So here are some things I'd like to say: 1.- I highly recommend not using any DPI scaling other than 100% if you want the best experience 2.- For the XP install, you MUST use the x64 version, not the 32-bit nor the 64-bit one 3.- To download almost any attached file from the WinClassic forum, you must have an account beforehand 4.- Windows XP x64 comes with Media Player 10, not 9. Here's a link for the newer version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fta_1j31Pls.html 5.- For the XP version of Mystify to show up on the screensaver list, you must delete or rename the current version "Mystify.scr" inside System32 6. There's no need to copy "scrnsave.scr", my bad. 7. I missed some other screensavers from XP that are located at "C:\Windows\SysWow64", copy those as well 8. Put the AHK scripts in the startup folder, which is located at: "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" 9.- Don't get Firefox 113.0, get 113.02 instead, which I did put in the description 10.- If you see that some parts of the video are muted, that's because one of the songs I used in this video got copyright claimed 11.- Don't forget to install the "Enable SyslistView32" Windhawk mod and remove all the items found on the "Text Replace" mod, after that, type "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" on the Program name box, then type "Mozilla Firefox" on the second box, finally, type "Microsoft Internet Explorer" on the last box.
@rain22738 If you're using a virtual machine, copy and paste the files from the XP vm to your main installation, just like you would copying contents from a folder to another one (Keep in mind that you must have VirtualBox Guest Additions or VMware Tools depending on the virtualization software you choose). If you're copying the files from a physical machine, use a USB drive to copy the contents from your XP installation to Windows 11.
estoy viendo este video para transformar windows 11 en windows xp para filtrar la iso para que la prueben en su maquina virtual lo llamare windows xp 23h2
I gotta say, your Windows 7 transformation video works well on my machine. I've been using it for approx 5 months from now, there's no issues other than some incorrectly displayed due to WindowBlinds but can be easily fixed by excluding it. Able to run Forza Horizon 5 while being on a 2009-esque frutiger aero acrylic operating system feels really isn't right & cool at the same time.
That's a wonderful video, man! I love how you basically turned the most modern Windows into the nostalgic Windows we once knew. You should make a video where you turn Windows 11 into Window 95-98 too.
Listen, I wanted to install a login screen from XP on Windows 10, but there is no Personalization folder in the registry editor, I created it and made the same value, it didn’t help, what should I do in this case?
Try disabling the lockscreen from the Group Policy Editor following the steps from this article: www.groovypost.com/howto/disable-windows-10-lock-screen/ Then to get the XP lockscreen, install "XPLS" (37:39)
@@mramayoskenThe issue is resolved, I just did not reboot the system. I manually created this key in the registry editor and the loading screen is now showing

Might be a dumb question, I've been wanting to do this for a while now, but this is the only thing that's got me thinking about it. Are the possibilities that some things from the whole transformation gets eventually affected by any windows updates? Knowing how Microsoft tends to do a tons of updates, I was wondering if there's any point that it does break it to a certain degree because of that reason. Other than that, I really adoreee your attempt by recreating XP, huge props to make it look almost accurate to the og source!
I'm pretty sure it will due to the requirement of modification of system files that will eventually get replaced with updates, but Windows Update won't work with the icon pack installed anyway, so don't worry about that.
Also, I have two more things to say: I get Window 11 sounds instead of Window XP sounds and search button in the explorer doesn’t work. Is there a way to get these two things to work (I also put the last and this comment in Reddit.)
Looks nice i might do this when im bored of the windows 7 theme. Speaking of which, are you planning to make an update to the windows 7 theme? I mean it works fine for the most part but the windowblinds theme is getting a little bit buggier over time (and also im tired of having to reinstalled the program every month) just asking no pressure ofc
it would be cool if you updated your win 11 to 7 transformation and maybe some more advanced tweaks like the control panel applets if they work on win 11 lol but still a cool transformation!
Heya, thanks for the tutorial! I've ran into an issue though, I've somehow closed the Navigation Pane in Explorer, as it had an X button on it, and I clicked it by mistake. Do you know if there's any way to re-open it in Classic Explorer please? I also have an issue after installing the icons, where viewing a folder in Medium Icons view is fine, but in the Large Icons view, it shows the XP icon, and then an older (looks to be an old 9x or earlier) folder icon behind it.
You can get the navigation pane by clicking on the "Folders" button on the Classic Explorer Bar. Regarding the other thing, that's normal, so keep the icons on medium or lower.
The best transformation! Well I have a question. I can't download XP explorer, when I click on the DOWNLOAD button, it directs me to discord. The website has a white background saying "the content is no longer available". I respectly ask, how did you download XP explorer :) i'm stuck right there...
