Successful triple boot of Windows XP, Windows 7 and NixOS on my 2010 ThinkPad Netbook.
It took so many tries and reinstalls.. feeling very proud rn ๐

Congratulations. But why?!
A bit for the challenge. Mainly for playing old games ๐
And for that wallpaper ofc ๐ *bliss*
What is that?
The XP wallpaper
I must have spent half my life installing windows. It was a different time.
I've had my fair share too and generally don't miss it. Not using Windows at all usually ๐
The installing drivers marathon on XP is crazy (I only did audio and video and that took repeated attempts)
Not missing it honestly.
But also feels good to know I still can haha. And have some games running that are difficult to emulate otherwise. ๐
What games exactly?
Dungeon Keeper 2 for example. Or Nox. Or the Warlords Battlecry series (unknown RTS that nobody cares about but one can play dark elves and I love it ๐ )
Smells like nostalgia.
Got to clean the backlog ๐
Now I have to remember how to activate those Windows copies though... I remember there was phone activation and a keygen... Oh goddess
Keygen? Sounds like a nightmare to me if I am being honest.
I need to Google how it worked... I had to enter a serial during installation but now it still says I have to activate within 30 days. Both Win XP and 7. I remember that was a thing but that's all
Thanks ๐ But that's the key entered during installation, the activation is a different step after the fact
See this helps
Congrats ๐ฅณ
