This is my build:

-Cpu AMD Ryzen 2400g

-Gpu Nvidia RTX 2060 6gb

-16gb ram

-Two SSD drives of approximately 500gb each

My use is priorly casual, although I also like to run heavy games from time to time and experiment with things like customizations, virtual machines, rendering, etc...

Finally after days i got Windows on Windows on Windows from its host Windows 11.

Running Windows 11 as host amd then run windows 7 as first VM.

Running Windows 7 as VM host then running Windows xp as VM in VM.

Running Windows xp as VM host then Running Windows 95 as VM in VM

This basically means i run windows in windows in windows windows, well it could go on however it gets mucg slower on each layer.

Using Windows 7 was fine when i insertet guest additions but thinfs got trickier on windows xp but manageable however things took time when trying to install amd setup windows 95 because it was so slow and laggy thus the installation was a pain so i basically installed it on windows 11 vm amd then transfered the VDI file to windows xp and imported into VirtualBox, when trying to run the importer win 95 it just refused to boot as it got into "unexpected boot issue" after many attempts and configurations it finally works.

If you would like to try it remember it is resource heavy and takes time but can go on many vm in vm but each layer slows the response to its main host

Windows 7 vm with guest addition, 16gb, 50gb sata ahci, 6core.

Windows xp vm, 2gb, 11gb Ide, dual core core.

Windows 95 vm, 512mb, 2gb Ide, single core

Context: I’m neurodivergent and these stories take place in 2019.

When I was nine years old, I came across a video about the startup and shutdown sounds of each Windows operating system. I really liked the sounds so much that I started obsessing over the history.

As time went on, I became infatuated with windows. So much so that one time I kept calling my crush “Windows 3.1” and everyone got mad at me because I was being an annoying little pleb, but not my crush for some reason…

While I was hyper-fixating on Windows, I was being bullied really badly (It had gone on months before my fixation, but this was a really bad turn) and I started to develop depression. I remember once I was having a really bad day and refused to go outside for recess. The teacher asked what’s wrong, but I didn’t want to talk so I wrote a paragraph on how Microsoft was formed. Needless to say, she was very confused.

My mother made me sign up for Piano lessons and would make me practice everyday (except the day of the lesson) for fifteen minutes. Instead of playing what I was supposed to play, I decided to play Windows startups and shutdowns. My mom would be so annoyed over it! However, my piano teacher thought it was very cool.

I was a really creative nine year old and I remember drawing my own Windows 95 laptop and pretended to use it. I also remember making a Toca Life World movie based around the startup and shutdown sounds. Pray for me that I still have them!

Anyways, I am still interested in Windows. Instead of focusing on the sound effects, I want to focus on the code and history. Ok bye.

Dear windows. Can you please make a basic windows and a featureless browser so people can keep using the technology they purchased during the pandemic?

Honestly disgusted with the glut of shit that keeps being updated onto my stuff.

I feel like it’s the 90s and my personal device is full of viruses and pop ups.

Why is windows the virus?

SOLVED

so, basically, my pc is very slow. and i have combatted this by replacing my boot drive (originally a HDD) with a usb mounted m.2 and installed linux

THIS WORKED GREAT aside from the fact that linux wont run a lot of things i need so im swithcing back

upon instalation of windows 11, i am given a warning telling me off for trying to install to a USB drive in the partition selection step

can i get around this at all? and how would i do this

SOLUTION: (for people with another windows installation)

Step 1: download an ISO from microsoft.com Step 2: install rufus Step 3: open rufus, select ISO and change standard to “Windows To Go” (name might be slightly out here it was a few hours ago now) Step 5: open advanced disk options and select “show USB” or something like that” step 6: insert and select the disk you want the full installation onto (this whole process will skip having a boot drive installer) step 7: INSTALL step 8: boot this drive into the computer you want

for context, this drive does not get touched or moved and will not be easily detached so, as far as relibility goes, the fact its externally mounted should not matter

i also am relying on this because it has just taken me 5 whole minutes for my win11 desktop to load from booting with the hard drive compared to about 20 seconds for nvme+mint

Anyone know when you reset the time manually why it doesn't reset the seconds, or how you can get it to reset the seconds.

Is there a way to force stop an application when it becomes unresponsive but don't want to loose unsaved work by force closing?

I ran command prompt and saw it was disabled but accessed awhile ago, but in when I go to events I see the logs once every 4-6 minutes. I don't know what to do 😭

Basically, I was signing in to my one drive account, but with time I decided to unlink it because I realized I don't need it for now. In return, some of my games got duplicated. I deleted the old versions and left the ones that say "insert game -DESKTOP". I was using the new version of roblox just fine until today I clicked it and it said that the shortcut had been moved. I looked at my desktop and saw a new roblox player without the little "-DESKTOP" mention in the caption. Did I do something wrong and is it safe to use the new one? I updated the game just last night, is it because of that?

I have found a guide of how to boot a vhdx file using winpe

Windows is my secondary os so would prefer to keep it contained in a vhdx over having it directly installed to the SSD.

I have extracted a winpe iso to a 2tb SSD formatted as NTFS and that boots without any issues

I've added the vhdx file to the SSD in a folder called VHDX

I use the command line to mount the vhdx, assign it a letter and then tell it to add it to the bcd as default.

The guide uses a script that runs when winpe starts

Does this seem right? Is there a easier or better way without having a windows install to achieve this?

In the image - Task Manager, New Outlook, Edge... all Microsoft products. All different.

I miss windows having a blue bar, unified Min/Max/Close buttons... all the same height/size.

Probably been posted a million times, but yeah.

Bonus points for the fact that I have to have New Outlook running in Light mode because its Dark mode absolutely sucks.

If this is not the right subreddit to ask, please tell me where to go. I am trying to find a program similar to tinytask, where I could record my actions, then have the program repeat them exactly. The only difference is I would need a program that can repeat these actions daily at a specific exact time which will be slightly different each day. Please let me know where to go. Thanks in advance guys :)

So, I am on a laptop with a physical key board. When I type, windows shows typing suggestions (enabled from settings), but there is no way to select a suggestion from the keyboard. I have to switch to mouse, click a suggestion and continue typing. This is very inefficient. Is there a better way?

I guess this Clippy protest will be more popular by this post, thanks Microsoft 😂

This just got added to Minecraft, thought it was a surprising reference

It says "You will be disconnected" on the top line.
