This is the upgrade History from Windows 1 to 8!
I installed MS-DOS 6.22 first and added Wolfenstein 3d as a test for the compatibility.
Steps i did:
1. Install MS-DOS 6.22
2. Install Wolfenstein 3d as a test
3. Install Windows 1.01
3. Upgrade to Windows 2.03
4. Upgrade to Windows 3.0
5. Upgrade to Windows 3.11
6. Upgrade to Windows 95 (Used Upgrade Version)
7. Upgrade to Windows 98 (Used Upgrade Version)
8. Converted file system to FAT32
9. Upgrade to Windows ME (Used Upgrade Version)
(could have replace this with 2000, but choosed ME for faster install! ME and 2000 won't work!)
10. Resized Partition with Linux Live System to 40GB
11. Upgrade to Windows XP
12. Converted the file system to NTFS
13. Upgrade to Windows Vista
14. Upgrade to Windows 7
15. Upgrade to Windows 8
Interesting things:
The Volume Label is still MS-DOS_6 as it was setted while installing DOS.
The color settings from Win 3 were saved until the XP Upgrade.
The keyboard code, which was set in windows 2 install remained all the time.
Wolf3d shortcut which was setted in windows 95 remaind all the time.
Windows 3.11 Username & Company stayed till XP Upgrade.
The MS-DOS Folder still exsist//Some DOS Programs do work.
The Programs from Windows 2 & 3 still work.
Windows 8 seems to be the first version which does not support Wolfenstein 3D
You are unable to update without having a Linux liveCD at hand for resizing the windows partition
The video at some point shows the most well-known feature of Windows, the blue screen of death, even if the only thing the user did was to start windows and start the upgrade.
If someone cares about the size after upgrading (goo.gl/jbNN8h)
Here the keys goo.gl/HnLux2 (Won't work online!)
.iso's & .flp's till ME from goo.gl/reGfAw
Please give this video a little feedback!
VMware 8 was used as the Virtual Machine! (As it captures the screen)
Windows 1.01 UI wasn't recorded for some reason. - Věda a technologie

@@BigOlSmellyFlashlight I guess someone can't add a period.
I always thought that early phase of the Windows XP install looked interesting.
Then I realised that it was Windows ME trying to display it in 16 colours.
No, XP first just uses a basic GPU driver with 16 colors,and 640x480 resolution for the setup. After that, it installs a more advanced driver with higher resolution and more colors.
I kind of miss Windows Vista, it looked very elegant.
+M. V. Shooting but had xp files
+NO “The Gam3R” NAME It wasn't actually, it's just that so many people who didn't know what they were talking about called it rubbish that other people did to. I have actually used Windows Vista [On a DECENT PC] and it is basically as good as Windows 7.

@@someguystudios23 actually, those sounds you are thinking of are fake and we're never used in any build of longhorn. Longhorn used xp sounds until 5840.16384 and build 5840.16389 replaced them with the final sounds.

You can't downgrade from XP to Vista.
Alexandre Silva Because Professional to Home Premium

Vista SP2 is good when run on something that ISN'T a potato *cough cough* OEMs shipped Vista PCs with only 512 megs of RAM so that's one of the reasons it was so slow lol

I loved my old computer. Back in 2011, I was a little 3 year old. While my brothers were at school, my mom would get me on the computer, and I’d play games from pbs kids all day long. We were using windows 7, and I used to think it was like the coolest thing to ever come into my life
Windows XP was my favorite thing back in 2001 the re acquainted with it back in 2011 the last time I used Windows XP when it could be used online was February of 2016

For me it was during my good old school days.
XP is Nostalgia 💔
I watched this in 2015 and i went back to feel the nostaliga.. and man did it ever feel good.
A trip down memory lane. Brings back good memories.
I love Windows 95. The first desktop OS I've ever used. Then 98, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and finally 10.
my first os was XP. Still have fond memories of me making custom knight rider boot animation and lock screen background (wasn't possible to change it back then). Also got KITT & KARR screensavers that work on any version of Windows. Then came 7 and then 10 last year.
I remember watching this

