I have been able run windows 7 even on "unsupported" ryzen with some tweaks, NVME and usb3 driver was only needed. Also few days ago made win7 works on zen2 to friend with few major tweaks and been running stable so far. Older Vmware works fine even as win 10 guest. I got win10 offline vm on Vmware workstation 7 under XP. Only thing needed was manually download latest vmware tools. If I can still use it on xp win7 with 15.5 player/workstation wont have issues with it anytime soon run win10. that laptop got offical windows xp and windows 7 drivers on dell site. Microsoft cannot just magically make windows 7 or windows xp incompatible with existing hw (expect in theory with bios flash)

I need more answers to be able to help what device did you try MTP? Phone, mp3, camera. What is your hardware/software config? Do you have sp3 and media player 11 installed? what is model number of gamepad on back. Does it use direct draw or xinput? If you go to game controllers on control panel and is controller listed? If it is if you click it to properties, go to test tab and press button does it list like this (number 1):

you cannot according rules. 4.b Should you be suspended or banned from MSFN, you are not allowed to open a new account to re-obtain the ability to post on the forums.

I have been planning setting up windows 95 to one of my system for experimental purposes to see how far can push it and got some questions from any possible remain win95 users. I know win98SE got better driver support on this but just want try win95 since got original OSR 2 cd and usb update, win95 can be installed without active desktop, ie or other bloat and since want experiment with win95 on faster HW. Target system I will be using specs are Asus P4P800 mainboard, Intel Pentium 4 2.80ghz HT, IDE dvd drive, ide cd-r, 250gb sata hdd, 320gb ide hdd, 160gb sata hdd, nvidia 6800gt agp, onboard soundmax ADI AC97 codec, 3com nic. So far been founding/got following: 3com nic got offical win95 driver, windows can support most of flash drives and other usb storage medias using RLoew usb driver for windows 95, RLoew ram, high capacity disk and sata patch allow me to use even 4gb of ram and sata mode with large hdd on windows 95. For fast cpu this fixed issue on every fast cpu Ioaded windows 95 on. For partitioning I will use windows 98 updated fdisk. Nvidia 77.72 driver can be forced on windows 95 likely. All expect control panel should work just fine, for media player I can use one linked on this msfn topic. I plan keep it IE free. For browser/email client Retrozilla is best since support tls 1.2 What is still problematic: Soundmax ac97 adi codec only driver supporting win95 was this on IBM site, there is no chipset driver for 865 chipset and not sure how much issues it can cause if use without. I will be trying it on someday when time but wanted ask if anyone here got experience on any of that hw with windows 95 for possible tweaks/others I may need to do

Have you considered dual gpu? I have used win98 and win7 on same board once. Had radeon hd 4800 pci e I think and nvidia 6600 pci e on same machine. I disabled Unsupported gpu on win98 and was able to use 6600 on it. I wont remember all details but that is possible. Should work even with xp. That of course works only if you got 2x pci e slots

IIS server error is more common than apache/wordpress server error on internet still since many still uses IIS for some reason. Mostly on companies to intraweb services

That is exactly what I was looking for. No need javascript, videos wont buffer and site wont lag all the time (on real youtube did despite fast 100mb/s broadband and fast quad core cpu).

First of all. What is point of this post? And second you should never ever declare yourself as hacker proof. That is like asking someone hack your system. I am not hacker proof but try reduce attack surface best I can

yes lol Wonder if offical microsoft service pack for windows 98FE adressed corruption issue. I remember downloading update to from windows update before got win98SE cd and even on win98fe only reason to drive corruption was bsod caused by one driver. I used 98FE 7 years and flash drives never caused issues

^this. Also it is your life not someone else. If you want live it way you like do it while you can. Nobody else can desire what you should like or do. Something I learnt when grew up. I do not have to please anybody. And if live way you want no need regret in 40 years why did not enjoy life. No reason to stop.

being younger does not mean you cannot feel nostalgic. Last thing years been way faster than 10 years before it (too fast to me lol).

I'm feeling: old color screen phones with cameras, operator logos, fast broadbands, large (over 100gb) hard disks, flatscreen hd televisions just became new hot thing then I realised that was over 15 years ago. I still remember seeing 32" flatscreen plasma tv on friend and thinking how tv can fit such thin case.

Same issue as on new Youtube layout. Old one worked perfectly even on windows 2000 using palemoon 26.5 or Firefox 10 esr new one seems need hw accerlation to work proper. likely to push you for newer browser and hardware. One site needed 10 javascripts to be allowed on noscript to enter 4 lines of text

have you tried change useragent for mobile on those sites? on about:config create new string called general.useragent.override.facebook.com and set value "Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Tablet; rv:51.0) Gecko/51.0 Firefox/51.0" without quotes. That should give you better performance but still desktop usable UI on facebook.

