- Windows XP vs Vista vs 7 vs 8.1 vs 10 | Speed Test. A speed test of every generation of Windows since 2001. Will a different Windows version affect system performance or will it have no impact at all?
Running each operating system on the same exact hardware using a variety of different applications and tests, how well does each OS compare? Let's put that to the test!

I had this in my reccomended, and while watching this video I genuinely thought that this was a video made by a CZcamsr with ten thousands of subs or something like that, and to my suprise it has only 300 views. You deserve a lot more subs and views on this, and I'm pretty sure that it's gonna blow up some time later.
Thank you! That comment really made my day.
I just want to say, I'm here before it blows up

@Fat Dud windows xp is my childhood
Nice content. Million thumbs up
It would be hard to compare them based on the hardware, and software environment available in their era.
That's where we saw limitations. When I got my Vista laptop, 2GB DDR2 was common, and it didn't ruin well.
windows 7 still my favourite because of childhood memories

Same here
Same tho
My school had Windows Vista until 2019
I have windows 10 also but my favoriate is windows 7
I like how everyone’s least favourite, 8.1 actually won in most aspects. Shows how the OS itself is good but the start menu and gestures ruined it.
yep but atleast 8.1 tries to improve it a little bit
Windows 8.0 and 8.1 (without Update 3) has more bad gestures and has many missing feature that 8.1 Update 3 (the update that release in April 8, 2014) has.
I recently upgraded to win 8.1 64bit. The boot speed is faster than win 7 32bit 😁😁😁😁
@@babitayadav1975 Yeah, 64-Bit is way faster than 32-Bit.

About the Shutdown time:
Starting with Windows 8, Windows turns off your Laptop/PC Screen after it has done the most critical parts of the shutdown sequence, but is still running in the background, so for these Version you should've taken the time, once the LEDs on the Laptop stop being lit.
If we would take this measurement, then Windows 7 barely beats out Windows 10 in shutdown time, but Windows 8 is still the fastest from what I could tell
i also thought of that too but he replied and said "it's what the average Joe would do"
I remember my laptop's light being lit for a looooong time in 8 and 8.1
Yup, Windows 10 does too, Windows 10 take a lot of time to shut down even to sleep. Windows 7 won the last test and windows Vista 2nd.

I just realized something.
Windows 2000 got 4 service packs.
Windows XP got 3 service packs.
Windows Vista got 2 service packs.
Windows 7 got 1 service pack.
Windows 8 phased out service packs.
It's like every version of Windows from 2000 onwards was counting down to the discontinuation of service packs.
@Alexsandro preis dubinski While it is true that Windows 10 gets two major updates every year, they're not quite the same as service packs.
Microsoft intends for Windows 10 to be the final version of Windows, with biannual updates keeping it relevant. It's a similar system to that of macOS, which gets a major update every year, each one building upon the last.
Windows 10 feature updates are intended to fill the role of new releases and service packs simultaneously.
@Alexsandro preis dubinski lol, indeed
Windows 8 has 1 service pack but it's called Windows 8.1, and 8.1 Itself got a another Service Pack (Update 1) which basically an major update on April 8, 2014 (the EOS day for Windows XP) that added a titlebar to Metro (pre-UWP) Apps.
Windows NT 4.0 got 5 service packs.
@Senpai Darken It actually got 6, which is why I didn't include it.
Good work man.
Nice video!
Ironic the most underrated and totally failure Windows 8 is the more faster
Windows 8 - I disliked
Windows 8.1 - I was ambivalent
Windows 8.1 Update 1 - I liked

The most underrated systems are the fastest ones: Vista and 8.1 XD

Vista shit
overall the only bad thing about vista was bad drivers and program support but at the start it was kinda bad. I absolutely refuse to use 8 or 8.1 my main reasons: forcing tablet design and Microsoft store junk on us.

Hello
Wow this video is very helpful I can decide what is best for me.
Good job! Thanks.
Windows 8 just blacks the screen after clicking on Shut Down. Check the power light, it turned off on 8:18.
Win10's power light goes off at 8:24 actually.
@@BLOoMIND Thanks, I noticed it now.
It is because Win 10 and Win 8 do hibernation instead of real shutdown....To see the real timing one should turn off hibernation completely.....
And you can also see it when you restart cause both of them take way more time to restart than win 7
Edit:- That option is called Fast Startup...Its in the 'Choose what power buttons do'.....
One more thing.....Hibernation reduces SSD's lifespan...So its good to turn it off....
Thanks for reading
This is. Before doing this test, quick start should be disabled.

