Seeing WinXP reminds me of how Windows and even Office 2003-2010 used to have a friendly and welcoming aesthetic. Modern Windows looks very cold, serious, even soul-less. Hell, even the Windows logo no longer has multiple colors, just solid blue.
"refinement culture"
Windows has become even more colder thats why win7 will be the last true windows until the windows that is not cold and is better than evwn 7
Modern windows has become a nightmare since 10 in my opinion.
@@9852323 exactly windows 7 was the last windows just like how iphone 4 was the last iphone to some people
@@9852323 The only thing I liked about Win10 was that I rarely had to hunt for drivers. Other than that, I agree it's been a shitshow.
I miss walking into Gamestop as a kid being an adult sucks dude it's not what it used to be anymore everything has just gotten way too damn expensive glad to see someone using Windows XP without people attacking you over it I'm running with Garuda Linux right now.
2024, and i still use XP on my toughbook that was designed for 7
Yes, I was about to say that XP had support on Intel CPUs up until 3rd gen. and regarding AMD, they supported XP up to the FX series CPUs. I have 2 PCs that triple boot, XP, win 7 and 10. and 2 that dual boot into XP, or 10. I call it the hardware sweet spot.
4th gen was the last to support xp.
@@9852323 if so, then it was unofficial.
Many games are on steam now and if you run Pop os it just works with steam and proton.
haswell systems can support windows xp just fine , i currently have xp on a hp workstation with a core i5 4670 and a lenovo sff pc with a core i3 4360 which is a haswell refresh i3 did not have a single issue installing both just had to put ide mode in bios and it installed just as easy as it would on a pentium 4 system
I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop with Win XP, 32 bit. Have been able to get many updates installed, but I suspect there are more available. How do I find the updates? "Legacy Update" doesn't work. The proprietary Toshiba drivers are unavailable. Tried starting from scratch, but without the drivers, nothing works right.
firing up the old emachiones t5026.. lol thinking today i'll get a old xp of photoshop installed on it perhaps. recently took a soldering iron to burn off the back of the systems lone pcieX1 slot so i could atleast install a hd4670 into it.. allbeit only at x1 speeds... but its still better then the fx5200
Bro why are you using windows xp? Switch to Linux or use a modern version of windows lol. Theres NO POINT in using windows xp anymore
Nobody cares, Windows 11 sucks ass
@@FoxiiFoxii128 good luck getting hacked lol
@@Mario-zi8wrif you aren’t a dumbass and don’t put important files and are smart on the internet you should be fine
3 months ago I re-installed XP on my old Pentium D system which I upgraded with an SSD. I was able to get the license activated using Legacy Update. It's a fantastic tool and it is totally free.
XP is one of my favorite OS. Now I have to go to my garage to get out my old XP system and laptop and re-install Diablo, Diablo 2, Warcraft 2, and Starcraft on it. Such great games and era. Like you I could play these games for days.
I kept ALL of my old computers. XT, 386 laptop, IBM Aptiva 200MMX, 2x AMD K6-2 chips, 3 Super7 mobos, 1x Slot P3 933Mhz system, a few other randoms systems and a MSI K9ND Speedster2 system with a pair of Opteron 2431 cpu's and 32gb ram.
There is something about using XP in 2024 and watch video about using XP in 2024, I like it. Btw, I also use Lenovo laptop, haha.
Awesome video! I used to have a Lenovo y580 with the 660m, i7, and max ram it support. That was a great laptop. Ended up selling it for something much smaller. Seeing your laptop was a wave of nostalgia.
I have Windows XP on a Core i3 HP 8200 Elite with a GeForce GT 730 to play Star Trek Legacy
That old EA logo just hits different man. I mostly remember it from the old Harry Potter games.
Great video. I built an xp computer recently for my kids to play a bunch of my games. I used a 3rd gen i5 and 730. The 3rd gen Intel was the newest processor still containing XP microcode and the NVIDIA 700-series cards were the newest card with XP drivers. My 6 year old LOVEs command and concquer generals. I used a version of XP (maybe the same as yours) with updated SATA, NIC and other drivers. I think a lot of games like these would be great ports onto something like a chrome book.
Make it a series because I have some DOS and Windows 3.1 games.
Actually the GTX 970 has a native XP driver, but not the 980 or higher. Strange, I know, but yeah. Technically you can patch the GTX 980 to work with the same driver that the 970 uses and it will work.
@xPLAYnOfficial @xPLAYnOfficial I didn't know that. All the XP drivers I found ended at the 700 series cards. Either way, no issues playing XP games.
@@pkt1213 I have a 3770K + 780Ti system on XP x64 2003 Edition, among other OS, so I share your sentiment :D
@xPLAYnOfficial my kids love the play. It isn't online so I am happy.
@@pkt1213 XP is honestly a great experience for multimedia. XP Media Center Edition continues to be a product that I am still impressed with even despite its faults.
Very cool. Thanks for making this! TIP - If you patched/updated XP 64bit ISO, then you could address all 16gig of RAM. Here's a video on how to make such an iso... th-cam.com/video/XU32zx2s1Rk/w-d-xo.html
Another iteration of XP should be released. On an SSD and modernized but staying true to its GUI and functionality.
What happens if I install this on a ryzen 7000 laptop with 8 Gigs of RAM?
