In this video I installed Windows 3.1 then upgraded it to Windows XP in 11 minutes.

It's so epic to see this update progress in 2023.

You installed Windows 3.1, then did clean install, then upgraded from Windows 95 to me, then clean install

[@Puppet60e]

Yes I did clean install Windows 95 but it was only because I didn’t have the floppy version of the Windows 95 upgrade cd. And the Windows 95 upgrade cd I had didn’t work because neither MS Dos or Windows 3.1 natively support cd’s
But for Windows XP there is no upgrade cd that I could find, only the regular disk and if you look at 08:53 you would see that Windows ME throws an error saying “This version of Windows cannot be installed on this architecture.

@@Puppet60e 1. For MS-DOS you could install a CD driver
2. Regular Windows XP CD *IS* an upgrade CD
3. It's impossible to upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit so you should use normal Windows XP CD, not x64

[@Puppet60e]

@ivancomp_inside I used an x64 cd because I wanted to use that Windows XP copy for a future video and I needed x64.
I am pretty sure Virtual Box comes with that driver but I don’t think I ever got it to work. Every time I inserted the Windows 95 upgrade cd it would just say it is not a bootable disk and put me in MS Dos.

@@Puppet60e then you should name your video UPGRADING, lol.

​@@Puppet60e x64 Is a very special version, it can't be installed with an upgrade and it can't be upgraded to Windows Vista

NICE

7:29 Was a little dissapointed when saw VirtualBox screen. Thought that you're doing it on a real machine )

[@Puppet60e]

I am surprised you didn't notice it sooner. Although I am afraid that doing this upgrade would be nearly impossible on a real computer.

Nuh uh no way no ai images in my windows xp update process, shame on you

[@Puppet60e]

There isn’t any ai images inside the video, if you are talking about the little recommended video in the top right that was a regular image I made by taking 2 screenshots and putting them together. If you are talking about this videos thumbnail yes it was ai generated.
