While Microsoft continues to enhance Windows 11 with features like Copilot, users of older Windows versions such as XP, Windows 7, and Vista can feel left out. Interestingly, there’s a way for these users to experiment with Copilot, albeit not through official Microsoft channels. This article...

In an ever-evolving technological landscape, software is often viewed as perishable, outgrowing its relevance in a matter of years or even months. However, a surprising number of legacy software applications are still available and, in some cases, still in use as we enter 2024. While some of...

I had moved to another area and when I try to remember passwords/access names I get errors from the websites.. I have different sites with different names/sources historically, from XP, WIndows 7, 8.1,10 and now with 11. I suspect that Windows remember passwords/usernames from history. How do...

Hello, I have some mini-PC problems, it started when Windows 10 kept pushing updates to flood my 32gb hard drives to a mere 100 mb's in my Asus VivoSticks TS10 making them inoperable. I had to keep deleting updates everyday and could not shut down the automatic updates in the policies no matter...

Hello folks, I have an old dual boot Windows PC. One OS is Win XP which is on one HDD (has 2 partitions), the other one is Win 7 which is on another HDD (has 2 partitions too).

One thing I'd like to do is make the titlebar of every single app I open on my Windows 11 look like the Windows Vista titlebar. On XP, 7, and Vista, apps weren't able to have custom titlebars. Now they are, and it sucks. Anyone know how to change it?

Howdy! I want to create a robust system to support Windows XP and later. I want to start some old projects like emulation and other old stuff, so I will probably use XP, 7, and 11 on three different partitions. I want to use a Mini ITX, if possible, or a Micro ATX motherboard. As a CPU and...

I am setting up a virtual machine to host a Windows XP environment with specific legacy software to replace a customer's broken Dell MTC2 desktop. I used Disk2vhd to generate a VHD from the customer's IDE hard disk and created the virtual machine with VirtualBox. The system begins to boot but...

Hello, is there any way to virtualize win 7 and later, or linux on win xp profesional? Unfortunately, most virtualization devices no longer support win xp. It doesn't have to be a powerful solution, especially if the OS can somehow get a few fps up and running.

My favorite Windows is Windows XP. I have the license key for the organization that I used to support for back in 2001-2006 which is for Windows XP Pro, and it is for unlimited number of clients. I am feeling Nostalgic and want to install it on my Old Laptop which is designed for Windows 7 but...

HI! I tried to install Windows XP 2005 (from an original recovery disc) on an old Laptop (Medion MD 41300, 32 BIT) but it failed due to the fact that it didn't copy a few files (messages while installing). Now I am stuck in between (endless loop). XP tries to boot, but is messaging in between...

Hello, After playing around in a Windows XP VM, I noticed a very peculiar type of BSOD that I like to call a CBSOD due to it only occuring with bugcheck codes that start with a C. From NT 3.1 all the way to Windows 7, it basically looked like this: Unlike the normal XP-7 BSOD, this one is...

Hi, In the beginning I had XP installed and then Win7 in dual boot. Dual boot I could not undo and upgraded Win7 to Win10. After a Win10 crash, I couldn't do any repair. I reinstalled Win10 on another partition. My question is if I can just delete the older versions and just keep working with...

I have an old Acer computer that I would like to run for 5 different things in Windows XP. My biggest interest is shown in the image. It's a telescope mirror analysis program which is called FigureXP. I have an XP install disk on the way. Most of the time the computer will not be on and I can...

Hi, I'm Aaron Bewza and I rebuilt the Windows XP Luna shutdown and logoff dialog menus, because XP is 20 years old this year plus I've had a bit of interest in this while I was building it so I'd like to share it with you. I coded it completely ground-up in AHK (Autohotkey) and it's quite close...
