Great Job. you really took me to my childhood. I started using Windows from Windows 95. For the first time, I came to know how Windows has evolved. great thanks to you!

[bisharakhoury]

Great job you are the best at windows and computer videos

[cbrauts]

I love how they kept the fish in Windows 8 previews as well after initially adding it in Windows 7 preview builds. If we get Windows 12 previews, adding the fish back would be a neat little detail.

Great Job Sir. You installed all the widows very hard work.

Great video. 15:34, this was the most funny moment.
The changes from Win 7to Win 8 showed a bit of bravery from Microsoft, namely to break with some already long used conventions of how to use a desktop operating system. I loved this minimalist, visual appearance of the early Windows Metro/Modern-UI design-language but also would have loved to retain the aero-glass effects as an opt-in in the settings.

I remember when using Windows 95 first time in my life. My parents still had a Win 3.11 desktop computer and the taskbar wit the easily discoverable windows, the ease of how to copy content between apps and the maximize and minimize effects felt like living in the future back in the early late 1990s.

Then was Windows 98, a drastically improvement over Win 95.
Not to forget Windows ME ("Mistake Edition" 😂) which was kind of Win 98 which wanted to be Windows 2000 soooo bad and failed. I never had the (dis)pleasure to use it.

And the change between Win 98 and Win XP was another drastically change in the design language, in Germany, my home country, Win XP was often jokingly called "Klickibunti" (Clicky and too colorfully).

Win XP, Win Vista and Win 7, the old era of service-packs when one rushed to the next pc store to buy a new install CD-rom since internet still was too slow to get over the air updates.

As said, great video and a great journey down the memory lane.
