Oh, and tomasz86 has also created a compilation where you can install every single NET framework from MS, from 1.0 all the way to 4.0 and applications that require 4.0 really run on Windows 2000 now.Modem and TV-out not tested. But I've been using Windows 2000 for 12 years and have used it well beyond the cutoff date, doesn't bother me a bit. Funny though because my Windows 2000 computer really seems a lot more stable and less crash prone than my Windows XP laptop downstairs. I also personally believe that Windows 2000 is a bit less resource dependent than XP so it seems to have a bit more power. We've also modified a lot of programs that were XP only to work on Windows 2000 as well. Of course you still have a bit of an issue with drivers but there are even unofficial drivers that work great with Windows 2000. Simply put, Windows 2000 with UURollup installed will have some XP/Vista/7 components in it which I believe makes 2000 a lot better than XP. I'm going to go out on a limb and say yes simply because UURollup contains blackwingcat's kernel and core updates which actually contain some Vista/7 extensions. Im sure Windows 2000 will work just fine here, does there exists any extra benefits for having it over XP? Of course the support for 2000 was dropped a while ago but you guys and all the community here are doing great job for extending it. I can also assist you with it as well since I'm a Win2000 expert as well. You'd want to look for Unofficial Update Rollups here compiled by tomasz86. Check out the Windows 2000 projects if you're interested, but I highly recommend it because Windows 2000 gives you that Windows 98 feel and the inner works of the NT line. We have LOTS of projects going on with that and there about a 75% chance all your devices will function under Windows 2000, the only thing that *MIGHT* be an issue is the Acer Nplify 802.11b/g/n. My suggestion to you bud is try Windows 2000. Also sorry about my spelling because English is not my native language.Īnd by the way my real name is Georgi (in English George). Which programs to install/to not install? KernelEX is a must for sure.Īny advice will be appreciated and sorry if I sound like complete noob but I want this thing on my laptop. How I can pass the limits of Windows 98 - for example RAM size, etc.?Ĥ. Is there exists any 98 SE install which can be installed without first installing DOS? And how I can wipe out my C drive before the actual 98 install?ģ. I can install every Windows but in a virtual machine the feeling is different. Installation - I'm a little bit afraid about MS DOS and Windows 98 installations because my hardware at all and my skills at second place. Any advice where I can get them for 98? With XP was fairly easy.Ģ. The reason why I want this? Maybe because Im crazy nerd but hell I love retro software and games! Now Im using here Windows XP SP3 x86. If further hardware specific things are required I can give them. I want to install Windows 98 SE on my laptop which is Acer Aspire 5738Z. This was my first OS and still the favorite one but now I have a huge dilemma: Im new here but for me Windows 98 SE is not a new experience at all.
