[@real2w10]

It isn't possible to do a complete upgrade because Windows 1.0 is 16-bit only, and Windows 11 is 64-bit only, and you can't upgrade 16-bit or 32-bit to 64-bit, so you would have to do a clean install of Windows 11 x64 once you have upgraded to Windows 10 x86. However, it is possible to upgrade Windows Server 2003 x64 to Windows 11 x64 without a clean install.

[@arcTic475]

Umm....... good luck with that because that is impossible cuz ain't no way you can run windows 1.0 and windows 11 on the same computer especially because windows 11 doesn't even have a 32 bit version... Edit: I'm back after 8 monthsssss 😅😅

there are already kinda 3 settings pannels, tho the oldest one is kinda in the back and used as a "backbone" to suppliement the other 2 im talking about these small windows that open when you change some very specific setting (for example the sounds) - i think it originates from very old windows versions and were originally opened trough start menu. then the control panel came, which added more options and kinda segregated these settings and added new ones. and then came "Windows Settings" which is very minimalistic, not intuitive, and sends you to control panel for most of the specific settings.

@WolframaticAlpha That’s still a bad excuse for the UX inconsistencies.

I guess they might actually be dropping the numbering from the name. If you paid attention to the install screen, on the first screen that contained the new logo it said: Windows. No number. It would go in line with their windows as a service target. And since their are delivering a lot as a service through Azure, I guess that's the end goal with Windows as well. That's why the build number will probably continue to start with 10, like 10.1.21455 or something as shown in the video and the versions will be named with year and month or half of the year of launch as they are now like 21h1. I mean it's stupid to deliver Windows as an ongoing service and call it by a number.

There’s so much inconsistency in Windows 10 with critical functions left seemingly unchanged from their Windows 95, XP, Vista or 7 implementations.
