Downgrading Windows 11 to 1.01!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- You've seen my video in the past where I did a Timelapse of installing Windows 1.01 to 11. But this time, let's do it in the opposite way. What if we downgraded Windows 11 all the way to 1.01?
Note at the following points: Windows XP was slightly corrupted for a reason I don't understand, and Windows 3.0 refused to boot regardless of what parameters I used.

You forgot the timestamps, so I thought I'd write them out here...
Start - Windows 11
0:01 - Windows 11 to Windows 10 22H2
1:06 - Windows 10 22H2 to Windows 10 RTM
2:10 - Windows 10 to Windows 8.1
2:57 - Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.0
3:51 - Windows 8 to Windows 7
4:27 - Windows 7 to Windows Vista
5:00 - Windows Vista to Windows XP
5:38 - Windows XP to Windows Millenium
6:05 - Windows Millenium to Windows 98
6:30 - Windows 98 to Windows 95
6:55 - Windows 95 to Windows 3.1
7:14 - Windows 3.1 to Windows 3
7:35 - Windows 3 to Windows 2
7:52 - Windows 2 to Windows 1.01
End - Windows 1.01
I said put this in the description
It's a hassle because if you take the fact that he uploads to frequently, he would not want to add timestamps which are not exactly THAT necessary. Plus, video editing has to take time. He's got hours worth of raw footage, condensed into a mere 8 minute video.
Where is 2000???
@@windowssoru70011 There is a comment posted by Nobel Tech himself in this comment section that he didn't pin because this comment was pinned instead.
poop
I originally intended to add Windows 2000 in the video, but given the issues that occurred with the Windows XP i386 install, I ultimately decided to avoid further issues and skipped it.
don't pin, put this stuff in the description
Ohh..
Can you virtualize Windows 10 in Windows 11 with Windows 7 virtualized in Windows 8 in it, and so on?
@@the_mariocrafter There is a channel called Come On Windows that has done this already.

They couldn't get past Windows XP.

Feels like riding on a time machines, travelling back in a memory
Right I found an authentic copy of Windows 7 on ebay was debating on running it off a laptop or something I only got a cheap emachine only running off 2 cores right now if I find a processor compatible with it that can give it at least 4 cores and a quad core I can turn it into my main computer and abandon my modern PC and live the rest of my life running off an old school computer from the early 2000s I was debating on turning my MODERN computer into a Steam Machine and have it run off as a gaming console. I need to find what processors I can instal on the emachine to run up to classic games on it so far I got The Sims Complete Collection running on it it has 8GB of RAM on it running for casual purposes and checking emails feels like a good idea if I could abandon my SmartTV next for one of those big CRT TVs for classic games I could relive a small fraction of my childhood.
Fun fact: If you put this video in reverse it would be a timelapse of installing Windows 1.01 to 11
nah really I thought not 😂
With a back-to-front installer

NAH REALLY?!
Windows XP and Windows 7 gives me nostalgic vibes. But Windows 8.1 reminds me my teenhood because I started using Windows 8.1 since last year
You started using it last year?? This os is 10 years old and since Jan this year out of support 😅
For me most nostalgic is windows xp and 7 bc windows xp was on my family computer and my first pc had 7
@@Jan7727 actually from 2021 but I consider it using as a daily os in 2022
@@nathanyellowstarthegoanimator why would you do that
@@aiexzs Because Windows 10 sucked off my PC. But Windows 10 RTM is okay. But I wanted the Fluid Animations that's why I consider Windows 8.1. I don't find out Windows 8.1 is terrible just people disliked the changes
Windows Vista really was my first OS since I was young, but given my memories of it, I ended up getting Windows 7 prior to the upgrade in 2011.
same, wjn vista
Windows 7 was my first OS... I found it so amazing. The old media center, the polished window controls settings and start menu, the beautiful themes, the amazing memories... I got so nostalgic that I tried getting it on my windows 11 desktop but unfortunately, it was too new :(
Windows xp was my first os I was get. and windows 7 can be keep update. but now its not in here again. memory😢
I still like Vista. Work has a vintage laptop with Vista SP2 and Firefox 3.6 to support a certain legacy device, and it's delightful. Looks good, is snappy and fast even on a junky craptop. I also found SP1 and SP2 to be great at home. Vista's rocky start really tarnished its reputation, but it was by no means as bad as everyone said.
My desktop with Vista was a Dell Insprion (couldn't find the number of it), but it had like 8GB ram and about 256GB SSD. Worked great but lasted about 8 years from 2007 to 2015,. but after 6 months some hackers got into the whole desktop, locked everything except my games and stuff, I ordered a new Inspiron PC with Windows 10 pre-installed, but was lucky to revive some things, but not all of it.
Downgrading from Windows 10 to 7 felt like upgrading. Windows 7 was ahead of its time
unfortunately many things dont support it any more, even new steam versions are dropping it
imo windows 11 fixed what was wrong with windows 10, i find it almost as polished as 7 especially without UWP nightmares
Actually 7 was right on time. 2000, Vista and 10 where ahead. 10 is a far more capable OS than 7.
@@aiexzs imo Windows 11 feels like an unfinished Windows 10 update. I am still waiting for when they'll let me put my taskbar on the right
@@debugempty there are some QoL things they somehow managed to miss, but i remember windows 10 being very broken across all of my devices, windows 11 seemed to remedy a lot of the broken animations and fixed a lot of multitasking issues for me (21:9 monitor)

