Why is Windows XP so fucking lightning fast but Windows 10 is absolute garbage?

    Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson I find the opposite, I have an XP system that is slow as fuck, my Win10 system boots up in like 10 seconds with my SATAIII SSD in it.

    That's because your Windows registry is so bloated up with startup programs that the system can't function properly.

    win xp32 wont work with anything larger than 2tb natively.

    Want me to take a screenshot?
    It's not powered on though I'll do that later.
    The hard drive is literally a 6tb western digital red drive that came with my NAS.

    WHen I was installing it I created a new partition which was like 5.9tb and installed straight away

    Oh I just checked and only 1.45tb shows up.
    Ehhh I'll switch to one of my 2tb drives later then.

    crazy times we're living in where 6tb can be said without eyes falling out of heads.
    When I was running XP back in the day I only had a 50GB (that's GIGABYTE) hard drive ... that's a single blu-ray movie.

    The maximum partition size of NTFS depends on the smallest cluster size. NTFS maximum size = cluster size * (2^32 -1). By default, the cluster size is 4096 bytes, so its limit is 16TB. Therefore, to break 2TB file system limit, you can convert the disk to GPT disk and format it as NTFS.

    Yeah well used to have a 750mb hard drive.

    About the size of a CD.

    It ran everything you might need, like Wing Commander III.

    When I first started using computers, we had to use a 1MB 8-inch X ​5 1⁄4-inch floppy disk to hold the entire system, so when you'd pull the floppy out or rebooted the system, everything went POOF, and you had to reload everything again. Amiga. Commodore 64...

    Should I go all the way with simulating my early teens and partition one of my drives to only have 50gb of space?

    btw unironically people should go back to using simple HTML websites.
    It was perfect and there is no reason to ever abandon that format and here is why:

    You didn't have to be an expert artist to be able to prop up a website
    HTML is efficient and very low bandwidth so anybody can load the pages in an instant
    BB code forums are still the perfect format

    The internet circa 2005 is still objectively the greatest

    Then when I got the Radio Shack Tandy, it had a 5MB hard drive, and it was like heaven. But the only "desktop" I had was "Calculator", "Organizer", "Calendar", "File", "System" and "Document", nothing else. $4,999+ tax for the whole system.

    I still have a bunch of old server utilities, like Serv-U. Remember that one? You could setup an FTP server on your own box on any port, and then host any kind of files from it, including HTML. Host your own site right off your own computer, complete with user permissions.

    Then there was FlashFXP, where you could "side transfer" files from one site to the other without actually uploading or downloading from either. Pretty cool stuff back then, when users had actual control.

    Don't they still have that?
    I might try hosting a website personally ... I have a few ideas in mind the most grand one being an imageboard/textboard in the vein of old-school 4chan and a site called 4-ch (not to be confused with 4chan).
    I might prop up a classic 00s style phpbb forum idk

    I am so fucking PISSED that bemanistyle no longer hosts step files WTF

    also iichan is dead ;_;

    The internet I knew and loved has passed away

    Servers Ultimate on the Google play store lets you do all that with just a phone.

    I wish someone who isn't jewish would buy Myspace and revive that place.
    If I could build a profile again like the good old days with the music player on my page that would cheer me up.
