Running Modern Software on Windows Vista!

- Yep, you saw the title. We're gonna be running latest versions of software on Windows Vista, including the latest version of Firefox, Google Earth, Whatsapp, and other close to recent versions of software. Surprised? Yeah, I'm lost for words.
If you want to skip me patching and explaining everything, go to 7:20 to see me just running the programs.
WinClient5270's Video: • Windows Vista EXTENDED...
When you realize that Vista is 14 years old... Time flies... I still remember the release of Vista and everyone hated it.
I remember getting my first big tax return the year Vista came out. I burned it all at that time building a new bleeding edge computer at that time in order for it to run well. It ran great and it ran even better after the 2 service packs came out.
Yeah everybody liked seven but guess who released the most popular windows 7 features Vista areo user account control gadgets later discontinued and directx 9
Start menu recycle bin changes and it was plain good if you had a good windows vista pc
I was in college when vista came out, I bought a laptop with vista on it from Currys it was a Acer laptop, my college had windows XP, I took the laptop into college and even the teachers were like dam Ur the only one with vista as everyone has xp devices and the teachers were playing with my laptop hahaha
My first laptop come with windows vista and I use it for 5 years. I love windows vista, it has it's own charm.
Very cool to see Vista getting utilized in the modern age of Windows. Despite Vista's negative reputation, I actually loved it's organic look, realistic icons and 3D interface especially Aero. As long as you run it on decent hardware, it's quite a good experience.
Actually now we got to the point where chromium 88 launches on Vista. Unbelievable! Fall guys for example or rocket league is also working. I love it!
Chromium *69* nOiC3 69696969696969
And I love the Start Orb. It's just So O R G A S M I C

And Windows 7 is like the refined version
I forgot to mention: you need to be FULLY UPDATED to do this. There will be a lot of glitches if you don't. Also, I hit 1k subscribers recently (thx). I'm doing a 1k Q&A. If you want to submit your questions, go to my very first RUclips post. Thanks again for watching!
3 likes only? Damn, that's crazy
I am so glad to see that people are finding ways to keep the older operating systems alive. When Windows 7 will lose all support, I hope people will put as much care into keeping it alive.
Windows 8 is next
plush alexander I don’t give damn about Windows 8 or 10. The flat UI is so ugly it hurts.
@@observer1060 i kind of agree.
i used a 2011 HP pavilion p7 1012 for 4 or 5 years. it broke down 2 years ago. it ran windows 7 Home PM
@@Viridisite That's cool man. I found that the best laptops for Win7 are the Lenovo Thinkpads and maybe even the Sony Vaios. But I am glad to hear that you used it for at least that long. Any plans to switch back? Repair the old laptop or get a another Win7 one?
Oh damn! This needs WAY MORE views!
I've shared this to my friends as this should be known.

Yes
yup
The future is so bright, what this means is that eventually when software stops supporting Windows 7 something similar to this can happen to it and allow you to run all the newest versions as if nothing happened, what a timeline!
it might end after windows 8.1 stops support, because it had nt 6.3
@GoTi4No windows 10 used newer of NT kernel through, so it's might caused a problem but however, Microsoft atleast backported DirectX 12 to 7 in 2019 update.
Also aswell the KB2999226 update was created so user can run some Windows 10 apps (as long it's not UWP or has a different coding way).
Sadly, after programs stop supporting windows 7, they will probably drop windows 8.1 as well, leaving them maybe to be compatible with windows 10 or 11 in the future
"I decided to run Chromium version 69" nice number
Wayyyyyyyy
wise choice

@@Radu_NG discord app is actually an app
RaduNG nope it’s not for a gamer i use it
0:33 Something a lot of people don't seem to know, Windows 10 in the DOS Prompt (Yes, It still runs) identifies itself as NT 6.2. NT 10.0 is just the marketed NT version. Internal, It's still NT 6 and they are pretending 8.1 just never happened

But really, just imagine having that one friend that has a Windows Vista/7 computer in 2024, and is running the latest programs on Vista/7 xddd
10+? yea nt 10 might be the last nt version of windows but who knows lol
@@justj7304 Well, mind you that Windows 10 gets constant updates, a lot different than what it was in 2015, so it's more likely the NT kernel changes throughout the updates, so most likely 10 isn't the last NT version of Windows (hopefully not)

