Downgrading Windows 11 to 1.01!

You've seen my video in the past where I did a Timelapse of installing Windows 1.01 to 11. But this time, let's do it in the opposite way. What if we downgraded Windows 11 all the way to 1.01?
Note at the following points: Windows XP was slightly corrupted for a reason I don't understand, and Windows 3.0 refused to boot regardless of what parameters I used.

It's a hassle because if you take the fact that he uploads to frequently, he would not want to add timestamps which are not exactly THAT necessary. Plus, video editing has to take time. He's got hours worth of raw footage, condensed into a mere 8 minute video.

Right I found an authentic copy of Windows 7 on ebay was debating on running it off a laptop or something I only got a cheap emachine only running off 2 cores right now if I find a processor compatible with it that can give it at least 4 cores and a quad core I can turn it into my main computer and abandon my modern PC and live the rest of my life running off an old school computer from the early 2000s I was debating on turning my MODERN computer into a Steam Machine and have it run off as a gaming console. I need to find what processors I can instal on the emachine to run up to classic games on it so far I got The Sims Complete Collection running on it it has 8GB of RAM on it running for casual purposes and checking emails feels like a good idea if I could abandon my SmartTV next for one of those big CRT TVs for classic games I could relive a small fraction of my childhood.

I still like Vista. Work has a vintage laptop with Vista SP2 and Firefox 3.6 to support a certain legacy device, and it's delightful. Looks good, is snappy and fast even on a junky craptop. I also found SP1 and SP2 to be great at home. Vista's rocky start really tarnished its reputation, but it was by no means as bad as everyone said.

[@ThomMyer]

My desktop with Vista was a Dell Insprion (couldn't find the number of it), but it had like 8GB ram and about 256GB SSD. Worked great but lasted about 8 years from 2007 to 2015,. but after 6 months some hackers got into the whole desktop, locked everything except my games and stuff, I ordered a new Inspiron PC with Windows 10 pre-installed, but was lucky to revive some things, but not all of it.

I once tried to install and downgrade a Dell Inspiron 3252 from it's OEM Windows 10 (which was upgraded to 22H2) to Windows 7. I had seen my older sister do it before (but on a different processor model than the one I had tried), but it didn't work, and got stuck on a driver file loading during startup. Luckily, I was able to do the rollback process (which was still an option) and restore the copy of Windows 10.

[@Phonimator]

In December 2020, I used Windows XP on a 2007 laptop until it broke in early 2022. I was then “forced” to use a later version of Windows 10 on a newer 2020 laptop, as it didn’t even have full support for Win10 RTM. Then, at the end of the year, I finally got a 2008 laptop, all shiny and perfect. I upgraded its components to: - 8GB RAM (~8079MB usable) - Core2 Duo T9600 (~2,801 MHz) - Overclocking performed on internal nVidia chip. I used Vista until I dualbooted it with XP. Vista would not appear in the boot menu. From there, I formatted the disk and dualbooted Windows 7 with Windows 10 RTM. I will fully upgrade to Windows 8.1, with a 2014 laptop and everything, in 2025. Unless something forces me to upgrade “early”...

The VM has hardware that works well with a quite big range of versions. And technically none of these was a “downgrade”, as every time they had to pick to keep nothing from the previous installation. A motherboard from 2008 that is Windows Vista Certified, has upgraded RAM, that can run Windows XP through 10 and even 11 (with TPM and CPU bypasses and either rEFIt or some weird bypass to run Windows 11 on Legacy systems).
