Windows FLP is a lightweight version of the Microsoft Windows operating system which was launched in the year 2006. It was designed specifically for business use and could run on older hardware with low specifications.
Microsoft had added many features in Windows FLP such as better security and improved networking capabilities. However, Windows FLP had certain conditions to meet in order to run the Windows system in your device, such as a minimum of 64 MB RAM.