HE DID IT, HE ACTUALLY DOWNGRADED ALL THE WAY!
ALL THE WAY TO MS-DOS!!!!
just windows 1.0 not ms-dos lmfao
@@nyew_thrizz Which runs on top of MS-DOS
Downgrading from windows 1.01 to DOS is a good idea for a new video
Well technically when he fell into the DOS backend, he had no choice but to scrap the NT-based installs due to partition format incompatibility.
Therefore, in reality, we've witnessed two downgrade paths.
Imagine microsoft made older computers from windows 1.0
The best part about the video is seeing how much an operation system has evolved over the years. Oddly enough, I found the logo the most satisfying seeing how much it changed.
I still remember when windows 7 and 8 just came out. I miss windows XP, though. :(
However, the hour glass on the cruiser will always be the most annoying thing I've ever experienced on Windows XP.
Bro is a legend, he is uploading daily from 6 years im truly a big fan of your channel. i been watching from 2 - 3 years
I did this a few years ago (streamed it on my channel) but we went down all the way to MS-DOS! It's good to see someone else doing this as well.
From windows 11 to windows Vista, it looks more like we're upgrading with how shitty windows started looking with 8
downgrading from 8 to 7 is upgrade
Downgrading from 10 and 11 as well.
True
How is downgrading to windows 10 good? And how is downgrading from 8 to 7 good?
because windows 11 and 8 was both hated by cus it sucks
@@modkirc_ Thats cap my windows 11 is great
I remember the first video you did on this concept, that video was very interesting to me, its old enough to be nostalgic to me, its nice to seeing you are going with the same concept, even though I dont even use windows anymore...
i wouldn't call this a proper downgrade but rather a big chain of reinstalls after you went to Windows 7 and below
That's right. It's impossible to actually downgrade form Windows 11 to 1.01
He used Windows CD's to downgrade
@@Đuro_Pucar_Stari What does this have to do with the comment? And besides, your wrong. He used ISOs which are virtual CDs to downgrade.
He failed to downgrade from 10 to 8 actually. 2:10
@TheOtherNamesWereTaken123 If we wanna get real pedantic, ISOs themselves aren't virtual CDs. ISOs are disc images and can be used to burn physical discs. The virtual machine software used in this video uses these disc images to emulate a physical CD or DVD drive. And indeed, many of these installations (Windows Vista and later) were done by emulating a DVD drive, not a CD drive, since the images are too large to fit on a CD. And finally, Windows 9x cannot be installed using a CD alone, you also need a floppy boot disk, which was also emulated by the virtual machine software in this video.
I think its funny that the moment he installed XP he was getting errors before the boot even finished😂
Hardware incompatibilities, don't try to make this look as if it's XP's fault. A 2002 OS is not designed to run on a 2023 PC
@@MentalParadox it's obviously a joke because of what it's known for. people have even made songs made out of the windows xp error sound.

