I remember installing Windows XP. sigh.
I had one of the 23 machines in the world that ran Windows ME flawlessly. :(
Hey now, mine ran it flawlessly after three days of tinkering and then rebooting twice a day afterwards.
I was lucky if everything worked. Usually it had troubles with peripherals, network, or even the USB drive it was on. But none (?) of this crap.
fair. i used Windows 2000 a crapton, and I think 2000 was the king of true Plug N Play. that bitch would take ANYTHING. hell, even these days I'll stick modern Kingston USB 3.0 drives into it, just to see if it works, and it won't even bat an eye 🤣
