Upgrade (Im)possible 3 - Windows XP RTM to Service Pack 3
Do not try this at home! They say you can't update Windows XP RTM to SP3 without upgrading to SP1 or SP2 first, but is that actually true? Let's say, there is a way which is not intended by Microsoft.

This has been requested by ⚡LSP on Discord. Android 4.4 normally uses a Linux 3.10 kernel, but what if we replaced it with the Linux 5.4 kernel from Android 12? Would it still work? Is it possible at all on my computer? Let's find this out.

00:00 Intro
00:19 Preparing the VM
02:34 Getting the source code for Android 4.4 and for the Linux 5.4 kernel
08:26 Trial and error
26:55 Installing Android-x86 4.4
27:41 Putting a more modern, prebuilt kernel onto the installation
30:38 Conclusion so far and outro
I was using the following specifications
- Host: Windows 10 22H2 x64
- GPU: AMD Radeon R7 240
Build VM
- Hypervisor: VMware Workstation 12 Player
- Guest: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS x64 (Google recommends 14.04)
- CPU: 1 out of 2 cores from the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400¹
- RAM: 6 out of 12 GB of DDR3 RAM²
- VHDs: 60 GB on one hard drive, 300 GB on another³
Test VM:
- Hypervisor: VMware Workstation 12 Player
- Guest: Android-x86 4.4 KitKat x86 (obviously)
- CPU: 1 out of 2 cores from the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
- RAM: 3 out of 12 GB of DDR3 RAM
- VHD: 32 GB on the secondary internal HDD
¹ According to Google, 6 cores or more are helpful. Since 2021, Google develops and builds Android on machines with 72 cores.
² According to Google, 16 GB are required for this to work properly. 64 GB are recommended and used by Google internally. Please don't blame me, my PC doesn't support more than 16 GB of RAM.
³ Google recommends 250 GB for the code and another 150 GB for every compiled build. As I didn't have this much space that can actually be used for this project, I had to hope the 60 GB on my USB HDD and the 300 GB on my secondary internal HDD are enough. Ubuntu, as well as most programs and some backups are on the 60 GB VHD, while the 300 GB VHD is where I stored the Android-related stuff.

Windows, Windows, Windows - why not Ubuntu 8.04 LTS for the start of the EmuGUI Anniversary Marathon? Today, we're going to install the amd64 version of this old Linux distribution.

Well, installing Windows 10 manually is a challenge, but if you want to get a certain role, you must do it. Thanks for the challenge, Windows Technology. Let's say, it was not easy.

I'm sorry for not uploading a video for that long but now, I'm back with an unofficial version of Windows Vista. It's called "Windows Vista Delta Edition" and has been made by Pinky and Skye (not on Odysee). Please note that this is a Beta and you shouldn't install custom versions of Windows onto real hardware anyway.
Links:
- Windows Vista Delta Download*: https://archive.org/details/windows-vista-delta-edition-m1
- Windows Vista Delta Extras Pack Download (for those who are interested): https://archive.org/details/windows-vista-delta-extras-pack
* Please note that this is a customized version of Windows which may be taken down by Microsoft. Also, I recommend that you only install it on a virtual machine.

Thanks for the 100+ subscribers. Due to recently discovered issues with the colour pattern of my current logo, I thought it would be time to unveil a concept of mine containing a more suitable colouring scheme for web design. Before you ask: This time, the warning is useless and only serves the purpose of showing you the full concept.

Well, preparing tutorials for you is a difficult task, especially with this kind of PC! Fortunately however, I got a new graphics card so you can experience 50 FPS now here. And how do we celebrate it the better way than with an installation guide for the 64-bit PowerPC version of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS?

Windows XP is one of the best operating systems ever, I gotta say. Today I'm going to show you how to install the i386 version on a QEMU virtual machine with EmuGUI.
Important: You will need a Windows XP ISO file for this to work! I won't provide any download links to one for legal reasons.
