Just for future reference, in the VM settings, you should be able to change the close action from 'Hibernate' to 'Shutdown', which will then allow you to modify the VM configuration using the GUI.
When doing this, you could take care to see to it that you have nested vt-d enabled. It essentially allows for recursive *hardware* virtualization. It has a much, much, muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch lighter impact, since it actually uses the page table functionality for emulation and can execute instructions directly.
Super cool... That grey interface plus super colorful big buttons on the Sun Virtualbox app brought me right back to 2004/2005, the "golden age" of computing, before things became so "corporate" and "clean"
I was triggered like hell. LIKE DUDE!!! And even if you don't see that almost every adept win guy knows the shutdown command which should work or at least try it
I had a PC designed for Windows ME and I loved it. I know people give it crap, but it was mostly hardware compatibility issues. Similar to Vista - I loved Vista but I had a Thinkpad designed to run Vista so no problems.
I don't think your biggest performance hit is the RAM, it's the fact that you have the host(XP) and client(ME) sharing CPU resources on the same core. I'm interested in seeing if there would be a performance boost by switching the XP VM from Virtual PC to either VMware Player or Virtual Box where you can dedicate cores to the VMs. So if you gave Windows 7 4 cores, you'll give Windows XP 2 cores and Windows ME 1 core.
Windows Me gave me so much hell on my first laptop. It used to blue screen me all the time, can't tell you how many times I had to do a reinstall. Then finally when windows Xp came out I installed that and it was so much more stable than Me. Looking forward to seeing you install it down to windows 3.1.
The issue with the lag may be from the amount separation between the gpu and the lowest vm coupled with the amount of CPU that's available through xp mode
You could just have shut down the XP-Mode VM using the command line shutdown.exe... To speed things up, you could prepare the VMs on your host machine. Just install Virtual Box there (or use the portable version) and transfer the hard disk file into the vm when everything is installed and running. And give the VMs a lot more RAM. Nested virtualization really suffers from swapping. So you want to avoid swapping within your nested VMs as much as possible.
I think this is possible because those older VirtualBox versions used "binary translation" to do the emulation. This means no hardware virtualization features were used. The emulator worked more like cross-architecture emulators, for example the mame/mess game emulators. It looked at the machine language code, and 'translated' this into some other machine language code, which was what actually got run by your machine. So, all the spooky magic happened in that translation step, i.e., not letting the virtual machine run amok and break your host (as you can imagine, this was hard to make into a super-safe, rock-solid isolation layer, the way hardware-based emulators are supposed to be, nowadays). Early versions of vmware (before vmware was an astronomically expensive "framework" -- later the initial "vmware" product was rebranded as "vmware workstation") worked this same way... I believe, going all the way back to its origins as someone's doctoral dissertation or something like that. BTW, I happened to stumble across the changelog just yesterday and Oracle just removed that translation-based execution mode from the VirtualBox product in the most recent release (6.1, if I'm not mistaken).
I wouldn’t use XP mode for this task. Download Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 instead. You’ll need a retail XP and do all the regular setting up stuff users are required to do, but at least you’ll have more control over the virtual hardware settings and assign more RAM. Still, I’d love to see getting all previous Windows versions installed. They’ll be so many layers of VMs it’ll be like a virtual ogre.
@Skytrace Ling OFFICIAL It was just a suggestion as the UI is almost exactly the same as XP mode VM while still offering host OS integration. However I've used both VMware and VirtuaBox and I do agree they are superior. Anything, though, is better than XM mode VM.
I remember someone at Microsoft saying that not only is this Windows XP Mode, but if you choose to manually install Windows Vista or, for whatever reason, Windows 7 inside Windows Virtual PC. You can consider those Windows Vista Mode and Windows 7 Mode, respectedly.
I was going to point out the "How do I shut down" help thing but I see others have pointed it out already.

Yup. You can actually use the disk image from XP Mode for this. I know that VMware supported importing it directly and actually setup specific settings to enable most of the integration that VPC supplied.
“How do I shutdown?” Start menu > 2nd Column > Run type in “shutdown -s -t 0” That should work. If not, sign out and there may be an option called, “shutdown”
You clearly did beat me, I did use 'Windows NT 4.0'-VM and 'Windows 3.0/MS-DOS 6.0'-VM on 'Ubuntu Mate 19.10'-VM on my Ubuntu 19.10 host. I did install those Windows VMs long long ago and now I just copied it to the right folders on the vdi disk. Peace of cake, just allow nested virtualization in the VM and changed the Host key for the next level :) I like to try to store all VMs in the shared folder, but that might only work for the first two levels. A shared folder of a shared folder might not be allowed :) However using SAMBA it should work.
Can you do this? Yes. Should you do this? No. I always love the experiment videos. I used to do experiments on systems for stress tests and compatibility back in the day. That was so much fun.
