Windows Counts From 1 to 10 (Not really) - Upgrading from Windows 1 to 10

- Figured with the impending release of Windows 10 that an updated version of this type of video was in order. This upgrade path goes through each version of Windows from 1.03 to 10 build 10162 to show how Windows has evolved over time. I run Reversi after each upgrade (and other apps after Windows 8) to check compatibility with old built-in Windows apps.
Upgrade Path:
MS-DOS 6.22
Windows 1.03
Windows 2.03
Windows 3.0
Windows For Workgroups 3.11
Windows 95 OSR 2.5
Windows 98 SE
Windows Me
Windows 2000 Professional SP4
Windows XP Professional SP3
Windows Vista Business
Windows 7 Professional
Windows 8 Pro
Windows 8.1 Pro
Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview Build 10162
Notes:
-Errors pop up on the DOS prompt for the install disk. This is probably because the disk images I used were ones I ripped myself from my own DOS install disks and must be something extra that the OEM put in the boot process, but otherwise DOS installs normally.
-Some people doing these videos omit the possible upgrade from Me to 2000, so I show that off to show that it is possible. It also had the benefit of converting the hard drive to NTFS during setup so I didn't have to do that manually in XP.
-Between XP and Vista, the RAM was increased from 256MB to 2GB due to Vista's higher memory requirements and 9x's inability to boot when more than 480MB of RAM is installed. In addition, GParted was used to expand the NTFS volume due to Vista's higher size requirements and the fact that the initially FAT16 volume had a limit of 2GB as a partition size.
-Some hardware settings in VirtualBox were swapped before installing Vista because the default hardware settings for sound and networking for early versions of Windows are, not surprisingly, not compatible with Vista out-of-the-box.
-Vista SP1 had to be installed since Vista can only be upgraded to 7 if SP1 is installed and the ISO I found was vanilla Vista.
-Windows 8 had to be a clean install due to the upgrade mode for it (and 8.1) refusing to work with VirtualBox and VMWare (black screen after the second reboot).
-Yes, I know build 10240 is out, but there aren't any ISOs for it and was only meant to be installed via Windows Update right now.
-Some parts where I enter a CD key are cut out because they are legitimate CD keys I own and don't want out revealed to the internet for obvious reasons.
-Yes, I know I suck at Reversi. It also doesn't help that even on Beginner the AI is ruthlessly hard.
After installing Windows 10, the video speed is set to normal speed to show older Windows applications from earlier versions of Windows and even DOS running in Windows 10 and seeing if they still work. This is also in a separate video that I uploaded for people who only care about that.
No music in this video since I don't want the copyright police breathing down my neck and figured that most people can just overlay their own music to this. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this trip down memory lane. - Věda a technologie

You cant upgrade ME to 2000.
Colombian Mapper Well he did so...........
He is on virtual box
Colombian Mapper ME to 2000 is possible. formatting FAT32 to NTFS and Staying with NTFS is a trick
Win1.x-WinME applications will still function.
thats to fast!
Fun fact
I beat Reversi
that's a copy of my video :p
Your video was uploaded 4 years ago,while this one was uploaded 5 years ago..and from what i do know,the sequence is 4-5,and not 5-4.