@@catfacecat. you can skip frames using the , and . keys on PC, it looks like when he tried downgrading from 8.1 to 8, windows started having some problems, hence the 2 INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE blue screens.
idk if this happens less or more frequently when trying to downgrade windows versions since i got the same error when trying to roll back from windows 11 to windows 10, didn't get to fixing it yet but with that idk
In December 2020, I used Windows XP on a 2007 laptop until it broke in early 2022. I was then “forced” to use a later version of Windows 10 on a newer 2020 laptop, as it didn’t even have full support for Win10 RTM. Then, at the end of the year, I finally got a 2008 laptop, all shiny and perfect.
I upgraded its components to:
- 8GB RAM (~8079MB usable)
- Core2 Duo T9600 (~2,801 MHz)
- Overclocking performed on internal nVidia chip.
I used Vista until I dualbooted it with XP. Vista would not appear in the boot menu. From there, I formatted the disk and dualbooted Windows 7 with Windows 10 RTM.
I will fully upgrade to Windows 8.1, with a 2014 laptop and everything, in 2025. Unless something forces me to upgrade “early”...

I has been done. By using a custom build of Windows 8 beta, you can upgrade from x86 to x64.
@@funwithmatteo3769 but you need a third party software "ShowHideControls"
I once tried to install and downgrade a Dell Inspiron 3252 from it's OEM Windows 10 (which was upgraded to 22H2) to Windows 7. I had seen my older sister do it before (but on a different processor model than the one I had tried), but it didn't work, and got stuck on a driver file loading during startup. Luckily, I was able to do the rollback process (which was still an option) and restore the copy of Windows 10.

I never downgraded Windows, so I have them all in a Virtualbox VM from Windows 1.04 (1987) till Windows 11 Pro (now), including all NT releases from the nineties. The oldest VM I have is Windows XP Home installed and activated in March 2010. It survived 2 Virtualbox owners; 3 desktops and 4 CPUs :)

Good concept bro I like it!
The only thing I hate about Windows 11 is the awful Start Menu layout that's about it. The Mica Effect makes up for the Aero and you can work around tweaking the menu with third party software. I figured out how to combine taskbar icons when full but can't find it again so sad you can even mod Windows 11 also bypassing requirements for Windows 11 will turn it into a Windows 11 Light Edition apparently Microsoft is still encouraging us to transition to Windows 11 somehow.
I forgot how appealing Windows 11 is. It is way more appealing than it ever was on the first release of Windows.

we have to reverse this
Ive always wanted to install Windows 95 on a PC and run the in place upgrades to see how far I could get.
"I will downgrade until a Windows version which doesn't spy on me."
probably downgrade to any version below windows 8
That's (mostly) just doing a clean install, not downgrading!
1:58 beat is very good
you theoretically swapped out isos on your usb with older and older versions when you couldve just got win1.01 from the start. it would be cool to see if it was possible to do it without external drives
WinXP is an NT operating system and the one prior to it was win2K. Then WinNT 4. It's a different operating system than Win 95/98/ME and 3 too. WinNT is based on OS/2 Not Win1-3 95/98/ME. Microsoft decided to get rid of it's inferior OS after ME, and XP became the first business and consumer OS. You cannot downgrade to ME, because it's not the same type of operating system.
So how did he do it then?
@@da_pwo He's doing a clean install of each OS. You can't downgrade the OS, only revert back within a certain amount of time using the Windows.old folder. In any case he is cheating. He is not upgrading, he wiping the newer OS every time and putting a clean image of the earlier OS, that's why there's no sign of getting apps and files ready from the previous installation. If you were to upgrade, you would have the option to keep apps, files and settings, and this could take anything from 30 minutes to hours just to go through that phase of the installation before it reboots into the pre-install environment.
@@philipchantry01 so this whole thing is fake, then why did nobody say anything?
@@da_pwo Don't know why, but it is... I'm a MS certified engineer, and I've installed every one of them OS's, so I know the upgrade path is one way, up. And the NT OS is not compatible with the 9x/ME OS. There's a reason why the video doesn't show you the install options properly. If it did so on win7-win11 install, it would show you that 'custom' clean install is selected.
