XP will always have more RAM available to do anything, it basically always be much faster. Even so its old and not optimised for newer softwares, which may degrade a bit its performance. U could try install it into newer laptop hardware and do the tests.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs): Will update as more questions come in! Q: Why did you use such old hardware? Why not (insert computer name here) A: Like I mentioned in the video, I didn't have any other hardware in my house at the time that could run all six versions of Windows. This was the only computer I had, and I had to use it to make this video. In the future I might do a sequel with better hardware depending on how well this video does. Q: Why were Windows 7's temperatures abnormally high (at 2:26)? A: Likely due to it not properly "idling" and instead running at 100%. Q: What browser were you using for the browser test? A: I was using Mypal 68 as the browser across all six systems. It is a Windows XP compatible browser that makes browsing on XP bearable enough. It also worked on Windows 11 surprisingly, so I used it. Q: How long did it take to make this video? A: It took 2 months and over 30 hours of work to prepare, record, edit, script and publish this video.
I made a point depending on what OS placed in whatever test: 1st place: 6 points 2nd place: 5 points 3rd place: 4 points 4th place: 3 points 5th place: 2 points 6th place: 1 point Based on that, here are the results: WinXP: 134 WinVista: 104 Win7: 89 Win8.1: 111 Win10: 106 Win11: 87 #1 Windows XP #2 Windows 8.1 #3 Windows 10 #4 Windows Vista #5 Windows 7 #6 Windows 11
About the system appearance, I still prefer Seven. To me, Seven, Vista, Eight, Eleven, Ten and XP in this order. Frankly I only think 11 looks a tiny bit better because the whole system feels a bit more consistent, but it's the one with the least transparency after Windows XP. I wish MS just released a huge theme pack that could turn your current Windows visual, to the visual of older versions, with Aero and all that, but maintaining the Explorer intact. That would be cool. Either way, awesome video, I loved it. Must have been an ass to record this.
Glad you enjoyed it! This video was indeed a pain to record. My phones screen actually broke during the recording so I had to use my iPhone 6s to film the 8.1 tests lol.
This video just proves what I’ve been saying all along. Vista was NOT bad and people sucked it up to Windows 7 for absolutely no reason other than coincidence and luck. People love to hate on Windows Vista but it was a huge technological jump over Windows XP.
I love Vista but lord have mercy, it did not have a good release. Vista RTM I guess was all dependent on what computer you had during the time. Most computers probably could not handle it which led to it being slow and unstable. Vista SP1 and SP2 is good tho. People did not hate it because it was a technological jump. If that was the case then wouldn’t they hate XP since that was a huge jump from ME & 2000?
this is not a fair comparison as the system requirements have changed over the years and the latter versions would need at least 2020 hardware for their full capabilities
having them all the same makes sure that the loading times are almost completely dependent on the OS (which gets the actual speed), having the newer hardware would basically kill the purpose of it because of course things are going to be a lot slower back then
I miss the layout and "vibe" of the old Windows-systems. 98 - My first Windows and the huge interest in technology XP - Was iconic, stable and now nostalgic Vista - Was good too, I liked it although many people had their legitimate issues with it. 7 - Was decent 8 - Never used it. 10 - Is still perfect for me, a great system with new overview and layout. 11 - Still haven't touched it on my own PC, only on other PCs, still prefer Win.10
This is because windows 11 is packed with a lot of features for example yhe modern UI Paint has a modern degin and other features didn't why windows 7 performed so poorly on a Solid State Drive
True. Microsoft started ruining 7 after Windows 10 was released. That's why I still use Vista, it never got ruined by the new spyware updates by Microsoft. XP is great but honestly aero is goated.
Even if xp was middle of the pack its second to none when it comes to customisation from boot menu to actual OS. So much so an xp desktop can be made to look like a star trek panel you'd swear it wasn't xp you were looking at
As a user of xp and 10, I must say that windows 10 will start in different speed every time I use it, sometimes it very quick, and other times it goes on forever. Windows xp is at least stable. Windows 10 is making my life harder with how slow it is with opening pictures. It also quite slowly open and load browser or files. Windows xp is taking forever in comparision to download files. But I use them on different laptops (xp on hp office line, 10 on casual asus), so that may have influence. But as windows xp was my first I always have more sympathy for it and think it tries its best, my relationship with winodows 10 is out of convinience, lol. I remember vista and 7 from school, but I can't say much about them, after being expolitet by students they had their rights to sometimes refuse to work correctly. I just remember vista taking some longer to start, 7 was doing that pretty fast
Windows 10 is not so bad, because it has provided apps that can be used and it can run apps very smooth. The worst thing is it is slow and it could restart the computer multiple times.
I am building a 32 bit system specifically to run legacy hardware like firewire interface and Nikon film scanner. I don't have good memories of Windows 8 because of the bloated wares for X-box etc. Pretty much skipped 7 since I was using Vista at the time. Pretty much everyone said 8 is the fastest among 32 bit system but according to your test XP is more efficient than 8 on audio speed test, does it mean XP is better for audio work?
If you used a vista supported laptop for every window then how win 11 can perform good supported opering systems have win 11 working extremely fast and xp would have win for sure it was like comparing temple run 2 speedtest on samsung s3 and s22 at same time😂
Yeah I admit that it wasn't exactly fair but that computer is the only one I have that can run Windows XP to 11 properly without serious modifications.
I think that 11 or 8: best 7 or 10: worst I think you speak like @TrigrZolt a lot. Startup determines nothing Great comparison! I run Windows 11 on my pc. In February I've got a green screen. I don't know why. Yesterday, I've got a blue screen of death, but I know why. I ended Microsoft Edge accidentally.

Agreed! XP was definitely the best OS when it came to theming it.
It is to your credit my friend to do such informative videos suitable for new comers and experienced people.
My conclusion is that performance differences are so small and inconsistent that it isn't a factor in deciding which system to use.