I put the link to the thread that contains it in the description. In the thread, there should be a link that says "DOWNLOAD", you need to copy the embedded link and put it on the Wayback Machine, as the embedded link no longer exists.
I would like to know what is the resolution of your monitor, because the dpi scale of mine is 125% resolution 1920x1080, I think that for the taskbar not to look so small I would have to enlarge it?
stuck on the logon screen section, there is no "Personalization" key in regedit, I tried just creating the key and then the "NoLockScreen" DWord but that does not work and it still shows the W11 lock screen without showing the classic XP logon.
@@mramayosken Works now, but now I'm realizing an entirely different issue...for some reason I don't have the classic looking context menu that I'm seeing in the video, it's still the Windows 1o styled right click context menu.
i dont have the green arrows in explorer :( Can someone please help me? I also have extremely small text inside my browser aswell as other places, is this normal? or maybe its because I am on a laptop?
Is it possible to apply other XP themes? (embedded, royale, noir, zune) i prefer them over the basic luna theme and was curious specifically about noir. thanks and awesome guide!
Bugged Windows Update is serious problem. This exposes system for threats and lack of new features. Have anyone found alternative for 7TSP GUI 2019 in changing system icons?
thanks so much for this tutorial! when i get to the part at 16:52 i noticed I don't have that bar on my explorer windows. it's there, but it's extremely squished, i can just barely see the windows logo peeking through on the far right and i'm unable to resize it. do you know if there's a fix for this?
The buttons to minimize, maximize, and close look weird after i apply basicthemer 2, they look like the windows xp buttons, but not identical to yours or the real ones,pls help
@@mramayosken To answer your previous comment, yeah i did apply the Luna Blue.reg. But I think its because of my scaling, I have a 1440p screen rn, what would I have to do to change my DPI scale?
@@mramayosken Thank you very much for answering me! So, I tried, but as I use a notebook, I need to leave the DPI it at 120% to get good usability. Wouldn't it be possible to manually change the font size in menus and windows?
i currently have a few problems 1: there is this big dark blue bar near the top of my file explorer instead of being like a tan color as shown in the video 2: sometimes i have to slightly resize a window to get it to load the theme in properly 3: at 1:25:06 i tried to go to my properties but the entire window was black and couldnt even be closed from there i had to close it from the retrobar
hello, i have a little problem; im using windows 10, and how do you disable the lock screen on this OS? when i go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows", well, i dont have the folder "Personalization" any idea how to disable the lockscreen?
hello again, i have a question. how do i disable the classic logon screen? im using the WMP 10 tutorial with the link you put in the pinned comment, and basically you have to do an advanced restart to copy some of the files in the command prompt, but whenever i try to do the advanced restart, i just get a screen with of the classic logon screen, but just without the buttons. sorry for asking so much, but im just getting flooded with problems.
Can you make this trasnformation but in Windows 10? I don't want to destroy/broke my Windows 10 Host System installation, i just create shortcuts from the Wordpad XP, Paint XP and Calculator XP. And my File Explorer takes time to load...
i tried downloading something from the windows xp classic explorer forum on winclassic but it wasnt working so i went to the wayback machine and there was no saved page of it so idk what to do its for 15:36 of the video
hello, i have a problem with the windows XP theme. im just gonna keep it short and simple: i did everything how i was supposed to, and everything works correctly, except for the file explorer; basically whenever i open it, the font is good, but the theme is just plain blue or sometimes even transparent, and i have no idea what causes that nor how to fix it. any ideas?
@@mramayosken hello! i fixed it before i saw this reply and before i installed this, but i dont know if in the correct way. on 3:53, here i clicked the option no, and, well, it basically started working.
@@mramayosken hey, i downloaded this mod and it works! thank you, but i have an another problem with file explorer customization. i did everything i could, but for some reason the icons on the toolbar basically wont show up no matter what. the only diffrence i could notice, was when you were NOT getting the box that says if you want to save changes or not, (notepad) but i did get it.
I have a problem, when i install openshell it says it needs a update, i repair it to update it but the windows explorer update for open shell never goes away, if you can see this comment, help please.
@@mramayosken thanks for the help! btw i will prob ask u later about some other issues im having but i decided to do the entire vid first then have like a list so its easier for you also i dont have a password on my pc do i have to make one for this logon screen to work?
Try disabling the lockscreen from the Group Policy Editor following the steps from this article: www.groovypost.com/howto/disable-windows-10-lock-screen/ or you can use Winaero Tweaker for that
hey the windows xp logon screen showed a different username to my current one but also when i typed the correct password it gave an error saying it cant sign me in EDIT: ITS RANDOMLY WORKING AGAIN LMAO sorry and ty
