Multi-Booting Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP

This was a long journey, but today, I attempt to 5 boot Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8.1, and 10. This takes longer than it should be...

This took me a long time to edit and film. Hope you enjoy the video!

You have done hell to that VM, but you are the greatest “pc person” of all time. Well done.

"hey can I borrow your computer"
"oh sure, which operating system"
"what?"
_"WHICH OPERATING SYSTEM???"_

14:26 It made me laugh when you said WELCOME in a chimpmunk voice

I used to watch this during lunchtime at school every day. Thanks, Trigr!

I did that on a real pc, all os worked :)) + 10 linux distros added, i think i've done the world record!

I miss so much Aero Glass, I really wish MS just give us an option to activate it some day again. I like how the W10 is now but I also love transparency, and I wish I didn't had to modify the entire system just to have that.

Fun fact: I actually dualbooted Windows 7 w Windows 7. The way I did that is just chose my new partition during installation. I also wanted to dualboot w Windows xp, but it doesn't go through the setup process at all on Windows 7 but now I know how to do it

1:00 “Never Give You Virtual Machine More Than 100 Gb” Too Late I Gave Mine Over 1 Tb

Your meant to put the older operating systems first then the newer ones. 25:04 Windows XP does support dual booting as I've seen somebody run Windows 2000 and XP together. Only 9x systems require MS-DOS by the way.

So if you are confused about the Partition "System Reserved"
When you did a Clean Install of Windows, The partition size varies on different Operating Systems.
Windows 7 will have 100MB, Windows 8/8.1 will have 350MB, and Windows 10 will have a 500MB.
It was used for BitLocker Drive Encryption, Boot Configuration, and Boot Manager Code.

6:33 I surprisingly agree.
Well, I used 8.1 since the day it was released and all the way up until like 2018(?)
And I also found some appreciation for Vista in late 2021, I put backgrounds from Vista everywhere
This is why I kinda feel cozy when I use them

If you go in this order (XP, Vista, 7, 8.1 and 10) you won't have a problem with the multiboot. XP must be installed first, and must be as the prime boot device. In this way, Vista pairs with XP, solidifying multiboot. If you were to remove the assigned letter to the WindowsXP partition in Windows Vista, Vista won't let you do it because it would prompt you a message that such partition is the main boot device, but it would let you to remove the others.

Tigerzolt: says that you shouldn’t put over 100 gb


Also him: puts 160 go

more info: every operating system you install, it will make and overwrite the "System Reserved" partition you were wondering about, and that partition has the boot manager stored inside it, which is what contains the boot menu, so it is different every time it overwrites the system reserved partition

[HybridReal]

System reserved is for when installing Windows your C drive can be erased and everything while the system reserved holds the important files needed to boot into windows and install it.

I liked the old intro where he's searching "Quinta Booting" and "5 Booting" on YouTube. Sadly, it's now been removed :(

wow the windows 7 boot menu so much nostalgia cuz 10 years ago i once had a pc with windows 7 and windows xp installed on them and in 2016 i had a pc with windows 10 and windows 8.1 and i was kinda surprised about the boot menu back then and even 5 years later now i forgot it and this video reminded me of it great days.

You need sound drivers and several other drivers with XP. it didn't come with drivers. Later O.S.'s automatically installed the needed drivers.

I got this video on my recommendation after 2 years, cool video 🙃👍
