    Let's say you have this computer. You can get some work done on Windows 11, then reboot into Windows XP to play the nostalgic games.
    And if one operating system, for example 11, breaks down, you could boot into 7 or 8 to transfer your files before reinstalling, and then transfer them back once Windows 11 is done reinstalling.

    On a real system with the minimum requirements for windows 11, you can go all the way back to windows 95 if you A. use a high memory patcher, and B. (on SATA hard drives and SSDs) use rloews AHCI drivers.
    Maybe this configuration can go all the way to windows 3.1, but I havent found a way to make it work yet.

    • @the_windev
      @the_windev  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      or screw the AHCI Drives, and use a IDE Configuration

    • @EndeadeYT
      @EndeadeYT ปีที่แล้ว

      You can use 3.1 with SATA, you just have to specify /r to boot Windows in real mode.

    If you are wondering on why vmware running so slow this is because of vmware side channel which if you don't is a bug on windows 11 that causes VMware to function so slow that even if you go into the vmware settings for that particular vm and go to options tab advanced disable side channel it will still run slow in order to fix this you have to try on disabling virtual machine platform and hyper v and windows sandbox or update windows or upgrade your vmware version

    I have an old Windows Vista computer from 2009 and I managed to install and boot up to 10 different Windows operating systems at the same time, and those operating systems include:
    Windows XP 32-bit
    Windows XP 64-bit (I used a special tool called Easy2Boot to install both Windows XPs on a hard drive with the bootmgr MBR)
    Windows Vista Home Premium (the computer came with this one)
    Windows Vista Ultimate
    Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Windows 8.1
    Windows 10
    Windows 11 (Yes, I know it usually only installs on UEFI GPT so I installed the OS by creating a custom Windows 10 ISO where I replace the Windows 10 install.wim file with a Windows 11 install.wim file so that it can install on Legacy BIOS MBR)

    one time i multi-booted 12 different systems from xp to 11 + betas (exclude win 11 beta)
    if you want to multi boot vista and never systems with xp or older versions you need install older versions first, and only then vista and older
    bc if you first install vista or never you'll have an old bootloader that will not let you get into new systems

      I don't think so as it can depend on hardware like Windows 1, 2 and 3 may not work since the hardware may be too new for Windows to make a dual boot and Windows 95 can only run on 512MB of RAM without modifications so i don't think so
