With 64GB of RAM available, you could accomplish this right now. The challenge lies in the fact that back then—DOS times and even early Windows—the system was built without the ability to store data locally. There wasn’t a registry, no internet updates, not even basic downloads. If everything were stored in RAM, changing OS settings would vanish upon reboot. You’d need a method to move data between storage and memory quickly, but copying 64GB at startup wouldn’t be fast enough. The fastest RAID0 SSD speeds are still too slow for such a task. Unfortunately, we’re still quite distant from achieving this level of performance.
I think so... Just keep in mind everything disappears when power drops, and there might be another restart involved. Uncertain about the second part.
