Fresh visual design
Windows 9x is the platform windows 2000 and xp run on, not a separate OS.
9X uses the MS-DOS kernel.
Windows NT is a kernel.
in windows 2000/xp and windows 9x
Incremental: Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP Differential: Windows 98/NT/2000/XP
Windows 9x/ME = fdisk /mbr Windows 2000/XP = Fixmbr
Windows NT/2000/XP and 9x/Me
Windows NT/2000 Regedit.exe and Regedt32.exe have two different functions. Windows XP has only one single registry editor.
If you are installing windows XP with Windows 9x or me than the I would recommend you to use FAT32 as if you use NTFS than you wont be able to access Windows XP with NTFS partition. If you are installing Windows XP with Windows NT or Windows 2000 than you can use any partition type. But I would recommend to use NTFS.
No. Windows 2000 is older than Windows XP, and thus it is not an upgrade.
Windows 95 and 98 is based on the Windows 4.x Kernel. Windows 2000 and XP is baed on the NT Kernel. XP sports a different GUI compared to 95982000, this is the main difference between windows 2000/98 and XP.
Ping is a useful TCP/IP utility to check network connectivity. Two other useful troubleshooting tools are Ipconfig (Windows 200/XP) and Winipcfg (Windows 9x/ME), which test TCP/IP configuration.
Sorry only for Windows 2000 / XP /Windows Vista /Windows 7
Windows 2000 applications and settings are kept and Windows XP upgrade is quicker than a fresh new installation of XP.
Windows NT is what Windows 2000 is upgraded from.
