OK. Thank You. (Sad the poll is not to see itself still, just for the impression.) I am thinking of am overview all Linux versions, with some columns important things/points, with also still later possible to add points. (For example: For beginners, for kids, which are still in progress, and...

(quote from the first post: ) "that you can't see the poll results unless you have also voted.": Sorry, I cannot see this poll ... What is the intention - the idea behind (for) - of this poll ?

Great idea. Also with woth to mention here the Linux-versions for kids ? (For schools ´perhaps´ from interesst. Internet - and OSs for computers - infrastructure from Linux, I think, are more fitable - and more appropriate - for kids, and schools. (Examples, if OK here already with: Linux for...

Could find (quote) "For the bootloader, the easiest way is to pop the disk into the new machine, boot your distribution's live CD/USB and use its bootloader reparation tool", which perhaps also is able to do something as a repair installation, just an idea...

The only EASY way currently to me is the following: a live Linux-version - as the CD/DVD version or as on stick (usuallly to FAT32) - to on HD. This so on hard-drive - not to forget: on FAT32 (where so; as on stick) - this drive is to use as a stick or the CD/DVD, to any hardware also. (But as...

This sounds of as doable, if known how to handle this. I do not see this for me. The following idea I could imagine for me, where the focus stays to keep the (some personly) settings, (the) from external installed programs, and - as further example - the saved favourites in browsers, after...

My trouble to create a new thread to this question is, I only have the XP example to explain, what I mean. This is not possible to put in into an easy short title. Currently it appears to me as if I have to install different Linux-versions, put it to an other PC (mainboard) or an other LapTop...

No. But thanks. But I do not need to know all backgrounds of EFI, UEFI, and BIOS already only called before, as I just could read in Wikipedia. This is very much only confusing and not helping have it easy understandable.

I do not who knows it from XP, or from an other Win-version, with the ´...7b´ Blue-Screen´ error at boot, which is not a problem from the there needed chipset drivers, as mostly presented so. It is from a setting in BIOS, whether setted to SATA or IDE or both or - something as - compatible...

Wouh, I did already fear this. Not EFI possible anymore there ? Not the MBR partitions ? Only GPT partitions ? But FAT32 still possible ? Sorry, just for clearness ? (Do not know - remind - this just right now.) And before is only EFI, without mentioned at all in BIOS, because there is not to...

Just to mention this still, please: The most CPUs since about 2004 are 64 Bit. (Which works also with for 32 Bit systems.) ´EFI´ - in opposite to UEFI - IS ´legacy BIOS´. (Through that both settings - if available (UEFI) at all - needs to be done in the BIOS, there is no non-BIOS UEFI, despite...

Hm. Thanks. Not so elegant ..., sorry. All in all - to may stay easy -, as I know from XP - just at boot, or fast short after - the ´new´ hardware automatically is recognized and being installed. (Some BIOS settings, as EFI (as only standard BEFORE UEFI) or UEFI, or/and the drives (IDE, SATA...

I think, I mean something else: let me try to begin to explain from my XP experiences. Installing installs the ´only´ needed drivers, chipset and so on. Graphics, sound: if only possible, a standard driver, which makes graphic and sound work, but not in its full capacities, therefor the...

This - so far - is clear. When for this feature - where the life versions do this just with, having the most posible needed drivers with, at least a standard driver - exists a - or some - Linux version(s), which save(s) those drivers already with, at installation, and with changing the...

Please, sorry, what do You mean ? What now is still not finish in Your eyes ? Or is it now ? Thank You. (I will add a note to my start-post here, to, that Linux Mint Mate has an install-manager, which does not require these from me thought needed manual preparing partitions.) I did read these...

OK. Thanks. But then I really wonder, that archive.org can offer that download (64 Bit Corporate with key).

Currently VM - even VirtualBox, the most easy VM I understand until now - to me is just a challenge. (But this Search does let find already some things this topic https://www.linux.org/search/2442656/?q=virtualbox&c[title_only]=1&o=date) (Linux Mint Mate 21.3, there in VM Knoppix 9.3, in one...

If anybody is interessted in a reliable download for XP Prof. Corporate 64 Bit (with key), I can share a link here. If OK for the Forum here.

Thank You. Good to know VB 6 works. USB controller will have to be setted to 2.0, when the USB-port is 2.0. Even when the drives are 3.0 able. Even USB-port - I speak here from: not in VM; maybe there different - 1.0 with USB-drives 2.0 and 3.0 have a good acceptable speed. The Guest...

Not too bad: I understood, an usual XP install did not work, from the hardware. But did not say anything about the troubles. OK. And, that Linux 64 Bit VM for XP 32 Bit needs in addition some 32 Bit codecs therefor, I would not have expected. This is new to me. So, thank You.