Kernel source code from sp1. SP2 kernel was more like windows server 2003 kernel. Many of sp1 security issues were fixed on sp2 (many were ones nt4 had) and on security updates so many attacks may fail.

For me using xp is not just the internet. It is lot more too. I got adobe photoshop, gimp2, paintdotnet, illustrator for photo editing. Then pinnacle 12, adobe premiere, avidemux for video editing. For listening radio/scaning radio freqs I got SDRsharp with RTL-SDR dongle. For tv I got happauge wintv soloHD DVB-C/DVB-T/DVB-T2 tuner that I use with DVBviewer to watch/record free tv channels. Then I got lot of films/videos/music/other contect on my hdd and windvd to play ones I got on dvd. For remote management of computers I got putty (latest build). Then I got old visual studio, pythonXP, microsoft XDX, symbian SDK for coding. For web I use mypal browser by Feodor2 and for email mailnews and for chatting escargot msn messenger 7.5 trough httpsproxy. I am sending this post from that xp system. For word editing office xp and openoffice. For pdf view sumatrapdf, then to sync data off phone nokia pc suite Then got plenty of games (half-life 1, 2, ms flight sim 2004, sims3, toca 3, quake 3, doom3, gt legends, dirt for starters) and all of my games controllers works on xp. I cannot see lot more things I would have to do on pc. So no XP is not going anywhere soon on me. And for some claims I found online. 1. XP will get flooded with viruses when connected to internet: well possibly will get attacked if connected to internet directly with public IP like ADSL broadband did back in 2005 here. 80% of computers are not connected to internet rather to lan that redirects requests to gateway on router and to internet. I got NAT and proper network level firewall (no upnp) and did not have that issue. I also use up to date browser with noscript 2. XP cannot support sata hdd or over 137gb hdd: yes xp cannot see more than 137gb if you got pre sp1 xp and no services packs at all. For sata if on achi mode need have sata controller driver I got 2x1tb hard drives on xp at SATA mode (both formatted at setup) and zero issues 3. XP cannot utilise multicore cpu: XP home edition is limited to 2 physical cpu/cores and pro to 4 physical cpu/cores. Multi cpu and core systems were out way before even vista came out. I have seen xp workstation with 4x pentium 3 xeons long ago. I got quad core phenom x4 945 and all cores works well on multicore enabled application. 4. XP is not optimised to fast computers: how do you define fast system? And it is not xp that utilises all system resources to it own use. Apps do and I have used lot of cpu intensive apps without notable slowdown compared win10 for example on same pc if no sure test it and do not believe all FUD they spread online.

Do you have performance issues? If no then depends

I got 2gb used on idle out 32gb that is completely normal. Why windows vista or 7 shows higher ram usage is because how task manager works. Windows preserves ram to mostly used softwares (superfetch) and some other things and frees up from it when needed. It just way win7 works. XP did different way (on it I got 150-300mb idle). Unless you got huge performance problems I would not worry about it

actually set it to no proxy how you run it now? On second pc or in same?

I got 100mb/s down 10mb/s up cable modem connection for 10 euros per month with public IP. It is offered all renters on many areas in finland. Then 4 euros for unmetered 200kb/s mobile connection on phone (basic package).

are you getting invalid password and need hit login prompt multiple times before login? If yes it is related to buggy tls on xp. You can fix it with proxhttpsproxy. Either run it locahost or at LAN. Do you use it laptop or desktop and do you only use it at home?

Do not overthink. My way is this. For most use cases expect programming with python I use windows 7. For python I use linux mint LTS and in my opinion it was easier confgure python on linux. No need download installer just use apt. VMWARE 15 is fine for many years and I got bare metal ESXI hypervisor for any other uses with virtualisation. It can be used over any somewhat decent browser. Also you can get limited noncommercial licence for it free by making my vmware account. Also I can use new vmware tools down to vmware 7. If you do not want win10 consider linux and win7 dualboot. Just need second ssd and grub does rest. LTS is non rolling release of mint. And installing mint wont need lot configure. Just install it and depending gpu you can be good to go out of box (amd gpu). It also wont harm your win7 install

kernel mode driver update number is KB2685811 and user mode KB2685813. If you can access windows update you got sha2 update. If you got no those two just click links (ones with kb number)

Any new one. Titan RTX, RTX 3090, 3080 etc got drivers. Also amd new gpu drivers for 6000 series lists win7 as support. I recommend install sha2 signature update and kernel and user mode driver updates for win7. Nvidia driver need sha update Good. I though you were advanced power user. You know security well then

Have you enabled wireless network support on server manager? Open up server manager go to add roles and features. Skip roles part on feature tab select wireless network support. By default windows server got wireless network support disabled. Also after enabling it make sure wireless adapter is enabled on bios and windows device manager