Thats 4:35 not 4 min
@@balintgorbe81 nevermind, nothing interesting on last 35 seconds. First 4 minutes is actually a history of IT life.
History of our life
XP and 7 had the best colors and soft aesthetic appeal. After that, it just hurts to look at the high contrast downgrade.
Oh. A BSOD in Windows 98! Surely upgrading to ME will fix that!
Give 8.1 a try. It fixes a lot of what people don't like about 8, and it runs beautifully compared to 7. Sure, the start menu sucks, but with how much time you spend within the start menu, it's not so bad.
This is the short version of an older video. At the time 8.1 wasn't out yet AFAIK
I know your comment is from before Windows 10 came out, and I too didn't have much of a problem with 8.1. But now that I've upgraded to 10, I now cannot stand Windows 8 or 8.1. I don't know how I lived without the Start menu.
Windows 98 Plug And Play Bios Wrong
WeWiiIsmael Classic Shell is dead because the developer has little free time, Windows 10 updates too frequently, always breaking something related to Classic Shell (between other things), and because new Windows versions are moving away from the Win32 way, and apps.
My laptop upgraded from 8 to 8.1 without my permission, and became impossible to boot. I was using dual boot and the upgrade messed up my mbr. Only way out was to revert to factory setting
the windows 7 startup was perfectly synchronized with music, it was like "IT'S POSSIBLE"
And they said that time travel is impossible...
WHERE ARE THEM XP LOVERS AT????!!!!
Me!
Here!
Not me, i hate windows
Me, have it still...
Windows XP I love Windows XP
What seals the deal for me with how good Windows 7 is the fact that Windows 7 is compatible with most very old programs
How such a video have all these memories. It is both nostalgic and sad
I loved windows XP
All I can say is...WOW!!!
I really miss the Windows 95 menus, icons and sounds. I still like to boot up Virtual Machine to use it.
I remember the transition to Windows XP. Revolutionary.
The music is just fit in this video, so much memories
for me windows xp is so nostalgic
Why did you hide the Win7 product key when all the other ones were visible?
He used his own.
It’s illegal to get a windows 7 product key for free
Yeah, so is for any other OS.
@Classic Guy
not true if the OS is obsolete
i mean unsupported
I can't believe all of these windows versions have reached EoL
Really well done! Maybe add in the Windows 10 upgrade too
If you ask me, he should've stayed on Windows XP. 😉
True that. 😃

THANK YOU VOLTAGE FOR THE 98 UPGRADE EDITION PRODUCT KEY
Windows 95 is a nostalgic operating system
Windows XP and 7 ...... 👍
1:50 this is what i came for
Literally inspired me to do the same thing, to varying degrees of success. I even managed to go to 10 once.
I didnt expect to have that much nostalgia for Windows 95 and 98.
When I am about to die and my whole life flashes in front of me, this is what I want to see. *cries in nostalgia* :')
Windows 7 was the last legacy windows os, that explains Wolf3d?
Windows 7 32-bit was the last to support 16-bit applications. Windows 7 64-bit removed 16-bit compatiblilty.
@@ClassicGuy I wish they didnt
We need to make this a speedrun
Wolfenstein 3D in the first second, and Fred V & Grafix in the background. I like!
I think my own upgrade path went: CP/M > MS-DOS 4 > MS-DOS 6 > Win95 > Win98se > Win2k > XP > Win7
2k is the best compromise between usefulness and stability, based as it is in NT. In fact, if it had better 64bit driver support, I might still be using it instead of win7. When win7 goes out of active support next year, it's the end of the line for me. I'll probably switch to Debian.
I want to see an updated one that goes like this:
- MS-DOS
- Windows 1.0
- Windows 2.0
- Windows 3.0
- Windows 3.1
- Windows 95
- Windows NT 4.0
- Windows 98/SE
- Windows NT 5.0
- Windows 2000
- Windows Powered
- Windows ME
- Windows XP
- Windows Server 2003
- Windows Longhorn (One of the builds)
- Windows Vista
- Windows Server 2008
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows 8
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 10
- Windows Server 2016
- Windows Server 2019

I still have a computer running vista, i only use it to play older games and for nolstalga factor
+Brandon hay Misery is not nostalgia.
Windows XP, so beautiful
I loved vista. I love it's design to this day!
I don't think, that Vista is bad OS or it sucks. The way it works depends on what kind of computer you run it. For example few years ago i had PC, that was dedicated for Vista and worked pretty well with Vista, also as i was reinstalling it, Aero was on by default and it worked surprisingly good without driver installed.
XP and 7 are comfirmed to be the best OS's of all time. Vista crashed a fucking lot
Dependng on machine you run Vista at. Really, i had Dell designed for Vista and it did NOT crash at all.
Vista was really bad when it comes to memory management, which is what causes most of the BSoD's.
Jason Lee SP2 was stable.
I agree. Most people claimed performance was poor because OEMs shipped the more demanding versions of Vista (Home Premium, Pro, Ultimate instead of Starter and Home Basic) on PCs with frickin' _512 MB of RAM_ and because of the new memory management model.
Who Else Still Using Windows XP Or 7 on 2019?
Geneross YT I use 7 but support ending :(
Ending?
I use 7.
Might use thirdparty upgrades lol

My parents still use windows xp 😂
now that we made Windows happy and grow fast lets try to make it 9
I don't know why ,but I really love this video.

Technically making window 98 to window 8 is degrading 😂😂
Edit. Don't take it seriously I was kidding
RaviGuitar doesn’t matter if you’re kidding, it’s still the truth
The speedrun community would love this.
Surprising that Windows ME didn’t crash during setup. It’s REALLY unstable, the opposite of Windows 2000, which is TOO unstable.
