Windows 11 + Windows XP = ?

The reason CMD reports Windows 8, is because it doesn't have a manifest telling it that it supports Windows 8.1, 10 and 11. Windows will report the wrong version to these applications

[@sfisher923]

On a similar note certain Python Programs will report Windows 8 instead of Windows 10 (Noticed this while looking at a log file on a DDLC mod called Monika After Story which uses Ren'py a Python Based Engine mainly used for Visual Novels)

[@powershellaxp64]

@@sfisher923 i'm sure it's caused by the same thing. Manually adding a manifest actually fixed one application that was reporting it was running on "NT 6.2"

[@chocolateimage]

and its not a "random" build, its the original release of windows 8

@randomboi901_2 what do you mean?

[@thanthanasiszamp4707]

I would love to see Windows 11 as windows 1.0

[@Notevenmad955]

6:40 It's probably using the deprecated(starting with 8.1) API for fetching the Windows version which will return Windows 8 RTM if the app calling it wasn't marked as compatible with Windows 8.1 or above.

[@jacquelineliu2641]

Finally a right answer. I've read the relevant documentation before.

About the 6.2.9200 build string in CMD, first of all it's not a random build. It's the original release of Windows 8, but was heavily criticized and so Microsoft released Windows 8.1 (build 6.3.9600) that fixed some of the issues this original release had. Second of all this string doesn't appear because of a missing DLL string, but because Windows reports its version as Windows 8 (build 6.2.9200) to older programs that don't include a proper version manifest, a feature introduced in Windows 8.1, in order to maintain backwards compatibility.

[@technological4090]

and that, is proof that its just layers on layers

[@XaneMyers]

What an interesting experiment! That leftover version string is so interesting and weird at the same time; I think you should dig deeper and see if your suspicions are correct about where Windows is getting it from. Also, how did you make it open the old Wordpad? I think modern Windows forces the newer version open even if you give it the Windows XP version, but I prefer the nostalgic classic version. (At least Paint doesn't have the strange redirection behavior in it.)

[@Endermanch]

write.exe got replaced by the winxp one

[@XaneMyers]

@@Endermanch Oh! So, if someone replaces that executable with the older one, Windows will use it instead? That's good!

[@MouseQueen7220]

About the version string, that wasnt a random version of Windows 8, that was Windows 8 RTM.

[@BetterCallBigShotAutos]

Wonder why Notepad redirected though, I think the filename never changed

[@tflsh]

@@Endermanch Actually Wordpad is stored in C:\Program Files\Windows NT. write.exe is just a wrapper/launcher for backwards compatibility.

[@hostolis]

Would it be possible to run this experiment on offline systems? Meaning, attach a hard drive where XP is installed ->copy everything -> attach a hard driver where windows 11 is installed -> replace everything. This way all files that are usually “in use” would be able to be overwritten. If this can’t happen, what are the limitations?

I thought it would be the inverse!!! A most insane version upgrade. Would be cool also if you replaced windows 11 assets with vista or 7, they are wayyy more similar to 11 than xp and maybe a ton of apps and features would jank into existence :)

[@BackTheNerd]

I 100% agree, it could be interesting. I mean, hell, you can still easily find vista/7 remnants in Windows 11.

[@Aeduo]

Something like what windows 98 has with kernelex, to try to bring the newest possible DLLs in to windows XP would be interesting. Might exist already. Eventually though you'll run in to where things start needing newer kernel features or other things fundamental to windows xp.

[@hanakomisa]

@@Aeduo OneCore API for XP yeah though it is very unstable. for Vista there's the extended kernel.

[@UltraCenterHQ]

The apps probably wouldn't show up. Because most Windows programs use UWP now

[@forcequitOS]

I honestly want to see this happen with two closer Windows versions. Maybe XP and Vista/7, or 10/11 and Vista/7

[@Jorni_MOS]

I mean Vista could work tbh. It uses old code from XP aswell some other things. I would like to see that actually and see how it turns out

[@EricParker]

I tried 7 & 11 and it mostly just inherented the other one. Xp & Vista I imagine would be a problem, 10 11 or 8 should be pretty much fully compatible. It's not so much the distance in versions as certain periods where the whole thing was overhauled. Vista is essentially where windows becomes 'modern', xp and me are even more different.