Load the Lenovo update manager and you should be able ro get those drivers
One day you logged off for the last time :...(
Most of my games are from the WinXP age
we need x64
XP 64bit will see up to 16gb of RAM, might be 8 but i believe it was 16gb.
I have 32gb of DDR3 on my AM3+ ASROCK 980GX-Extreme4 mainboard and windows XP 64bit sees all 32 gigabytes. It also sees all 8 CPU cores. 32bit Windows XP can see all 8 CPU cores also but it can only see 4 gigabytes of memory.
Stick a 4090 in the xp machine 😂😂😂😂
On ATA-SATA disks, XP cannot be installed without its drivers. it's a problem, it doesn't recognize the disk.
Windows 98 please
The cost of parts for one of those older systems may vary. I just upgraded my Core2 Duo machine from an E4600 to an E8600 for roughly $50. This is a pretty big deal because the E8600 is faster (3.3 GHz vs. 2.4 GHz) has three times the L2 cache (6MB vs. 2MB) and supports a faster Front Side Bus (1333 MHz vs. 800 MHz).
either you're on 16bit color, or the lcd is showing you more than your encoding rig's lcd. Windows 10 defaults to 32bit color.
yep for old games i use
i7 3770 at 4ghz
2x4gb ram
os wise i dualboot winxp and 10 on 480 gb ssd
gpu 650 ti 1gb (yes its not a beast but does the job)
2tb hdd for mass storage
this pc runs almost any winxp era games at max settigns
good to see slip stream driver install - run a virtual cd so you can just rip iso and mount them via extra meme that is ramdisk, also install old office and lastly think about imaging this and running on a vm in qemu? it may help performance a bit? xp and retro cliche in this video made for good content. pls think about doing content on a pkt cap /ids/ips box using malcolm/sec onion or selks - small biz need 24/7 pkt cap for audit trails even if they don't have enough money to run noc/soc, the other thing is maybe try using 2 dual port 40g cards (or 3) and do 80 bonded nic to your nas or 40g to dual nas - again this would be a thing that many many smb could and should use for mission critical data and just to save time...you have to change mtu and you will get full speed but you may have to look at different nvme to sustain big data transfers or goto raid arrays? get the 56g cards to do 40gbe may be only caveat - dual port 40g are like 40 bucks on ebay and transceivers are 30? you may just be able to use fiber or dac
@novaspirittech thanks for the video, you mentioned you could not get USB 3.0 to work without the specific driver. Where you able to get USB 3.0 to work afterwards?
If not, were the USB ports not working at all then?
thanks
I set up something similar for my son the games are dead cheap and surprisingly the games seem better now then they was then . The way around the xp glitch generally is to create a boot supported hard drive on a xp machine the drivers can be a issue . But use a driver software to find them it can at least get you up and running .I have a switch on my pc running multiple drives windows xp and even android as we have a touchscreen . The retro stuff is brilliant 👍🏻 absolutely you have a new fan
I play those games and Lord of the Realm on Windows 11. The graphics card driver translates from 4k to 640 x 480 and the sound system translates the sound!
Why didn't u use 64gb windows xp :/
and you can even get windows update up and running for all the xp goodness 😂
can we install windows xp with usb nowadays?
Yes, it is good to get old games running on Windows XP compatible system. How about trying to get an old Windows XP era 2GB Ram Pentium M and Geforce Go 6800 Ultra/7800 GTX running Linux and playing those Windows XP games. :)
Why linux..
Dude, windows xp is killing ssd!!!
after see your videos, i install xp 64 on my toshiba l45 (i5 first gen - 6gb ram) not for nostalgia but becouse i love the boot screen 😂
gues what, my canon bjc 1000 live again!
*sorry for my english im from bandung-indonesia
I wonder does Wine provide a WinXP emulation? What was a purpose to use a real hardware?
I believe it does.
Real hardware is just plain better and so easy to get.
I'm going to guess that you are an Aquarius.
Did you try the 64-bit version of XP ?
Thanks Don.
Great video! There is hope for Wolfenstein? lol.
Have you tried using Wine for playing those games on Linux? I believe it totally depends on vídeo card support. I found my old original starcraft brood War and decided to go this route, but my old i3 with Intel gfx is too slow, so I am researching for a better solution, could be using w98 vm only for this. Anyway, nice video as usual and do a series for this.
That's a very good question. I am not nearly good enough at tweaking WINE. I need to spend more time on it when I am not under a timeline. Unfortunately (my own fault) I only turn to WINE when everything else in my mental toolkit has failed and I am stressed. I need to spend a weekend just srewing around with nothing to do. Yeah, that'll happen soon! HAHAHA
Try Windows XP Integral Edition
I wish I could play again Microprose GP500! I think it used some weird 3D card so it's not very compatible as far as I know... I even tried it on Linux, but to no avail.
Since there was no advanement in Windows anymore since Vista, Windows XP actually still is current. They only need to add DX12 and new drivers to have a great OS, instead of that utterly crippled Kiosk-mode shit they are trying to make people use now.
@novaspirittech, I wonder; if you play a whole video of your channel, in your video, would YT ding you for using someone’s video? Or would you be able to give yourself permission?
A msdos rig!
nostalgia
Thanks!
First 😂