8.1 was so underrated. it integrated really well with Xbox 360 and was really fast. Full screen apps on desktop killed it though
Not just that, but Onedrive, and windows phone too. 8.1 had the best integration out of any OS Microsoft has released to date. I'd be willing to bet that people only hated it because the start menu was different.
@@anthonyscola6409 I think most of the hate was inherited from Windows 8.
@@anthonyscola6409 im a w8.1 and i agree that i dont like the start page/menu too
i organized all my apps and make it group very easily in window 8.1 i love it ;)
@@anthonyscola6409 I think Microsoft should update more features in window 8.1 and make it more fast :)
Shutdown: Windows 8+ is making the display black so it seems faster. Look at the Power/HDD LED for actual times.
Windows 10 did the same.
Very true
Windows 10 & 8 shutdown will not kill the complete memory stats for faster bootup in next start.. He should perform Restart.. Restart command will take time because it will kill all the background processes
@@Gokulcan Actually its was because of Fast boot feature introduced in Windows 8 (and still using on 10), it would actually close all programs and partially hibernate the OS. The Fast boot can be disabled in Power Options in Control Panel.
👍 Nice work
great video editing ever
Most interesting thing is that XP had such an amazing complex sound theme that even today every meme with windows sounds uses modem sounds or xp critical failure or shutdown sound. Today most of the audience uses W10, but somehow XP sounds made their way into the world of memes XD
I want my Windows XP back.
I am starting to dive into Linux distros because w10 is giving me a headache for anything else that is not gaming, at this point w10 is like my videogame console and then do the actual work on Mint
But I would be happy with a good distro camouflaged as Windows XP
I just want my XP noises back. I miss them. And that very very blue interface.
@@evep6886 You know you can customize the Windows System Sounds, and get programs to change the start menu.

me too. i have an old sony vaio laptop win xp sp3. it's kinda cool to be able to acces all theese modern websites with such an old machine
@Rauf Ibrahim You may try to install Firefox 52 or install Pale Moon browser (this browser is basically modified version of Firefox 50+ with old UI).
To install these browser, you have to use IE and go to i430vx.net/files/XP/RoyTam%20Browser%20Installer.exe and Run the exe, Install as normal, but you have to use number to choose, Remember to choose x86 browser so its would run.
Also, I have a Nlite'd Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 with full drivers on that iso, and possibly including IE8 on it too.
which browser do you use?
@Rauf Ibrahim how do u access modern websites?
@Rauf Ibrahim oh ok
Great keep it up.
Thank you for this
Tbf when Windows XP came out, all of this software and websites were lighter, so for the time it was very optimized.
I wonder if there's a way to get the light websites back, only with up to date content. Could that be done with something like the Wayback Machine or something else?
But at the time most people were using dial-up connection which was slow as hell so it cancels the lack of optimization.
@@LegoWormNoah101 i am now typing from a 2000's sony vaio laptop win xp sp3 with an older version of chrome. it can acces all modern websites but tbh is kinda slow with 1gb ram and an old intel cpu

@@Armanii2795 i think yea
Yeah XP probably suffered from lack of driver optimization as well as hitting the 32 bit limit. Back in the day, with the right hardware, it could be pretty snappy (after fully booting). Software development has gone pretty far in to the 64 bit realm so XP just isn't cut out for the load anymore.
Windows xp have 64 bit version, but most of the software doesn't support it and it is the only xp version that do not receive SP3 update
@@wilson228 Windows XP x64 is windows server 2003 underneath. The two operating systems are unrelated, the only similarity's aside from name, is the UI.
yes shit, but making desktop and tablet having the same UI was a
Honestly XP on anything more than a Core 2 Duo and 2GB ram, is extremely snappy and responsive. There is much less telemetry and bloat going on in the background, however performance will always also depend on the hardware, and as time goes by, OSes get harder to run. I was just surprised to see 7 lose the boot times, I was really expected vista or 8 to come last
@@MyArtificialNostalgia Yes one!
Great video wow nice
Thanks for your good video
wonder how different the story will be when moving to ssd
XP on SSD gonna be damn snappy. ^^ I mean the comparison in the video isn't quite fair. XP can only use half the memory because it's the 32bit version (it's limited to 4GB). It will probably have the most problems with the hardware as well. I had an XP laptop with only 512MB memory some time ago and it booted really fast because it just copied back an image of the memory from disk drive (pretty much like fast-boot in newer systems). The other versions of Windows couldn't even run on the same hardware.
Good point windows 10 would probably be decent wait till July 29th for windows 11 then try

DUDE. This video - amazing. I think it’s the greatest retro tech research I’ve ever seen on CZcams! I just loved how incredibly thorough you are - I have a job where if I did that kind of split screen over multiple versions, it would be the finest day’s work of professionally comparing performance between the closest equivalents possible. I *REALLY* like the way you went to the trouble of finding a single software version that could install on all platforms. Bravo!
thats good test 👍👍👍👍
Nice little cross comparison. Interesting results.
Thank you, thank you! I'm running W7, 8.1 and 10 (4 PCs) and recently stopped running XP because the hard rive gave out. My main use is office and files and nothing could beat XP. W10 is painfully slow and until I saw your test I was beginning to doubt my experience. I'm about to uninstall W10 and go back to 8.1 and your test confirms this. Interesting I've had to go on e-bay to get W8.1 and its noticeable that the prices for 7 and 8.1 and Office 2010, 2013 are going above those for newer software so a lot of people must be having similar experiences. Your sacrifice in making this video was not in vain!

Pretty good video.. thanks :) btw, 2 or more test runs would've been more accurate ig.. cuz some app loading time depended on cache/superfetch, ig..
That was pretty interesting. I figured the newer OS would be the slowest considering how much more bloated they can be.
I would have liked you to search for a fileor folder and see how long it takes to locate it. I'm guessing Win 10 would have won, and 8.1 comes in 2nd .... I just remember that Win 7 took forever to locate a file on the HD... so the newer OS the better the speed for that particular function.

Well done for sticking with it, but your first test startup didn't take into account that you can't really use win 10 or 11 for ages after it appears to have started, at least on the machines I have tried. Hibernate might have been a another comparison for start-up and shutdown.
