@Bobj2008 Done that. Except for the updates, because... just no...
It was a good way to see all the good and bad stuff. The same for some of linux distros. :P -
JakeHL6658yA guy on YouTube did this from an earlier version of Windows and with each upgrade he tried to run this old hot wheels game. It was a blast to watch. I'll try to find it.

Keep posting the screenshots! 😉 Next up... Vista - which I'm sure won't last too long. That was a painful OS! -
Seeing this reminds me when I downgraded my very first PC from Win Vista Super Home Double Ballmer Unicorn Edition to Win XP. It was a great day.

Also learned how to dual boot it with Ubuntu 8.04, with a CD that Cannonical used to send to users

Lukas18698yLooking at these sequential screenshots, it's like watching a part of the movie of my life. Really cool!

@GinjaNinja Yea, it was painful. Vista did not have internet access, so I had to upgrade to 7.

I thought I try to install windows XP and go thru the upgrades in a virtual machine. I will install every update for that version of Windows and then proceed to upgrade to the next version.
XP => Vista => 7 => 8 => 8.1 => 10
I'll was going to do the very first windows but, I had an XP install disk, so I am starting with that.
