I've had my fair share too and generally don't miss it. Not using Windows at all usually 😄 The installing drivers marathon on XP is crazy (I only did audio and video and that took repeated attempts) Not missing it honestly. But also feels good to know I still can haha. And have some games running t

What games exactly?

Dungeon Keeper 2 for example. Or Nox. Or the Warlords Battlecry series (unknown RTS that nobody cares about but one can play dark elves and I love it 😅)

Got to clean the backlog 😄 Now I have to remember how to activate those Windows copies though... I remember there was phone activation and a keygen... Oh goddess

I need to Google how it worked... I had to enter a serial during installation but now it still says I have to activate within 30 days. Both Win XP and 7. I remember that was a thing but that's all
