Muta: blurs out filling in the Win98 license key

Muta moment
I was thinking the same thing. Why even blur the code? So someone doesn't get a free windows 98 key??
kinda wondering the same thing. afaik windows 98 is considered abandonware, so there's kinda no reason to blur it. but oh well
I believe he doesnt want to self incriminate by documenting entering a generated i.e. not paid for key. Just good practice. He doesnt care if you see the generated key elsewhere. Blurring the action leaves him with a level of plausible deniability against the key he entered being generated.
Muta is a great example of a content creator. Like wtf he just went over all the versions of Windows for 40 mins.

Yeah.

as a poor kid windows 8.1 ran on literally anything and upgrading to windows 10 nearly bricked my 4gb ram laptop, other than that I can see why you dislike it
the good thing is that you can't brick computers since you can just reinstall, you can only brick if you mess / update bios but never by reinstalling an os with right drivers
This. Windows 8.1 is surprisingly lightweight and efficient, almost as much as Windows 7. I'm using a shitty prebuilt from 2007 and it runs pretty well. I would run 7 but I use 2 monitors and 8.1 has better support for multi-monitor setups.

"It looks like you're writing a letter" - Since we're being all nostalgic
Great trip down memory lane. Gave me flashbacks to playing Transport Tycoon and Command & Conquer on MS-DOS; making new folders and changing icons on 3.11 and feeling like a pro; having my mind blown when I first saw 95's interface; taking my first steps on the internet on 98; running ME on my first personally owned system; having my mind blown (again) by XP's interface, trying out and talking about Longhorn (Vista) with my friends when it leaked (again, feeling like a pro), running 7 for too long because of 8's "Metro" interface and finally upgrading to 8.1/10 because everyone dropped support for 7.
Fun times. Thank you very much, Muta.
I have to bitch about few things though:
5:00 This low? Those specs are pretty damn high. 2GB max partition size is some serious 80's futureproofing. Consumer level hardware from the late 80's would've been a 5-20MB HDD, 1-4MB RAM, a 10-30Mhz CPU and a sound card if you could afford one.
27:00 I get the point and I remember there being a lot of drama when the first dual core CPU's got introduced, but cores and threads aren't the same thing. Single cores ran multiple threads (Intel called it Hyperthreading I believe).
I remember when i got my xp parts I got 1GB of ram and the dude in the shop said "why do you want 1 gig ? you don't need that much"
Now a days that is how much chrome needs just to hold like 4 tabs
XP is painful to use on less than 512mb, I tried it back in the day with 384mb on a Pentium 3 system and had to go back to Windows 2000. A co worker got it running on a P4 system with 256mb of Rambus though. That being said most XP systems won't get to 4GB of ram due to hardware limits and the OS maxing at 3.5GB unless you are running XP 64 bit edition on an AMD Athlon 64bit or newer cpu.
Windows 7 was the last system designed with desktops in mind. I miss it.
Same, that was a great OS.

Awesome video, but it wasn't what I expected from the title. Not exactly sure what I expected from the title, but that was a great concept for a video, seeing if you can upgrade a continuous system from the first iteration of windows to the latest. Great explanation of it all too!
Came for some ordinary games, left with some OS knowledge lol

I really wish that Microsoft gave us themes on Windows 10 that were stylized to older versions of windows as part of its 35th year anniversary. It would be really cool to use Windows 7 theming or at least aero glass in Windows 10 (officially)
Same, Windows Vista - 7 kinda had it because classic mode was a thing but they removed it because of the Metro stuff. Aero still looks nice imo

22:50 I actually did this exact process not long ago for a Windows 10 VM. For some reason Windows 10 decided it needed to place the recovery partition directly to the right of the C partition when it was installed, so even if you expand the hard drive Windows 10's built in partition manager could not actually expand the C partition. Now, once I actually fixed and expanded the partitions with GParted Windows 10 decided that the hard drive was corrupted and that it really wanted to do a disk check every time I started the VM, but if I ever forgot to interrupt that and make it just boot up then the disk checker would completely brick my VM (luckily I had made a backup before making this discovery). I never was able to find a fix for that either, so thanks Microsoft! I just love that you took care to include tools in Windows that will automatically brick my PC!

I did something similar. I used my old IBM Aptiva 2168-62P Recovery CD to install PC-DOS 6.0 with Win 3.1. I upgraded the DOS to PC-DOS 7 and WFW 3.11. Installed WinG, Comet Busters, All of the Windows Entertainment and 16-bit arcade packs. Then, I upgraded this to Win 95 OSR2.1. Installed the 32-bit arcade packs. Used Norton Ghost to convert the FAT16 drive to FAT32 and then imaged it to a larger drive. I installed Rudolph Loews Big Disk and Large Memory Patches. Installed the I.E. 4.01 with Active Desktop Update. Installed Plus 95. Then I upgraded 95 to 98 and then 98 to 98SE. Installed Plus 98. I installed the K6-2 patch to allow multi GHz CPUs. Upgraded to Win ME (there was no ME Plus pack). Finally upgraded to Windows XP and installed XP Plus. All of this was done on a Gigabyte Pentium 3 Mobo with a 1GHz P3. It was a MESS! But I enjoyed every minute of it (this was in 2010). I have since lost my Aptiva Recovery CD and I would gladly purchase a replacement for that CD if I could find it. That setup allowed my XP to have all previous plus pack enhancements in addition to XP Plus but it was "naughty"
I like how the notepad with the cd keys was not blurred but the field to enter the key in was blurred. :D

