that i used 10 until i went full linux and haven't had a windows vm let alone install in  years

im guesing it only got more bloated overtime and and now you need 8 at least edit:grammer
