The Ultimate Windows Wallpaper Pack

[@fusoxide]

Thanks for making a video about my wallpaper pack! I put a lot of love and care into this pack, and I'm glad it paid off. I think the world really needed an extensive archive of Windows wallpapers, especially with how much love they've had over the years. Also to clarify about the unlinked ones: that's because it's a version that shares the same folder as the one previously linked, e.g NT 3.1 and NT 3.51. I think I'll just link them to avoid confusion.

[@bkgrnd1337]

thanks for making this archive dude! i can now use the actual bliss picture on my laptop :D

[@guyincognito5663]

@@bkgrnd1337 Nothing beats Bliss.

[@_..---]

thanks man, this is exactly the type of thing many of us were looking for

[@GBlastMan]

really cool seeing somebody archiving all this historical wallpapers, like the actual ones not just a recreation of it, because its like a window (pun totally intended) into a simple era and a still of what that time was for so many people. I hope you get to add the official OS-Tan wallpapers that Michael showcased here in his video, because those are really well made and pretty cool.

[@uberrrr]

What an absolute chad.

[@Mgamerz]

I would definitely watch a whole video about this. I love old windows stuff.

[@DanielC_YT]

Agreed.

[@joeldowell5059]

I would too, it may take me a couple watches to do it all, but I'd definitely watch it

[@davifm_]

totally

[@curious1706]

I was prepared to watch a video of you going through all them, it'd be fun to watch! Hope you make a followup doing that soon lol

[@TaelsDoll]

i was expecting michael to review every single wallpaper

[@CesareVesdani]

Those are such beautiful wallpapers. Windows XP has my favourite wallpapers, which any version of Windows has ever had. My favourite wallpaper of Windows XP is the Bliss wallpaper.

[@gmmtm373]

I'm glad you reviewed the best Windows wallpaper pack, ever. This is really astonishing. I'm one of the contributors of this project.

[@tuxedobird]

This is so cool, I remember trying to look for specific wallpapers and finding it to be very frustrating

[@DavidWonn]

I find it interesting how some wallpapers in the Win 3.x days didn't always appear on some floppy versions (like the party ribbons aren't always on 3.0 for instance.) The same seems to happen with some Windows 3.1 screen savers as well.

[@NJRoadfan]

Windows For Workgroups 3.11 omitted some wallpapers and most of the screen savers from the stock Windows 3.1 release to save on disk space. Microsoft used to offer the missing content as a single download on their FTP site.

[@KosMosPV]

It would be great if there will similar pack with all sounds from Windows.

[@fusoxide]

You can find many of those in the OS Sound Kit, on the same DeviantArt page (run by me). I do also have a better and larger archive of tech sounds (including Windows) in the works too.

[@winelectronic101]

​@@fusoxide Hopefully it's more accurate than Sectorwire's version of the kit. Plus, both of what you described include fanmade stuff in addition to other operating systems.

[@C-Midori]

I can finally relive the good days of those Windows 7 themes.

[@whirrCS2]

True

[@-throat-]

You could take it one step further and make a Windows 7 VM, mwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

[@frstwhsprs]

AYO IT'S POPPY!!!

[@NoahClevinger]

Bliss will always be iconic.

[@gavinthecrafter]

This is really cool, immediately dropped this into my wallpapers folder on my computer

[@H.G.Halberd]

I thought you were going through them :< that would be one of those videos i would randomly watch 10 times in 3 years at 2:48 am before going to sleep

[@sonicjhiq]

This will be useful since I've been building up pc wallpapers including the brand name wallpapers like Dell Toshiba and HP

[@PCWindowstechguy]

I have seen every single Windows default wallpaper and the best one by far is Bliss, but the pack is missing Rick A... Anyways great to see you reviewing fan projects and also keep up with the high quality videos Michael MJD!

[@supervitu64]

This pack will be so good for my PC.

[@Patrick2480]

Marble, Red brick, Castle, Arcade were my faves back in the day 30 yrs ago, always ported/transfered them when I got Win 95/98 machines, some reason stopped doing it in Win XP, lol

[@gregsmith9183]

Nice pack. Got me thinking about Screen Savers as well. How every Windows version had them but these days not many use them. Opting instead to let there flat screen monitor turn off in power saving mode.

[@philtkaswahl2124]

Downloading for a nice little nostalgia trip.

[@ChloeKenobi]

I’m sure I’m not the first to say it but I definitely would watch a longer form video on this!! Very cool efforts being made 💪🏻💪🏻

[@inkballpro]

I love that one vista wallpaper with the leaves

[@jgsh8062]

Lol, I just found out about this pack earlier today and now you've uploaded a video on it on the same day!

[@JohnSmith-XYZ]

Thanks for spotlighting this, downloading them now. I love wallpapers!

[@watchingworm]

Please do make a video where you go through all or your favourite wallpapers!

