Today we're going to explore if its possible to "upgrade" from XP to Neptune. Even though Neptune predates XP, its NT version number is higher. This makes Windows think that XP can be upgraded to Neptune. So is it actually possible? Let's find out!

There could be 2 reasons why this didn't work: 1. It is possible that you would need to upgrade from Windows 2000 to XP before upgrading to Neptune, as it was looking for a winnt folder instead of a Windows folder. 2. The upgrade probably doesn't work on Windows XP Home Edition to Microsoft Neptune, because Microsoft Neptune is based on Windows 2000 Professional, and for it to be upgraded you might need Windows XP Professional as opposed to XP Home.

@winelectronic101 4 года назад

@Santosh T Yes, however, it still has Windows 2000 Professional branding.

@Rostol 4 года назад

Exactly, Neptune came after the NAshville beta i think? (or the Chicago?), and was abandoned and became Whistler -> XP

@linux_doggo 4 года назад

@Santosh T it was intended as a home operating system, but it used a Win2KPro base, and as far as windows 2000 is concerned it's a professional version

@everyonesloopy 4 года назад

fun fact: when you insert the cd into Neptune, it'll ask you if you want to upgrade Neptune to Neptune, the only thing I can tell is, it's some sort of setup bug, or, while the cd is 5.5.5111, once installed the files are 5.0.xxxx (or 5.5.xxxx less than 5111, I don't know), so the disc recognizes that, and wants to "upgrade" to Neptune, even though winver states 5.5.5111, that maybe only a text change on the window, and the internal files are like windows 2000 5.0.5111 or something

I am pretty sure you already knew this but the installation folder does not have to be renamed if you upgrade from Windows 2000 I did this prior to this video. I had downloaded a copy from winworld Windows 2000 service pack 4 and upgraded to Windows XP RTM how I did it is that I burned Windows 2000 to a CD from a different computer and installed it on a Toshiba laptop and I had the ISO file of Windows XP RTM I had then extracted the ISO file to run the installation of Windows XP and of course during setup there was the option to a fresh install or an upgrade Just a little suggestion if in case you were interested.

I myself 'm trying to run windows nt 3.1 on a pc which was installed on a vm. I sucessfully installed nt 3.1 to a vm and cloned the vdi to a regular file, of course not at beginning of the vdi file but where mbr inside vdi is. You can use WinHex or some other tool. Then i restored the captured part to the target pc... a pentium 4 1.8ghz with 768mb of ram and 80gb of hdd... and sadly it doesnt work. Then completed the setup in the vm and restored to the pc and sp3 and restored... no joy. Then i installed Acronis os selector 5 to a mini partition and resized and moved the partition and Winnt 3.1 booted and checked the disk and booted ok into nt 3.1. Then i logged in and there was some crashes and nt 3.1 works ok. But after a reboot... no longer works. Windows All-in-one 2 set dvd you showed in a video has windows nt 3.1 but i guess it's an unpatched version. Windows nt 3.1 upgrade saga isnt great in virtualbox because you need to delete the vm and reuse the vdi file with a new created vm for the target os to be installed.
