Windows 7 - 11 Upgrade Timelapse on a Mac!

In this video I will be performing a Windows 7 to Windows 11 upgrade Timelapse on a Mac mini, which counts as real hardware rather than a virtual machine! An Elgato HD Capture Card was used to record this video, and native Boot Camp (Legacy BIOS) is used to run all Windows versions.
The actual process took almost 7 hours to complete!
Timestamps:
00:00 - Intro + Boot Camp (Mac) Control Panel
00:38 - Windows 7 to Windows 8
04:04 - Windows 8 to Windows 8.1
07:50 - Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 RTM
13:20 - Windows 10 RTM to Windows 10 2022 Update
16:15 - Windows 10 22H2 to Windows 11 22H2

Fun fact: The blue waiting screen after the OOBE in Windows 11 is actually the system generating the wallpaper!

Isn't it just an image?

Now the Mac can natively run Windows 7. I can now say that Mac is good for you if you like Windows 7. Sadly i don't have a Mac. I tried installing Win7 on a 2 year old Coffee lake desktop which has a hdd and i am having issues with GPU Drivers. The 2 year old desktop can also run Windows 8.1 and it's fine just GPU is a problem but unlike in Win7 in Win8.1 The basic display isn't a big problem. Since Windows live movie maker can run on Win8 and new with software rendering unlike Win7 which blocks it entirely. Luckily i have a 1 year old broadwell laptop that has an ssd. I just installed Win7 on a broadwell laptop on to it's secondary partition

[@windows_11.flopparuns]

you can only install windows 10 nativly on mac and it wont accept any other isos. however if you have a outdated intel mac, running os x yosemite or maybe el capitan, it will say insert win7 iso. newest intel macs say insert windows 10 iso. But, if you install windows 10 on a new/old intel mac running catalina, big sur, monterey or maybe older, do NOT downgrade to windows 7. It will result in loosing all your drives, amd/nvidia apps, and if your mac has a touchbar, it will be black and your keyboard and trackpad wont work. I know this because i already tried it.

[@waynenathanieltheanimator]

@@windows_11.flopparuns What about Windows 8.1

[@waynenathanieltheanimator]

@@windows_11.flopparuns I get Windows 7 working successfully on a Intel Coffee Lake but GPU is a pain

[@waynenathanieltheanimator]

I see some forums saying they also got Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 working on intel alder lake which is known as Intel 12th Gen

[@NobelTech]

This Mac mini is from 2010. Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard were the flagship systems at the time.

[@NS_595]

Can you do Windows RT (8) Build 8422 demo?

[@Big-Chungus21]

Some people could have actually done this too. The earliest Intel CPUs that can run Windows 11 were made in 2017 I think. Of course Windows 10 was almost always preinstalled on computers back then, but it would have been possible for someone to have reverted it back to windows 7, since it still had another 3 years of support, and even in 2017 people were somewhat unhappy with Windows 10 performance and appearance. Personally I still think Windows 10 is the worst looking recent Windows operating system, I miss the aero theme a lot.

[@adithyanss6989]

They did bring back some elements of aero in Win11, though. Like aero gestures, transparent windows etc.

[@CC-127]

Once when I installed Windows 11 on my 2006 iMac I made another partition for it with the bypass until it blue screened after the bootcamp driver installation.

[@tinyahhquarks]

oh...

[@user-ph6ew9ri5q]

I tried windows 11 21H2 it gives me bsod every time

Btw can i ask u why when i burn iso in my bootable USB it looks like it starts windows 8.1 when injecting it in the pc and restarting

[@anywaytechreview]

he went to windows 10 windows 8 has full screen start menu

[@waynenathanieltheanimator]

@@anywaytechreview I don't think the Full screen start menu is bad. I found it more productive because it makes me faster using Windows with it full screen. Opinion respected if you dislike that

[@elijahtorres2688]

@@mvcs3385 although 8 & 8.1 were a confusing mess… they did ran pretty damn well, and looked a bit more colorful and appealing than 10 in some ways (10 looked more dull in some ways). Windows 8 wasn’t totally terrible, especially if you had a Table/Touch PC.

[@vealcogaming]

It ended with a bsod bc windows 11 was missing files, corrupted files, damaged files. You might have to repair it or reinstall windows 10 or other versions. Windows 11 can be very unstable. Thats why.

No, IMO cuz the CPU is very old