[@friedcatfood]

Amazing work by fusoxide! I can't wait to set some of these as my own wallpaper... ...on my Mac.

[@jay1185]

Thanks for uploading all of these (to the archivist, fusoxide) and to Michael MJD for making this video. I'm sad that it's gonna take me ages to download all of this lol. Google Drive has a 15GB limit, why not put the full 12GB archive on there?

[@ThatRandomToast]

They probably also store other stuff on their Google Drive.

[@jay1185]

@@ThatRandomToast Agreed. But you could just register a fresh account and only store that on the drive! :)

[@fusoxide]

I only put the 2GB archive on there because I wanted to have a smaller version that's easier for people to download (and quicker than manually selecting folders on MEGA). I'll consider mirroring the whole archive to Google Drive too though.

[@MUSiCK9]

Man what I do for the old screensavors pack! I remember there was one with the Haunted house that freaked me out as a kid, it was so cool.

[@juancriolivares]

May be you could do a video of your top 10 favorites... or some kind of special categories like "most ugly" :D just an idea. Great video!

[@derpycat9347]

Finally something good from diviantart

[@StallionX3]

This even have the Madobe Family wallpapers lol, very epic.

[@OdairASilva]

Unbelievable, thank you for sharing these really cool things with us!

[@chrishahn3834]

1.87GB of pure wallpaper, baby! Thanks!

[@SpitterChan]

Happy New Year Michael!!

[@00MOONIST69]

我非常感谢你的分享，我花了好久才找到这些。😀让我找回了儿时的记忆，我也准备拿给我的父母欣赏欣赏😊

[@RetroGamerOG_]

I like packs it just gets me excited

[@maksymiliankuznik4856]

I love this pack. My desktop will be happy.

[@markusTegelane]

Fun fact: The readme actually has background music, but because modern browsers block autoplaying audio, it doesn’t play.

[@fusoxide]

That was a leftover from the Vista & 7 HD pack readme that I forgot to remove! It's a slowed down quieter mix of my track A Vista-Esque Experience.

[@maccamachine]

This is so cool I always love this type of stuff great video maj

[@SeedSnatcher]

The Microsoft Japan Windows XP wallpapers are incredibly cool

[@CardCaptorKaren]

Someone did the same thing for Mac OSX wallpapers last year I think and it ruled.

[@winelectronic101]

Now that'd be interesting. Now combine both of them and get Linux as well (which is probably asking for a bit too much considering Linux distros are constantly being updated and made).

[@DemonPlays088]

Hello Michael, Thanks 4 ur videos, they are very amezing, Gratings from Brazil.

[@ej_tech]

"Too many users have viewed or downloaded this file recently" for the Google Drive one. We need a torrent option for this.

[@Joeyroxas]

02:12 i like the 16bit version, as if its some sort of night version, ive never seen this version before though until now

[@ThatRandomToast]

Used during upgrade

[@miro007ist]

This is my dream come true. Best Christmas present.

[@goldibollocks]

I’m up for an hour long video going through everything 👍

[@PurblePink8678]

I will plan on downloading that tomorrow

[@xWaLeEdOoOx]

i enjoy ANY video of yours even if u started makin shorts!

[@Blaster_Unity_UB]

I'll try to download as much I can from mega, cuz it's just very very cool in my opinion

[@altrogeruvah]

Having all the original Windows wallpapers is great but man, all I ever want in my life is a widescreen 4K version of Windows 95's setup.bmp. I suppose I could always upscale it. Also, fan made wallpapers are often hit or miss: it always irks me when they use the wrong font or high bitrate photography & graphic design when that wasn't a thing back then.

[@gdcalamity]

TAHNK YOU MJD FOR NOTIFYING ME OF THIS

[@ArashYT]

YES A 60FPS MJD VIDEO!

[@mlg_killer_hd]

Hey MJD, Windows 7-C is about to come out. Do you want to review it?

[@Kadencabs]

i wanted to make one before but thank you for this

[@ogee7159]

looking for screensaver it was after 3.0 but before windows 95 it looked like pixelated buttons or keyboard keys moving around the screen with a color ribbon behind it eventually covering the screen with colors.

[@ruairi_d]

My favourites are Bliss and Inside my computer.

[@somacruz8272]

Thinkpads need this

[@wadmodderschalton5763]

Many of those fan made wallpaper packs look like a bunch of low-budget attempts of remastering any of Microsoft's old Windows operating systems. (4:29) Now all we need is the OEM wallpapers from the Windows 3.1 to Windows 11 era preserved in a separate pack, where PC manufactures like HP, Dell, Toshiba and others had their own branding. Basically a similar project to the Ultimate Windows Wallpaper Pack.

[@FenneyZombies]

Hey if anyone is watching and if you watch at 5:06 to 5:08. the thumbs up bar lights up now. Is this a new feature???