A lot of people say I should give up on this old operating system but I say no it's so cool and beautiful isn't it everyone
pretty much
Windows Vista was gorgeous
13:41 Congratulations, you played yourself.
Hahaha
Yeah
😂
That was so funny bruh
Woah! I’m Gonna try this on Windows 7!
That's an amazing idea!!
These already work on windows 7. I have them all
@@pikei6095 what about the win8 apps
Tairex777 you can run these by doqnloading from your browser!most of the downloadable software supports win 7/8/10
Most of the apps and games still supported Windows 7 though
I always loved windows vista. The most time, it was fast and stable.
Exactly
Only if you have the correct hardware
@@washim-7867 I mean that's not super hard, with a span of time between 2005 and 2014 or so.
@@lepidotos it's also possible today too , if the drivers support vista
@@washim-7867 there's the rub, hardware *isn't* supporting it. Ivy Bridge was the last Intel generation to support Vista, and while Ryzen does support it, that's only been tested up to Summit Ridge. On the video card side, your options are a GTX 980 or an RX 300. Both are still unobtainium to me so I'm not scoffing at it, but the point is that there's a finite and shrinking pool of compatible parts. I say this as a Vista user myself, its days running on bare metal are unfortunately numbered. Maybe someone will make a ReactOS fork that turns it into Vista, which should actually be possible given that the source code for ROS is publicly available.
Windows 10's internal NT version used to be 6.4, but they changed it for the reasons you mentiont.
Always liked Vista. I still even use it today.
Finally! A reason to stay with Windows Vista
Have to say Windows Vista is gorgeous...
Vista was my favorite os. I had optimized vlite version of it on my tablet pc but at some time it stopped being supported. Thanks for the video. I will reinstall vista there and try it out.
i like vista
@@molotovcockvore "windows vista can’t even play solitaire"
Wait the more this gets better the more we can use older os this is sick
6:41 is when I had gone to the bathroom to throw up from popeyes chicken
You feeling better now?
why are you telling us this

Anyone else break their actual Windows Vista installation on their old computer trying to do this? *chuckles nervously*
Thanks for this! Now I can run Chrome instead of an old version of firefox!
Now that I have tried it, now vista won't boot with the patched files copied. What do I do?
@@fionnmcgovern545 upgrade to windows 10 or use another os or repair the missing files with a setup disc
@@thefrogge I tried to run the vista or 7 setup disk, but nothing worked. Maybe I did something wrong? But now I know I need to create a snapshot beforehand

I love your videos mainly because i´m interested about pc software even though you upload only about 1-2 videos per month. Continue with making videos.
love your channel just got introduced in it in the first video I saw it then subbed btw it was the speed test of the versions of windows
when i first found you i thought you had 100k or even 1m subs, i looked, felt sad and subbed.
Now we need this for Windows XP 😁
And windows 1.0
@@goobersshenanigans do you even know what windows 1 look like?! 🤦♀️
@@goobersshenanigans That is impossible. Windows 1.0 wasn't exactly an "operating system"; it was just a DOS application that could run programs made for it.
I loved doing the same things for a website by updating files through the Git Bash application.
Also, poor Vista. It had such a bad reputation but was not bad in the end.
Imagine doing this on DOS based systems or even Windows XP or W2K.
this video actually made me go on eBay and buy a Toahiba Sattelite A125 With Windows Vista on it, I am gonna try to use it as my main laptop because it will support all the apps with this!
Wow, bruh in future imagine if we can ACTUALLY run Windows 10 applications on XP/Vista...
yeah, can't wait
Running microsoft flight simulator 2020 on XP 😂
OR VISTA
Windows XP with One Core API can run latest chrome now

You know what's more impressive? In 2020 I installed a somewhat modern version of Opera on Windows XP and it allowed me to perfectly access modern websites like RUclips on Windows XP in 2020. Windows XP is way better than Windows Vista in my opinion.
@@iamethanmiller I was able to get RUclips running on a Windows 2000 Compaq EVO using the Windows 2000 Extended Kernel and running MyPal on it, make sure everything is updated obviously. There’s more accurate instructions somewhere on Google, I can’t remember where I got it from
Fun fact: windows 7 can still run the latest version of chrome, minecraft, and steam
it's a still-modern os so no surprises
That's because developers know that it's gonna be used for a few years after EOL. Makes sense why Chrome 100 can run on WIndows 7.
It feels like yesterday, until you realize that its now almost 20 years old
In 5:56 you can simply press Shift+F10 to go to command prompt without going to system recovery
Windows Vista never dies !!
8:27 That also happens in XP
He showed how to fix it
It did happen on older version of XP when the Update Root cert is disabled in control panel, user needs to be enable it on control panel and then install the certificate file from kaspersky, after that it's work. This issues may not happen on some updated Windows XP iso
minecraft cant run on your os lol 🤣

