Windows XP - Velkommen [Official Remastered OOBE Music] 

Rest in peace, Stan LePard. This track is a timeless classic and is fondly remembered by millions of people around the world. Your contributions to Microsoft's other software, such as Windows 98, Encarta, Halo, Office and many others, were also top notch.

Stan LePard was also responsible for the incredible theme music of MS Flight Simulator X.

This music was produced during 1994?! I always thought it was actually produced in 2001 because Windows XP is where the music in the SoundCloud link in this video's description is the most popular. I really had no way of knowing that it was actually produced in the 1990s until now. That's amazing! Anyway, this remastered music is cool. Windows XP was one of my childhood Windows operating systems.

This is smooth as ice , soft as snow , cool as winter in short this is the COOLEST tune ever

Rest in Peace Windows XP Nobody will forget you ;(

Microsoft should really add this back to the Windows setup.... it’s magical. Likewise, Apple should definitely do first-boot Welcome vídeos on Mac again.

In 2006 I was 12 years old. I lost a friend very dear to me. For the next 7 years I listened to this music I knew only as "Windows welcome music" at least 100 times a day for the next seven years. I was going through a really bad depression and did not want to live anymore. This piece of music helped me through those difficult times and saved my life. I have listened to this song literally thousands of times. The other day I discovered a video about who made the music and found out it was Stan Lepard. I went to go and track him down so I could thank him for such a amazing piece of music that impacted my entire life. RIP Stan Lepard. I am so sorry that I did not get to thank you. I hope you are in a better place now and know that you changed at least one life.

0:21 - love how the chords here begin to stack along with that guitar sounding synth, it's honestly beautiful

If Microsoft Windows ever gets one final product, this is the menu music.

I wish Stan LePard would stay on this world longer. Look what he created! He created these masterpieces of music such as this iconic song! And it’s the most infamous song even by one of Microsoft’s naming for it being called… Title.wma But R.I.P Stan LePard e n e s a t c e

You don’t realize how much I’ve always wanted this tune in higher quality. Thanks so much for sharing this! 😄

So recently, Stan LePard has posted a remastered version of the original mix from 1996: soundcloud.com/stanlepard/1996-internet-starter-kit-velkommen-original-mix. The version included in this video was an edited version used for Windows 98's setup according to LePard, although I'm pretty sure it never made it into there. (Edit: it is from 1996, the metadata's year is more likely alluding to when the software he used was released)

Thank you, Stan LePard for this masterpice. God may rest his soul.

He was the composer of plants vs zombies adventures, RIP Stan Lepard

Literally this is the theme of my childhood happy sunny days nothing to worry about

for a song thats 30 years old in 2 years time, it is absolutely timeless

I remember having Windows XP on my parent's laptop when I was a child. I will always remember this song.

Music from another world. Thank you Stan for the beautiful memories with XP

Windows XP was truly an OS from the future just look at the style statement whether the wallpapers, the sounds, the intros the tours, the file manager, the speed, the snappyness... omg can't believe this ironic world. Windows XP was and always will be the *"SR-71 Blackbird"* of OSes it never gets better than that

I feel like there should be a Windows XP texture pack for Windows 10.

RIP Stan. We Will Miss You Forever And Beyond.

Even TODAY, this music is hopeful, futuristic, and fresh!

This sounds so cursed. Not because it’s so high quality but because it’s so short

* Play at .95 % speed for a light slower but yet interesting tone of Welcome :D

I played this the last minutes of 2022, and at midnight, I played the XP startup~

Came to check out the remaster because of Michael MJD

Thank you, Stan LePard. I mever knew you but you made life that much better by making this song.

Rest in peace to the big guy... i bet he be jammin with his works of art in heaven.

This song reminds me of the good times I spent with my brother.

R.I.P Stan LePard, Your music was legendary

I miss XP man

best picture is the one with the dog

XP is almost 23 years old 😮

The graphic design for this video picture is REALLY GOOD. its very nostalgic

this brings a tear to my eye, so many memories

This will always be nostalgic to everyone, even if i dont use windows xp,it will be still nostalgic to me and all of the people.

