Installing Windows 1.01 to Windows 11 - Time Lapse

WARNING: Fast flashing images in this video may cause discomfort and trigger epileptic seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.

Here's a video where I install every major Windows version from Windows 1.01 all the way up to Windows 11, with a clean wipe for Windows XP x64 Edition. Please note that NT 4.0 and 2000 were not included due to their nature as server-focused systems. VMware Fusion was used to do this video.

Let's appreciate that he took a long time to wait for the installation just to show us how incredible windows evolution is.

I remember watching the 1.0 to 10 & now 11. Cool!
Edit: thanks for the likes!!

First, I appreciate the amount of work that this must have taken.
Second, seeing the windows 8 setup brought back some fond memories, back before I found out how crap windows 8 really was.
Lastly, could you imagine the look on the face of the windows analytics team when they see a computer pulling repository files and reporting core Windows.old files containing software signatures from windows 1.01?

That deserve a like for sure... So much time spent on this video! We all appreciate your work!

Watched XP installation at 0.25 speed. Drove me straight to nostalgia.

Plot twist : It's not a time lapse

It's running on a computer with blazing speed SSD

[josephmercer]

The music really adds to this intense nostalgia trip

[UltraPoyoColt]

I love these kinds of videos. Great job!!

[Jakkilip]

Thank you, now I know how the upgrading to windows 11 on my PC will look like.

[DarenStratton]

This is absolutely brilliant stuff! I love it

[AshishAgrawal]

Hatts off to your patience... I really appreciate your work👍👍

My friend: Why did you watch this to the end?
Me: Yes

It's interesting that only XP was able to automatically fetch the display drivers and set the correct resolution, every other version of windows just used the default fallback resolution and would probably need windwso update/ manual install to get the drivers working correctly.

I used for so long Windows 7 that the jump to 8.1 and furthermore to 10 surprised me a lot. Nice job.

[RoshitGopinath]

Wow! I just absolutely love computers and building stuff with it, I don't know what I'd have done if there were no computers! Thanks Microsoft!

[BootlegGremlin]

Dude imagine if the music changed with the windows version. Maybe with quality too. Going from oldest to newest. It would be like watching the hardware evolve along windows

Installed Win 3.11 once with 11 floppy disks :). Windows 95 was such a huge milestone and afaik the first time they introduced "plug and play".

[KojoGotMojo]

Pay respects to the perfectly fine computer that installed Windows ME
