Installing Windows 8.1 After the End of Support

[@lilmonix]

Windows 8.1 has some GUI and wifi problems, but overall it is still a pretty good operating system, it is more stable than Windows 10 early versions like 1507, 1511. September 27, 2023 11:48PM

[@sadmansakib6688]

i love u

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

Thanks for your comment! While Windows 8.1 might be stable, some viewers might be concerned about the GUI and Wi-Fi issues you mentioned. Could you elaborate on what kind of problems you've encountered?

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

@sadmansakib6688 Haha, thanks! Glad you're enjoying the video! Windows 8.1 definitely has a unique look. Are you a fan of retro tech in general, or is there something specific you like about 8.1?

[@iCrab]

Can you make the Windows 8.1 Enterprise with full updates ? Thanks

[@princeesolomonn]

Your links on the windows 7 video no longer work, I was willing to pay for the driver installations and such.

[@sinkzscs]

Thanks dude

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

You are most welcome

[@alexisnik19911]

long live NT 6.x Core !!!! (7 , 8.1 💕)

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

Long live the king!

[@wartortlerulestheworld]

yeah this is much better than Windows 10/11.

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

Why does it feel like Windows is going backwards instead of building on what works and making it better?

[@wartortlerulestheworld]

@@adventuresinnostalgia Yeah lol I think the next version of Windows will be even worse it just makes me feel sad saying that also did you see the email I sent to you about browsers.

i tried installing windows 8.1, but when the installation finishes, my computer restarts, and it does a blue screen with this error "INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR" i have a Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G2 ITL, Intel® Core™ i7-1165G, Integrated Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics, 16gb of ram

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

There is a BIOS/UEFI Update available. That may fix the problem pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkbook-series/thinkbook-14-g2-itl/downloads/driver-list/component?name=BIOS%2FUEFI&id=5AC6A815-321D-440E-8833-B07A93E0428C

Could you make a video for making windows nt 4.0 usable in 2023. BTW great vid!

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you found the video helpful. That's an interesting request about Windows NT 4.0. While it would be a challenge to make it truly secure for daily use ,a video on setting it up in a safe environment for nostalgia purposes could be fun. Would you be interested in something like that? is there a specific aspect you'd be most interested in seeing?"

[@rskeyesful]

One question. Why?

[@sinkzscs]

Because modern PCs don’t support 7 and nobody wants to use 10, I use 7 and 8.1 as my daily driver

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

Iwas so preoccupied with whether or not I could that I didn't stop to think of I should

[@randycrawford4921]

In my case it is to run legacy programs off line for some 32 bit programs that don't run well or at all on Windows 64 bit.

[@edwineriksson2882]

Windows 7 is the best operating systems of all times after windows xp

[@RealCaptainPingu]

No, Windows 7 is miles better than XP, XP is still good but in no way is it better than 7.

[@PROMincraftExpliotsnotro-gt2rf]

Yeah captain thats kinda true but windows 10 is just mid and windows 8.1 was just ahead of its own time

[@WololoWololo2]

Windows 11 is better than 10 atleast

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

I love that your comment has more comments than my video does. Well done!

[@PROMincraftExpliotsnotro-gt2rf]

We can all agree that windows 7 is our windows xp, and windows Xp is your windows 7.

[@misfotogramas]

If you have amd ryzen 5 processor IS not possible because wifi no works

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

Thanks for confirming that for us. Much appreciated!

[@ayham8260]

Bro how can i install it ..

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

Do you have the "installation media"? If not, you will need to create it, either on a DVD or USB flash drive

[@Hil_lol]

You should have upload this sonnee

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

If only I had known!

[@akirraslay]

YESS

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

Glad you got it working! Did you run into any challenges during the installation process?

[@akirraslay]

​@@adventuresinnostalgiaonly thing that won't work is that my Intel celeron has no display drivers

[@kotenya]

embedded industry pro

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you recommending embedded industry pro?

[@TheShanampan]

Why on earth would anyone WANT to install what is probably Microsoft's worst ever OS? Even windows Vista,windows ME,windows 98 SE were better than windows 8! I know,I have tried every single version since windows 3.1 which took me hours to install on a 286! The best version of windows (imho) is windows 7 64 bit which I still use on another PC.

[@sinkzscs]

Windows 8.1 is not bad you have never used it

[@DaDog297]

​@@sinkzscsyes true

[@qwerdsffds]

In my opinion you are confusing it with 8.0, windows 8.0 was the unusable one, windows 8.1 especially with the 2014 update is way better than windows 8.0

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

Thanks for your comment! While Windows 8.1 certainly wasn't for everyone, I'm curious what aspects of it you found worse than Vista or ME? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