[@paulstelian97]

The leftover version string of 6.2.9200 (Windows 8) is an explicit thing 8.1 (and newer) does to programs that don't explicitly declare that they support Windows 8.1 (or newer).

[@ondrejpavlik4210]

4:44 When it comes to the old help viewer, It has barely changed in its last decade. It was removed from Windows 8.x and remained as an optional update on those systems. Windows 10/11 did not recieve this update, however it is possible to get the help viewer installed back without any issue. The reason it was removed was most likely to discourage developers from using the old help system (*.hlp; *.chm) in 2015, probably due to IE dependencies (not sure on that though).

[@tflsh]

You are confusing 95's help viewer with 98's help. winhlp32 (95 one, .hlp files) got deprecated but hh (98+, .chm files) aren't.

[@ondrejpavlik4210]

​@@tflsh winhlp32.exe did persist on NT based systems up until Windows 7 and was installable on Windows 8.x. It was capable of reading these same help documents. It is in fact another Win9x era remnant that survived all the way to 2013; the one you are talking about. On Windows 10/11 a same-named file still exists, but it is a dummy that redirects you to Microsofts support website describing why did they do this.

[@GroupNebula563]

1:15 love how you’re still blanking that out just to mess with yt

[@amanguver]

Would be interesting to see the same thing done but with Windows 7 or Vista dlls etc...

[@Kippykip]

With the XP source code being leaked, I wonder if it'll be possible to port it entirely to a modern kernel?

[@MikuAuahDark]

6:40 it's because Microsoft deprecate GetVersion(Ex) Win32 API and all unmanifested application will be given Windows 8 version.

[@VMTCC_25]

[@Sparky_Ferret]

I would also love to see windows 11 integrated into windows xp. I think that would be awesome :)

[@андрей_свиридов]

Hey! About the 6.2.9200 build. This happened to me in many many different programs too. For example in steam's crash logs my windows 10 ltsc was reported as windows 8. And even when I played minecraft bedrock beta, the version displayed on the debug info was Windows 8 (6.2.9200), although windows 8 can't run UWP apps, and the MetroUI builds of minecraft bedrock doesn't exist (Or available to developers only (Win32 versions))

[@ben12355]

i wonder what would of happened if it tried updating the system. would the system update correctly, and find the many red flags of the windows XP amalgamation, and delete them, and replace all the red flags and the windows 11 with the correct windows 11? Edit: if you don't understand, basically, what if an update happened, will it delete the XP data, or keep the XP data. Edit: also I don't know much about computer OSes and stuff so correct me if I'm wrong

[@lovrito2008]

It wouldn't be able to reboot.

[@DavidWonn]

Interesting experiment. I know you can extract some programs from XPMode inside of certain Windows 7 versions and run them in the Win 7 host (Solitaire works, for example.) I never went as far as replacing the 7 components with the XP ones like you're doing with 11, though.

[@saptadeepnath5664]

Technically, Windows XP to Windows 10 32-bit should work better. You are keeping a lot of 32 bit libraries but replacing a lot of the 64 bit ones with 32 bit from XP, because of the differences between System32 and SysWow64. If I recall correctly, Cmd showed a different version because the old method of getting windows version numbers works until NT 6.2. The newer version, such as Windows 10 uses different APIs for the same.

[@Notevenmad955]

I know the comment is old. But Ender did use the 64-bit version of XP as indicated by the “Program Files (x86)” folder. And by paying attention while navigating the XP folder you would see the SysWoW64 folder too, and he using the 64-bit version of TotalCommander on XP which should not be possible at all on a 32-bit OS