This is so cool because Windows Vista it's my favourite version of Windows so far!
Great XP is the Windows for ever
Now working on my Vista extended kernel 2023: Chrome 109, Chromium 109, Opera 95, Edge 104, Firefox 115.4 esr, mozila Thunderbird 115, Superium 118, Brave 109.1.47, visual c++2022, similar app versions from win 7.
That’s brilliant! I’d love to run vista on an old pc
Fun fact: You can delete the recycle bin on vista 😂
Oh my God... Chromium and Firefox look SO much better on Vista than on 10
if you dont want to update the root certificate, you can just click advanced and then proceed. YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY TIME YOU VIEW A SSL SITE DO THE ROOT UPDATE OR SUFFER
I miss Windows Vista...
People hated windows vista but now they're trying to bring it back to life with this hmmmm
Wow, that’s really cool!
This is actually pretty useful for me
At present, I still think that vista design is more modern than 8/8.1/10 although the latter 3 windows adopted a so called "modern" design.
Yeah, why the f did every single modern UI designer think it's a good idea to go from beautiful, shiny, pretty and detailed (A. K. A actual art) to flat and boring (A. K. A. something that any moron could come up with).
@@cannedbeverage7687 A. K. A. 47
@@cannedbeverage7687 No one complained about Windows 95. Now people are complaining about today's design. WIndows, 1.0-98 had the most basic design that some 3 year old could probably make it by accident.
@@hmwndp The difference is that hardware back then was less powerful, so obviously they would've went for simple designs, things like Aero were not possible with 90s consumer hardware. Nowadays most hardware can support beautiful fancy effects, but they choose to make "simple" effects, which are super bloated anyway, so why not go all out and make it all shiny and detailed?
The "Wow" Still Exist Until Today

Vista was actually my favorite OS
I don't know if you're going to even see this, but this has a newer extended kernel, with an installer that doesn't require rebooting into an install disk.
forum.eclipse.cx/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=6
Some changes are that Firefox and other applications with a system version of 6.1 or higher no longer need any modification (Though, you need to replace ntdll in the import directory with ntext), Chromium 81 and likely newer run, latest Opera should work, there is more x86 application compatibility, VLC 4.0 runs (Though any sane person would use 2.2.x/3.x instead), and just other application compatibility improvements.
Also, for gaming, you might want to install KB4474419 before installing the extended kernel, because Easy Anti Cheat, for whatever reason, needs SHA-2, and KB4474419 is the update that adds SHA-2. As Vista wasn't supported when thee update came out, you'll need to get the update for Server 2008 (Not 2008 R2), a download link for it is below.

@Jie Andaya are you russophobic?
@Jie Andaya The site is actually very popular and has reputation in Russia, it's anything but "shady" around here, but if you don't wanna go there, it's your choice
It's really a shame that some community members couldn't believe this and thinking this is just a reskinned Windows 7.
Well, on the other side, ditching OS support with bad reputation really saves large amount of $$$ and labors, and max out their new product revenue. Sadly this is the reality in software industry.
Make this for Windows XP
hey by the way, does the Vista Extended Kernel run on 64-bit only or I can run it on my WIndows Vista 32-bit LAPTOP.
Do this on a windows xp
And extend it into Windows 2000 with its Extended Kernel
Vista is beautiful.
Hopefully they'll do that for Windows XP soon!
You can just drag and drop the files in system32 while in recovery option.
1. Open windows vista installation
2. Click repair your computer
3. Click load drivers and ok
4. Navigate to system32 and find the dll files you want to replace (Warning:Be Careful while removing dll. If you do incorrectly then os will not boot)
5. Delete those files (You can't replace them in recovery)
6. Copy the new dlls and paste it there. Done!
No Need to use cmd.

why doesn't roblox work even after installing all the extended kernel? this is the error msg i get " the procedures entry point K32Enumprocesses could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll?
Idk much about programming stuff, but trigrZolt mentioned It's still in development. They maybe fix that in future. Try to report it to the original dll patcher.
its not complete yet so yeah, Roblox dropped support back then and XP and Vista user cannot play it, but they can actually fix it until the next update broke the XP and Vista compatibility that makes it unplayable.
I legit used to do this 'cause I had a laptop with Vista
Tried on Vista Business 64 bit and it just blue screens when its going to load the logon screen
We gotta make sure whether expanded Vista is able to run Discord or not.
Only web discord
It will run Discord cuz its use electron (WhatsApp did use Electron so yeah), but Discord is 32-bit so support is still early and Discord cannot run at the time being.
WhatsApp can run cuz its 64-bit.
This makes me wonder if companies dropping support for windows vista is not a hardware problem. I thought some of these applications required some weird windows api thing that isnt present in vista but it seems programs more or less run fine. So at the end of the day lack of support is nothing more than companies giving up and just saying vista is not compatible even though it is and could be, they choose not to. Kinda sad
Wow that is extremely cool. i have an ancient Toshiba with Vista. i kind of want to experiment just for fun.
This is the proove how also older Machines can run easy latest versions, and all this shitty non sense update politics sucks like today evrywere , VISTA , 7, and 8.1 are nice OS Win 10 sucks totaly duing the Forcing Uptadte all time
With the death of Windows 7 (and probably 8/8.1) soon, they need to make a version of this for those versions since most programs will probably discontinue support for them in the near future.
Wait, how can you run Firefox 52.0+ in vista? That must be modified 79.0 isn't it?
That is only possible because Windows Vista has almost the same codebase as 7.