There is a couple of ways you could shutdown that virtual machine that I can think of, when in the machine go to system32 and run the shutdown.exe if its not there copy it to the machine, But also there was a blue help option in settings under ram saying "how to shutdown" which you could check :)
simply use cmd in admin and type "shutdown /s" for regular shutdown and "shutdown /r" for restarts as some updates require an OS reload and some software as well in xp mode it simply hides the button as it wants the faster restore of hibernate rather than allowing you to actually shut down as a layman any of the obscure shutdown methods will work, and you may actually be able to enforce a shutdown command in the host hypervisor window which acts like a network shutdown to the guest os yeah sometimes silly things are done in the name of making it harder for noobs to do unintended things
Regarding 10:20 "not knowing how to shut down Windows XP in Windows XP mode because the Shutdown button is missing: I would say that invoking the run box by pressing "Win Key + R" and then typing the following on the RUN box: shutdown -s -t 0 should force it to shut down. By the way the "-s" part tells the shutdown command to shutdown the computer, if you wanted to restart it you would use "-r" instead, the "-t 0" command tells the shutdown command to shut it down right away instead of waiting for the default 60 seconds if you did not use the "-s 0" command. the "0" part can be replaced by any second for example, if you want the shutdown command to execute the command in 2 minutes you would type "-t 120" for 120 seconds. There is no limit to the number of seconds you can use allowing you to run a command hours later if you like. If you would like to cancel a shutdown command you can invoke the run box again and type: shutdown -a and press enter. "-a" cancels the shutdown command. * If invoking the RUN box is not possible under XP mode, then you can run the CMD prompt by either finding it under accessories/system tools in the start menu or by going the long way and searching for it on c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe and under the cmd prompt you can run the same command and it should work just fine.
Maybe even try running Windows 10 inside of Windows 8.1 inside Windows 8 inside 7 inside Vista inside XP etc. Going up in version numbers instead of down!
There are older ports of qemu that exist for 9x based machines, plus dos had some virtual machine software itself. You should be able to find alot of this old stuff on win world.
25:48 It says (Remote) because it uses REMOTE Desktop Connection/Protocol to connect the VM thus you only see Logoff and Windows Security instead of the "normal" shutdown..
It's going to be a hard time getting a working x86 emulator for Windows 9x. The first kernel accelerated emulator compatible-Windows is KQemu. I know that is possible to run old version of Qemu inside of any Windows 9x (as it can run on any plataform like PSP), but it will take a hard time porting. Remember: DOSBOX runs on Windows 9x and it is possible to install Windows 95 on it...
Sorry to torture you here, but windows ME has a virtual machine software called boches, so technically, it's possible to go down to windows 98 or 95. Also, I've done quite a bit of VM In Vm experiments over the years and I've concluded that windows can descend in this order: Windows 10 Windows 8 Windows 7 Windows Vista Windows XP Windows 2k Windows 98 Windows NT 4 Windows 95 Here is a list of VM software for every release of windows that I used Windows 10 VirtualBox 6 8- XP Virtualbox 5 2k Virtualbox 1.5.0 98 VMware 1.0.4 or boches 2.6 Windows NT 4 an old version of VMware I can't remember or find which one
20:52 I only saw memes and heard myths that Windows ME crashes even during installation now I saw it XD Am not sure of this, but I think the Windows 9x lineup does not support virtualization and hence no VM Manager exists for Windows ME or older, only existing for Windows 2000 and higher (NT Lineup), you'd have to sort to emulation which is even more slower than virtualization.
10:50 I am following along your VM-ception experiment and you could shut down Windows XP by clicking on the Taskbar and pressing Alt+F4 to show the Shutdown dialog.
cool i will try this as soon as possible,I did try doing this before where i try to install windows 2000 inside of windows 11 vm inside of my main windows 11 laptop
I remember when I was a kid, back when I was just getting into experimenting with VMs, I would always get stumped with those warning boxes while trying to install VirtualBox because I had never encountered them before and I, back then, wasn't one to read options before clicking and I would almost always click STOP Installation by accident. That's probably why I stuck with Microsoft Virtual PC 2004-2007 then.
Something you could try next time is to run Windows 2000 in virtualbox in XP mode. Then run Windows NT 4.0 in Windows 2000 and then run Windows NT 3.0 in Windows 4.0. This may work better as all of these versions are NT Based.
Very interesting proof of concept 😁✌️ To shutdown use command Start - - > run and write "shutdown -s -t 0 Ez :) Edit: windows me is very buggie, you may be lucky with windows 98 😉👍
the reason (maybe) why it gave all those errors is because me is not meant to run on modern hardware just like 95 and 98, if you got a patch then it probably wouldnt display those errors
I am aware of the “How do I shutdown” link in the help documentation. I even went into it in the original cut of this video, but edited it out as I felt at the time this pertained to regular VMs and not XP mode.