"Yeah that was perfect for the people who were on the Surface Tablet"
As an owner of a Surface Tablet, no, it was dreadful. You were better off installing Windows 7 on the damn tablet, it was much more stable, much better supported by touchscreen and digitiser drivers, and if you wanted to hook the tablet up to a second screen and pretend it's a desktop PC, like many of us did when not on the road, you NEEDED windows 7 because you lost the ability to use the touchscreen the second you plugged in that HDMI cable. Windows 10's optional "tablet mode" is the only reason Surface Tablets still live on to this day.
It would be better for everyone if they made desktop appropriate Windows operating systems again and stop trying to make them look like tablet interfaces!

About Vista, my uncle had a small ict company and he gave me a fairly good pc to run it on. You could notice the preformance difference. A great area in time
This was really fun to watch - a great trip down memory lane!
My life with my own PCs went from Win3.11 all the way through Win10 (although I started with an Apple IIc, and I got to use a Win2.0 machine at my neighbour’s house), and honestly Win98, 2000, and XP still are my favourites. 98 is the most stable OS I’ve experienced in my life, and it had amazing functionality for the era. I miss DOS, now. A lot. Back then, I actually knew how to *use* my computer and play with the bios/drivers, some simple programming, and having fun with my charming 14.4 dial up modem, as opposed to my being almost completely lost when it comes to my current PC laptop. I had a ME machine my sophomore year of college, and it had some cool features, but it wasn’t ... stable ... in my experience with it, and I actually upgraded it to 2000 by the end of the school year. Windows NT was badass, though. I got to use it for work back then, and I started doing all my school stuff at work until I got 2000 because ME was gawdawful garbage. Vista wasn’t TERRIBLE, but I did revert to XP after a few months of Vista, even though I had it on a pretty damn overpowered, high end PC with a NVIDIA graphics card. I just didn’t like the UI, honestly. It ran well and was stable, unlike ME.
I’m actually still running XP on my desktop - the same one that was made to be a Vista machine - and it’s been a LOT of work to keep such an old machine running and compatible with necessary peripherals, but it’s worth it. I don’t care that it’s not supported. It still does what I need it to do. Obviously, I didn’t really care for 7, 8, or 10.
It feels odd for someone who started learning simple programming on an Apple IIc in kindergarten in 1986-1987 and who even built both her own 3.11 and Win95 machines in middle and high school, to be turning into a Luddite. And I have kept up with the new OSes as they’ve come out, but I just don’t like any OS after XP, although my complaints are mostly UI issues, as opposed to functionality or stability issues.
Regardless, this video was really well done and well researched since you’re too young to remember the pre Win98 era very well! Thanks for the journey back into my childhood!
Beautifully spoken
Windows 8 is the definition of "Don't fix what's not broken."
Nods repeatedly. The trauma of that os still resides within me like an uncontrolled demon.
@My irons are rusted ironic but, probably because the people who made the pirated version, disabled some necessary telemetry that prevents M$ from checking your "Genuine Windows". (I don't exactly know how windows activation works)
And to be honest, I would still prefer windows 8 over 10 even if i absolutely detest the UI. Windows 10, after some years of use, i don't like it. Only reason i use it is the godcursed functionality that it has and that i am way too comfy with.
@My irons are rusted Yea i know your pain, since i too have tried/still tries to use linux but I got a few complaints that just make linux very user unfriendly (cuz of hardware) and, well, i even tried vm-ing with gpu passthrough, and lemme tell you i do not have the brains to make it work at the moment. So im stuck with windows 10 until i get new hardware.
I use Pop_OS! btw :D
That’s such a great way to put it ☝️
Fuck. Yes.
Windows 7 Ultimate and Home Edition were the best systems, hands down.
Windows 8 should've been reserved for smartphones. Not for PC and laptops. Forget how painful it is to navigate and use. Its a f*cking eye-sore to look at.
Also, I don't mind a Windows account for compatibility across devices. But the dependency on the internet and WiFi sucks.
Honestly, I loved 8´s start screen. Whenever I was browsing anything and a parent walked by I could quickly press the windows key to switch to the start screen and they wouldn´t know I was watching the fabled "VIOLENT CONTENT" they didn't want me to watch.

using Dos, you had to load the drivers for mouse sound and cd roms with himem in the config.sys and using autoexec.bat if I remember correctly.
Was also great using autoexec.bat to auto launch windows 3.1 when your 286 started up.
Win 95, had a cd key where you could use it on any pc, just had to make sure the last group of digits started with 95xxx.
Win98SE was amazing at the time, also, had a trick where during installation when it asked for cd key, restarted pc, and then added any key using regedit.
WinME didn't use it, went back to 98SE
Win NT and 2000 had an issue with playing games, so never went there.
WinXP was just the best at the time, kept XP until you got Win7 since Vista needed a beast to run, so avoided it.
Win7 was great, used it until I could upgrade to 10.
Win8 was terrible, designed for touch screens and not really for desktop, even 8.1 was just on the laptops of family who bought it with it.

