Triple Booting Windows 98, XP, and Windows 11 on a Single NVMe SSD – Real Hardware!

Описание: In this video, I’ll show you how to set up a triple-boot configuration featuring Windows 98, Windows XP SP3, and Windows 11—all running from the same NVMe SSD on real hardware, with no emulation! Yes, these three vastly different operating systems can coexist smoothly on an Intel 13th Gen system. You’ll see how I configured partitions, selected compatible hardware, and customized the NTLDR and Boot MGR bootloaders to seamlessly switch between OS options.

This setup includes a classic NVIDIA GeForce 7900GS GPU from 2006, which, incredibly, has functional drivers for Windows 98, XP, and even Windows 11 64-bit! I'll walk you through creating the bootable partitions, dealing with compatibility challenges, and installing drivers for both vintage and modern hardware. Whether you’re a retro computing enthusiast or just curious about mixing legacy OS with the latest Windows, this guide will equip you with everything you need to try it yourself.
