Dell Inspiron 2650 Windows XP OOBE

[@TheRandomGuy570]

I miss the Windows XP era. It made something so simple like a setup screen so magical and exciting.

[@unchi1999]

Same here 😢

[@OakBlox]

wow, the xp oobe is truly glorious, since you cant return to it, it only appears once on first boot, thats it

[@CEO100able]

Hello there! As someone who has been using Windows XP for over nineteen years, I find this video about your old Dell laptop very interesting and nostalgic. 1:08 - That boot screen of Windows XP Home Edition seems to be officially default here. 8:50 - Wow, I never knew MusicMatch Jukebox had its own Dell counterpart. If it had its Dell-themed skin, I wonder what it looked like? The HP Pavilion tower desktop PC I used to have from 2002 to 2004 featured an HP variant, with a short preview of "David Gray - Please Forgive Me." Nice job, and keep it up!

[@musicmoviesandgames2004]

I have an HP Pavilion desktop that was made in early 2003 with its original install of Windows XP Home Edition SP1, and I know what HP skin you are talking about. It actually does have its own Dell themed skin, along with some sample music as well. I might make a video about that in the future.

@@musicmoviesandgames2004 Cool! I'd love to see all of that in a video very soon because I haven't seen it all yet, so thanks for that idea! That would mean a lot to me!

@@CEO100able Thanks. Although I won’t be able to do that in about 5 days because I will be out of town until that point.

That OOBE music (aka the Internet Explorer Starter Kit music) is pure nostalgia

It’s good to see this on a real machine instead of a virtual machine

[@musicmoviesandgames2004]

It sure is! Definitely adds to nostalgia.

[@smoothiethepotato]

@@musicmoviesandgames2004 yup

[@unchi1999]

I agree and plus back when I was a kid when I used to use virtual machines on programs such as Microsoft virtual PC 2007 VMware and virtual box I didn't have the same experience as I had back in the 90s and plus I felt embarrassed when I kept on getting application crashes on windows 98 in Microsoft virtual PC which didn't feel authentic at all and wasn't normal and didn't even feel like a real computer. and eventually Virtual machines caused a lot of fights in my house And made my mom and dad all paranoid because they were thinking I was messing up the computer. So yeah doing a real machine is a lot better than doing a virtual machine and plus you don't get fights in your house.

@@unchi1999 seems like your problem and a problem with your pc cause im running dos 3.2 for an hour and nothing happens on the vm

[@unchi1999]

@@OakBlox well, good for you then

[@NielsonLucas]

I have that same model laptop running Windows XP, but it has a lower-resolution 1024x768 screen and an Intel Celeron CPU instead of a Pentium 4.

[@trollingtime1234]

I find it really interesting to find out what an oem oobe of windows xp looks like, especially on an early 2000s laptop. Also it's quite uncommon to hear the setup music on actual hardware and not on a vm.

[@itss_fely_162]

Windows XP is my favourite OS

[@Endermanch]

That laptop looks sweet.. an unused or a refurb?

[@musicmoviesandgames2004]

Unused

[@mryoshii]

hi

[@SearInMinecraft]

When you start the computer for the first time, it would "Start" Windows 95. And after the notice part boots to the OS

[@musicmoviesandgames2004]

It’s because of a DOS environment of another small partition that runs the first two prompt screen.

[@carlosvaca299]

I just realized that Windows XP installer had music in it 😱

[@smpark12]

“Starting Windows 95…”?

[@musicmoviesandgames2004]

Yeah. It’s a preboot environment that shows the first two screens after the BIOS screen and then it boots XP for the first time.

[@smoothiethepotato]

We should appreciate the fact that computers these days are a lot more faster. I bet back than you had to wait a while hour. Some computers these days might be like this too only if the computer came with a older operating system like win8 and it’s running like win10 or something. (Only reason why I didn’t say win11 is because you have to have like the newest computers for windows 11) (This is not to say the computer in the video is slow 😀)

[@unchi1999]

Wow how on earth did you factory reset your Dell Inspiron 2650 like that? I have that same model laptop but don't know how you did that OOBE?

Old computers do it better , sometimes at least 😁😁🤜🏻🤜🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I'd like to see one on a vista dell. Inspiron 1545 oobe

[@GeorgieCodyTheWindowsLover]

I have 2 Dell laptops. 1 Vostro 1450 laptop and 1 Studio XPS 1340. Not refurbished, but original. One runs Windows 7 and the other... meh. I could install Windows XP on the XPS but my Vostro does not support it. Though unlikely as I would use Vista instead.

Can you please make a tutorial on how to make the cd?

[@CMILF]

I upgraded my dell inspirion 1200 [windows xp home edition sp2] to windows xp professinal sp3 because it was missing .dll files.
