In this video, I will show that it is possible to upgrade from Windows 1.0 to Windows 11 on actual hardware without a VM (Virtual Machine) and without a fresh install (yes, it is possible). If you’re watching this video, you’ve probably seen other videos showing that it’s possible to upgrade from Windows 1.0 to 8 or 10 without a fresh install, whether it was on a VM or an actual PC. That was possible because there were 32-bit releases available of every version of Windows from XP onwards, but with Windows 11, there is no 32-bit version available. Because of this, many people that want to perform a Windows 1.0 to 11 upgrade must now clean install a 64-bit version of Windows, which defeats the purpose of the “true“ upgrade path. Though with the proper workarounds, it is possible to keep your files and do a true upgrade through every version of Windows on an actual PC still, and this video takes you on that journey. I’ll put some useful information about the upgrade (as well as credit to the videos that made my journey possible) down below for those interested. Check out the version without the 4x speed-up here: Please read the pinned comment if you’re curious why I didn’t include Windows 2000 or other earlier versions of Windows running on the NT kernel. NOTE: I am in no way affiliated with Microsoft or with any individuals/companies linked in the description of this video. This video is purely for entertainment/educational purposes and I do not recommend doing this unless it’s on a VM I performed this upgrade path on a Dell Vostro 1400 laptop which has the following specs -Intel Core 2 Duo T5470 64-bit CPU -2GB RAM -120GB SATA HDD Here is the upgrade path I followed: - DOS 7.1 - Windows - Windows - Windows 3.0 - Windows 3.1 - Windows 95 - Windows 98 - Windows ME - Windows XP Home Edition - Windows Vista Home Premium - Windows 7 Home Premium - Windows 8 Beta (Build 7963) - Windows 8 Pro - Windows 8.1 Pro - Windows 10 Pro - Windows 11 Pro You can view the product keys I used here - These keys will NOT activate your copy of Windows, they are only used for getting Windows installed. In Windows , you will see I deleted some files. These files prevented the upgrade to Windows 3.0 and had to be removed first. In Windows 3.1, I had to go into the file and add a line that limits how much RAM Windows 95/98/ME can see or else they would crash. I also had to rename the and files in 3.1 before the upgrade to 95. In the middle of the upgrade to Windows 95, I had to use a SATA patch or else the OS would have problems booting off my HDD. Sadly the creator of this amazing patch, Rudolph R. Loew, has passed away and so his tools are no longer available from him directly. You can find many of his useful tools, like the SATA patch, on preservation sites like . In Windows 98, I used the drive converter to convert the drive to FAT32. I then used Parted Magic to extend the Windows install to fill the 120GB of space (which allowed me to copy the remaining Windows installers to the HDD). In Windows XP, I converted the drive to NTFS which was needed to continue the upgrade. After Windows 7, I had to upgrade to a specific build of the Windows 8 beta, build 7963. To force it to upgrade, I had to use a program called ShowHideControls to show me the option to upgrade. Doing this allowed me to “upgrade“ from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version without