Can you go further and run Windows 98 on ME? Surly thers some really old VM software that can do it
Regarding 10:20 "not knowing how to shut down Windows XP in Windows XP mode because the Shutdown button is missing: I would say that invoking the run box by pressing "Win Key + R" and then typing the following on the RUN box: shutdown -s -t 0 should force it to shut down. By the way the "-s" part tells the shutdown command to shutdown the computer, if you wanted to restart it you would use "-r" instead, the "-t 0" command tells the shutdown command to shut it down right away instead of waiting for the default 60 seconds if you did not use the "-s 0" command. the "0" part can be replaced by any second for example, if you want the shutdown command to execute the command in 2 minutes you would type "-t 120" for 120 seconds. There is no limit to the number of seconds you can use allowing you to run a command hours later if you like.
If you would like to cancel a shutdown command you can invoke the run box again and type: shutdown -a and press enter. "-a" cancels the shutdown command.
* If invoking the RUN box is not possible under XP mode, then you can run the CMD prompt by either finding it under accessories/system tools in the start menu or by going the long way and searching for it on c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe and under the cmd prompt you can run the same command and it should work just fine.
Installing windows 98 in a 2000vm in a xp vm in a vista vm in a 7 vm in a 8 vm in a 10 vm in a 11 vm in parallel on mac
Optional:
in a vm in linux
I started using VMs in 2009 too!
i started around 2012-15
Amazing Video!
Thank you!
I am running windows XP on my iPad!
If you want to get VMs working on Windows ME, you can always try KernelEx, and if that doesn't work, try an older program called Bochs.
Maybe even try running Windows 10 inside of Windows 8.1 inside Windows 8 inside 7 inside Vista inside XP etc. Going up in version numbers instead of down!
There are older ports of qemu that exist for 9x based machines, plus dos had some virtual machine software itself. You should be able to find alot of this old stuff on win world.
25:48 It says (Remote) because it uses REMOTE Desktop Connection/Protocol to connect the VM thus you only see Logoff and Windows Security instead of the "normal" shutdown..
I found you can actually hit alt+F4 in the VM and it brings up the normal shutdown prompt in xp mode. Test it if you wish.
My first PC ran Windows Me. 10 Gb hard drive, 400MHz Celeron 370, and a whopping 256 Mb ram(later upgraded to 512 Mb). What a beast.
It's going to be a hard time getting a working x86 emulator for Windows 9x. The first kernel accelerated emulator compatible-Windows is KQemu. I know that is possible to run old version of Qemu inside of any Windows 9x (as it can run on any plataform like PSP), but it will take a hard time porting. Remember: DOSBOX runs on Windows 9x and it is possible to install Windows 95 on it...
"Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today."
Maybe qemu will work on Windows Me, that's my best suggestion.
You could also run 2K in the XP VM and run Me inside of that to add yet another layer.
Sorry to torture you here, but windows ME has a virtual machine software called boches, so technically, it's possible to go down to windows 98 or 95. Also, I've done quite a bit of VM In Vm experiments over the years and I've concluded that windows can descend in this order:
Windows 10
Windows 8
Windows 7
Windows Vista
Windows XP
Windows 2k
Windows 98
Windows NT 4
Windows 95
Here is a list of VM software for every release of windows that I used
Windows 10 VirtualBox 6
8- XP Virtualbox 5
2k Virtualbox 1.5.0
98 VMware 1.0.4 or boches 2.6
Windows NT 4 an old version of VMware I can't remember or find which one
I would love to see a Windows XP install have a VM running Windows 11
20:52 I only saw memes and heard myths that Windows ME crashes even during installation now I saw it XD
Am not sure of this, but I think the Windows 9x lineup does not support virtualization and hence no VM Manager exists for Windows ME or older, only existing for Windows 2000 and higher (NT Lineup), you'd have to sort to emulation which is even more slower than virtualization.
10:50 I am following along your VM-ception experiment and you could shut down Windows XP by clicking on the Taskbar and pressing Alt+F4 to show the Shutdown dialog.
cool i will try this as soon as possible,I did try doing this before where i try to install windows 2000 inside of windows 11 vm inside of my main windows 11 laptop
I remember when I was a kid, back when I was just getting into experimenting with VMs, I would always get stumped with those warning boxes while trying to install VirtualBox because I had never encountered them before and I, back then, wasn't one to read options before clicking and I would almost always click STOP Installation by accident. That's probably why I stuck with Microsoft Virtual PC 2004-2007 then.
Something you could try next time is to run Windows 2000 in virtualbox in XP mode. Then run Windows NT 4.0 in Windows 2000 and then run Windows NT 3.0 in Windows 4.0. This may work better as all of these versions are NT Based.
Very interesting proof of concept 😁✌️
To shutdown use command
Start - - > run and write "shutdown -s -t 0
Ez :)
Edit: windows me is very buggie, you may be lucky with windows 98 😉👍
Windows ME: starts lagging
Me: loads shotgun with malicious intent
Windows ME: stops lagging
You should've just opened command prompt or the run prompt and typed in "shutdown -s" to shut XP Mode down....
What you're doing is called “nested virtualisation”
the reason (maybe) why it gave all those errors is because me is not meant to run on modern hardware just like 95 and 98, if you got a patch then it probably wouldnt display those errors
