dirtwarrior Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 On linux OS there is a way to update the kernel as a newer 1 comes out. Can the NT kernel be updated from newer NT based OS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 no, you can upgrade the OS, but not just the kernel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 The "problem" (if it can even be called that) with updating the NT kernel is that the kernel isn't necessarily a stand-alone entity, as the Linux kernel is. If you have mismatched your kernel with the other files on your system, you will run into problems with stability and usability, especially with .dll functionality. If you wanted to use NT4 with a Windows 2000 kernel, you would need to replace almost all of the NT4 files with W2K files - and at that point, you'd basically be running Windows 2000 anyway .Updating the NT kernel files is possible, but it requires an almost wholesale update of all other critical core files on the system, thus giving you a system that is basically running the updated version of Windows already (and even this isn't going to be the most stable OS you've ever used).