Me using Windows 11: "I am 1 alternate universe ahead of you."
I was young in the DOS days and progressed through all of these in my own time. But the one I missed that I recently installed on new hardware is Windows XP 64 bit. Fun times.
I actually really liked 8.1, this was before I ever touched Linux but if I had to choose between 8.1 and 10, 8.1 just holds a special place in my heart.
My first ever computer came with windows 8.1

15:40 thanks Muta. this made me nostalgic af ngl
7:00 lol I love the ascii floppy drive
I miss Windows Movie Maker. Especially now when you need an editing software but can't afford one.
Edit: Also I had a Windows 7 laptop once. Got the windows 8 upgrade for free. And the screen came clean off because Geek Squad wedged a giant screw into it when I took it to them to get it fixed and cleaned out. I wanted to cry...
Davinci resolve is really nice & free
@Jeramy Bryan filmora has the big ass watermark
I got WMM back, you just need to download the essentials and reinstall.
you could for example download a episode of the adventures of sonic the hedgehog and use Windows Movie Maker to cut out the "snoo" and "usual i see" out of the line "snooping as usual I see" which is a line said by robotnik in one episode and what remains would be something very funny
No one mentions the best free video editor? VSDC the standard free editor is great the only real limitation on it is it's software rendering only. But if you need to do hardware rendering them you may as well pay for video editing anyway. And can do way more than movie maker could ever do.
Man, I sure do love using a 27 year old filesystem type (ironically called New Technology File System) and a mangled mess of an operating system with compatibility layers upon compatibility layers and pretending my OS is modern.
Windows 3.11 was the first mainstream OS I used. The only system I used before that was commodore 64.
Windows 3.11 was so cool to use as a kid without really how to use it.
Hi Mudahar. Big fan.
I would like to add to your comment. In respect to windows 8 Era. It was when the shifty main board died, and windows 8 was the first OD that knew how to adapt to the new hardware without any blue screens or other driver update stuff. Pull the drive change the hardware and let the system boot again. Some repairs and river modifications where happening on a nice GUI.
In my opinion, that was the day when windows really changed the history of their product.
Either way great video😊😊

This is really cool and oddly heartwarming, but I hope the Lunix Foundation doesn't disown Muta for this. He completely forgot to mention that he uses Arch!
Reminder to pacman -Syu today
Windows 2000 was my first OS. I still use it on a VM to make documents. It is instantaneous.
Windows Vista to watch movies.
On modern hardware, they are great with another wall to hide stuff.
Windows 7 was the last uniformly designed OS. I use it in my unconnected machine.
I would be interesting to see your thoughts on 86box, I believe they have a Linux version now. Rather than using virtualization, it emulates the entire computer, with hardware from the original IBM PC up to Intel Pentium 2 and Celeron, plus all additional hardware like sound cards and graphics cards. You can even use the actual real drivers for the emulated hardware.

Me with arch running on my laptop and windows running on my monitor 👁👄👁
ThinkPad?
Windows XP (I'm guessing, cause I was really young at the time) is the first windows I ever used. We had an old box computer with it that I used to play Marble Drop on (as well as other disk computer games, but that was the one I played the most)!
Windows 2000 was my first but I used XP, windows 7 and os x tiger way more
I had windows vista back in the day when I was a kid, and I don't remember having many issues with it. Hell, I didn't even upgrade to Windows 7, but instead I skipped that and went up to 8. I still have videos on my channel of me playing Minecraft Beta on Vista.
i remember there being a fan made start button for windows 8, that basically ended up being what windows uses now. the only thing that kept me from growing crazy using that software.
16:04 Hmm yes, blurs the Key in the VM Window but doesn´t blur the Notepad
Is it sad that I still believe Windows XP was the best time to be alive
Probably, but it is the truth.
definitely not sad and totally normal
*back in the day..*
when i used xp i updated to vista due to the aesthetics back when i didn't care much about performance but i deeply remember how slow and always freezing the os was

Just stumbled upon this video. This is actually how I got to my current windows license.
Had a System crash on me and ended up having to overhaul most of the parts of my system. Had a Disk copy of Windows 8 or 8.1 Pro. Updated windows back to back until it gave me the version updates all the way to windows 10, not long before the windows 11 update. Took several hours for each version but will be my go-to method for installing legitimate windows on any new system I use until they don't allow version upgrades. as newer windows don't seem to accept my older license key.
