Great trip down memory lane. Gave me flashbacks to playing Transport Tycoon and Command & Conquer on MS-DOS; making new folders and changing icons on 3.11 and feeling like a pro; having my mind blown when I first saw 95's interface; taking my first steps on the internet on 98; running ME on my first personally owned system; having my mind blown (again) by XP's interface, trying out and talking about Longhorn (Vista) with my friends when it leaked (again, feeling like a pro), running 7 for too long because of 8's "Metro" interface and finally upgrading to 8.1/10 because everyone dropped support for 7. Fun times. Thank you very much, Muta. I have to bitch about few things though: 5:00 This low? Those specs are pretty damn high. 2GB max partition size is some serious 80's futureproofing. Consumer level hardware from the late 80's would've been a 5-20MB HDD, 1-4MB RAM, a 10-30Mhz CPU and a sound card if you could afford one. 27:00 I get the point and I remember there being a lot of drama when the first dual core CPU's got introduced, but cores and threads aren't the same thing. Single cores ran multiple threads (Intel called it Hyperthreading I believe).

[@GuyFromJupiter]

22:50 I actually did this exact process not long ago for a Windows 10 VM. For some reason Windows 10 decided it needed to place the recovery partition directly to the right of the C partition when it was installed, so even if you expand the hard drive Windows 10's built in partition manager could not actually expand the C partition. Now, once I actually fixed and expanded the partitions with GParted Windows 10 decided that the hard drive was corrupted and that it really wanted to do a disk check every time I started the VM, but if I ever forgot to interrupt that and make it just boot up then the disk checker would completely brick my VM (luckily I had made a backup before making this discovery). I never was able to find a fix for that either, so thanks Microsoft! I just love that you took care to include tools in Windows that will automatically brick my PC!

Installed WinG, Comet Busters, All of the Windows Entertainment and 16-bit arcade packs. Then, I upgraded this to Win 95 OSR2.1. Installed the 32-bit arcade packs. Used Norton Ghost to convert the FAT16 drive to FAT32 and then imaged it to a larger drive. I installed Rudolph Loews Big Disk and Large Memory Patches. Installed the I.E. 4.01 with Active Desktop Update. Installed Plus 95. Then I upgraded 95 to 98 and then 98 to 98SE. Installed Plus 98. I installed the K6-2 patch to allow multi GHz CPUs. Upgraded to Win ME (there was no ME Plus pack). Finally upgraded to Windows XP and installed XP Plus. All of this was done on a Gigabyte Pentium 3 Mobo with a 1GHz P3. It was a MESS! But I enjoyed every minute of it (this was in 2010). I have since lost my Aptiva Recovery CD and I would gladly purchase a replacement for that CD if I could find it. That setup allowed my XP to have all previous plus pack enhancements in addition to XP Plus but it was "naughty"

Thank you for this! Trip down memory lane!

[@Joey2750]

My brother had an HP Desktop that dual booted both Windows ME and Windows 2000 Professional. My favorite was definitely Windows XP Media Center being able to watch and record tv shows was awesome however Windows 95, 98 will always have a special place in my heart. Fun fact: newer versions of Windows removed some of the customization options such as being able to change the title bar and font colors to pretty much any color my go to was black and neon green.

[@LamentButterfly]

This was really fun to watch - a great trip down memory lane! My life with my own PCs went from Win3.11 all the way through Win10 (although I started with an Apple IIc, and I got to use a Win2.0 machine at my neighbour’s house), and honestly Win98, 2000, and XP still are my favourites. 98 is the most stable OS I’ve experienced in my life, and it had amazing functionality for the era. I miss DOS, now. A lot. Back then, I actually knew how to *use* my computer and play with the bios/drivers, some simple programming, and having fun with my charming 14.4 dial up modem, as opposed to my being almost completely lost when it comes to my current PC laptop. I had a ME machine my sophomore year of college, and it had some cool features, but it wasn’t ... stable ... in my experience with it, and I actually upgraded it to 2000 by the end of the school year. Windows NT was badass, though. I got to use it for work back then, and I started doing all my school stuff at work until I got 2000 because ME was gawdawful garbage. Vista wasn’t TERRIBLE, but I did revert to XP after a few months of Vista, even though I had it on a pretty damn overpowered, high end PC with a NVIDIA graphics card. I just didn’t like the UI, honestly. It ran well and was stable, unlike ME. I’m actually still running XP on my desktop - the same one that was made to be a Vista machine - and it’s been a LOT of work to keep such an old machine running and compatible with necessary peripherals, but it’s worth it. I don’t care that it’s not supported. It still does what I need it to do. Obviously, I didn’t really care for 7, 8, or 10. It feels odd for someone who started learning simple programming on an Apple IIc in kindergarten in 1986-1987 and who even built both her own 3.11 and Win95 machines in middle and high school, to be turning into a Luddite. And I have kept up with the new OSes as they’ve come out, but I just don’t like any OS after XP, although my complaints are mostly UI issues, as opposed to functionality or stability issues. Regardless, this video was really well done and well researched since you’re too young to remember the pre Win98 era very well! Thanks for the journey back into my childhood!

Honestly, I loved 8´s start screen. Whenever I was browsing anything and a parent walked by I could quickly press the windows key to switch to the start screen and they wouldn´t know I was watching the fabled "VIOLENT CONTENT" they didn't want me to watch.

[@Copperskull1]

My childhood to now was DOS 5, Win 3.1, Win 95, Win 98se, WinXP, Win7, Win10. I definitely got some nostalgia from this video. Prior to DOS, I also had a Tandy Color Computer 2 and Color Computer 3 if you want to count those as well.

[@eduardpalui1388]

Hi Mudahar. Big fan. I would like to add to your comment. In respect to windows 8 Era. It was when the shifty main board died, and windows 8 was the first OD that knew how to adapt to the new hardware without any blue screens or other driver update stuff. Pull the drive change the hardware and let the system boot again. Some repairs and river modifications where happening on a nice GUI. In my opinion, that was the day when windows really changed the history of their product. Either way great video😊😊

I miss Windows Movie Maker. Especially now when you need an editing software but can't afford one. Edit: Also I had a Windows 7 laptop once. Got the windows 8 upgrade for free. And the screen came clean off because Geek Squad wedged a giant screw into it when I took it to them to get it fixed and cleaned out. I wanted to cry...

you could for example download a episode of the adventures of sonic the hedgehog and use Windows Movie Maker to cut out the "snoo" and "usual i see" out of the line "snooping as usual I see" which is a line said by robotnik in one episode and what remains would be something very funny

[@jonnyOysters]

No one mentions the best free video editor? VSDC the standard free editor is great the only real limitation on it is it's software rendering only. But if you need to do hardware rendering them you may as well pay for video editing anyway. And can do way more than movie maker could ever do.