[@andresbravo2003]

That's a lot of Windows Wallpapers. I should pick what I like to keep it or keep everything.

[@ChaseDJ549]

I wonder if they add wallpapers from various games like Bejeweled 2, Bejeweled 2 has very unique backgrounds and I would love to have them as my wallpaper.

[@Kurogane-san]

Can you make a video explaining the old Windows versions wallpapers? (3.0, 3.1, 95, 98...)

[@larrywhitney]

That's a lot to download

[@Baha2000]

I wouldnt mind watching a 2-3 hour long video of you exploring all of the wallpapers. Maybe make it one big long stream and then upload it.

[@winelectronic101]

Wow ... this even has stuff here not even in Sectorwire's version of the OSMK mockup kit, which is a huge collection of wallpapers and sounds not just from Windows, but also other operating systems (and also fanmade stuff as well) but while the total pack there is 15.85 GB only about 9 GB is actually the graphics. I wouldn't mind if the same developer started an Ultimate Windows sounds collection to compliment the wallpapers. I'd even be cool with an Ultimate windows Videos collection, but I don't think there's enough video files for something like that.

[@sectorwire]

*sigh*

[@sectorwire]

It's not 15.85GB anymore, plus that's the old version of Revan that you were referring to (which is 2.5 years out-of-date). The new one (Revan Zenith) has been already out for 3 months now.

[@winelectronic101]

​@@sectorwire Did you know you replied to a 1 year old comment? Thanks for the update anyway lol.

[@sectorwire]

@@winelectronic101 You're welcome. And yes, I know.

[@przrkprd]

it would be really useful for me cause recently I was working on a windows simulator for my silly little project for college. and btw I had to use random clouds picture for win98 lmao because I couldn't find it on Google too

[@BluewindsLegacy]

Windows 7 hands down had the best wallpapers IMHO.

[@sweetgirlguru]

Perfect for my videos!

[@paintbrush5296]

Lets hope longhorn wallpaers are added

[@Povilaz]

Very interesting!

[@Dlixer]

Michael, i will watch an entire video about wallpapers that is problably going to be 1 or 2 hours long because im really bored lol

[@airbikecop]

Is there a similar icon pack too?

[@ReubenBarker]

This is great.

[@meligarcia]

This sounds cool!

[@SyxxFtH8]

Nice.

[@KimSeiji]

THANKS

[@legotoughman5899]

When it's 12 Gigabytes of pictures, you know they ain't messing around!

I was hoping for the long form video .....please!!!

[@theawesometeg219]

oh my god i just saw that page!!

[@xDash3]

what cursor pack are you using?

[@asos_unofficial]

Nice stuff

[@xAlexandrr]

There is someone who made a pack full of PC OSes sounds like Windows,Mac Linux and more!!! There are sounds from beta OSes aswell

[@ThatRandomToast]

Possibly would be filled with many fake/incorrect sounds, just like most KZbin videos.

[@xAlexandrr]

It does have real sounds!!!

[@ThatRandomToast]

@@xAlexandrr Are you sure 👀the pack by ChancemanRox is the most accurate

[@ruinfox4108]

i would love this if i didnt already use Wallpaper Engine for my wallpaper

[@PlatinumGamingg]

To bypass the quota limit of mega just use a vpn

[@doomedtoobscurity3965]

How do I get it without going to deviant art lol

[@rishonjr1215]

Reaction when I Discovered this video:😳 Me goes to the description and downloads the 12 GB pack

[@CheddarVG]

Everyone is here!

[@MarkView64]

COOOL!

[@kernel_data_inpage_error]

Even microsoft themselves are using the nostalgia to bump up their marketing campaign, you can see bliss regularly on their posts

[@ChannelConnorsWinnipeg]

now do one for all MacOS, especially before X

[@SketchrA]

I never knew a collection of wallpapers could be more than 1GB

[@zlette]

44 following. 21.4k followers. *Follows you* I bet that's really nice to see...

[@EthanShnesy]

I actually noticed the pack is missing the Pride 2022 wallpapers.

[@ThatRandomToast]

Was that a thing? Currently, only Pride 2019 & 2020 themes exist on Microsoft Store.

[@EthanShnesy]

They didn’t make a theme. The wallpapers are on the Microsoft Pride website.

[@anthonycbudd]

Can you just do a video showing the wallpapers with some commentary?

[@sebasvegab3720]

Imagine having 3.1 wallpapers and windows 11 wallpapers

[@Pindu2018]

Nice bro

[@netheritecraftondrugs5126]

video idea: make windows 11 look like windows 8.1!

[@TheSUPERWIND2023]

God bless the Windows community.

[@Finnigannugg]

I tried to install on drive and it didn’t work so just use mega

[@ThatRandomToast]

This isn't an installer.

[@windowswoodsakawindowssr]

woah

[@JaysasterGaming]

Can't download it, too many people are downloading it.