What an unexpected yet pleasant surprise. I'm glad this was found and archived.

1996 version and the 2020 may be awesome. They only gave me some childhoods

what's weird is that this song was actually added in the out of box experience last second for just no reason

This is so cool to hear! I wonder why the name of the track is the Danish word for “Welcome”, though

i've always loved this track ever since hearing it during setup

When your soul get uploaded to heaven after you leave earth.

The sound no one knew about because the Sound Drivers weren’t configured properly

This music stuck in my head since 2007, the first time i know computer

I was born not long before windows 7 release but somehow my kindergarten school has windows xp running in 2012 lol

Let me break down your description: "A remastered(?) version of Windows XP's OOBE music" It obviously is so, no need of the (?) "Said upload erroneously states it was used in Windows 98, but that wasn't the case." It actually says "Used in the "Home" version of Windows 98 for the set up music." This can easily be guessed as Windows ME, which has a OOBE that is built similarly to XP's OOBE unlike with 98's. Seeing how this OOBE style made it's way into Whistler, the beta version of XP, and slowly shaped itself into how it is now in the final release, it can be guessed that the music was planned to be used with ME's OOBE but ended up being delayed into XP's instead. "It however, does reveal, that it was originally made for Internet Explorer 3 Starter Kit *(although according to a Quora post it was scrapped and reused for XP)"* This is untrue, it DID make it into the Internet Explorer 3 Starter Kit. Many say it was during installing Internet Explorer 3 through the CD, but really it's after when the computer is restarted. You will get to a full screen page (which after exiting, you can open by clicking the CD's icon on My Computer), and when the Internet Explorer animation finishes or you click on it, it'll bring you to a screen full of interactive archived webpages, extra utilities to install relating to IE3, and a guide on how to get connected. As you are there, the same exact music from XP's OOBE will play, which you can mute/unmute by pressing the little speaker icon to the bottom right. If you want to install it on a Windows 95 machine to try out, the link for it can be found here; archive.org/details/Internet_Explorer_3.0_Promotional_CD The only difference between this, and the actual Starter Kit (which is near impossible to find online that isn't in Czech), is that there is no compatibility for Windows 3.1 on the Promotional CD. If you really want the Czech copy, to prove it isn't only on the Promotional CD, here you go; ulozto.net/file/CtfyaQTtp4U2/microsoft-internet-explorer-starterkit-cs-iso The Windows 95 portion includes IE3.0 (4.70.1155), and the Windows 3.1 IE2.1 (2.10.524) Also, a neat fact; these Internet Explorer 3 Starter Kits came pre-bundled with Upgrade copies of Windows 95.

Evrybody gansta until the Latin chants start

What a fresh new world that was, at that time new..

Do you perhaps have the remastered Windows ME Welcome to Windows theme? Despite all ME's flaws, that video's music was funky

This gives me nostalgia looking at the old computers people Still use at offices normally when i see a old computer this song goes right in my head and starts playing like when i first got my sega genesis mini and i booted it up and i played sonic 1 and sonic2! And title.wma was playing like a disk in my head

i hope they make an option where you can change between the windows 9x/xp/vista/10/11 themes in the newer versions of windows and ofc add this music back to the oobe

Last time I remember this song in a video of robotboy's images

Finally I found this in bettery quality. Can you upload a flac file somewhere?

RIP Stan Lepard

It would be nice if you remaster the original velkommen full 5.25 mins. This is the 2021/2020 remix of it.

There are 2 dislikers among us.

Hey!! Sound Card is Working

Attention tech companies: invest in creative talent.

Some ambient parts reminds me slightly of creatures 1996

If microsoft has a heart, they'll use this on the Windows 11 install screen. :)

2:45 goes hard

The song nobody ever heard because they had no sound driver installed
