There could be 2 reasons why this didn't work: 1. It is possible that you would need to upgrade from Windows 2000 to XP before upgrading to Neptune, as it was looking for a winnt folder instead of a Windows folder. 2. The upgrade probably doesn't work on Windows XP Home Edition to Microsoft Neptune, because Microsoft Neptune is based on Windows 2000 Professional, and for it to be upgraded you might need Windows XP Professional as opposed to XP Home.

Me: Sees title of video Also me: Sees video length Well I guess that answers that question
-
The thought of "upgrading" to a beta version of an OS is kinda hilarious to me. A very interesting experiment!
-
At 4:21 Neptune installer said it will do a clean install, so I am predicting that all the theme customization will be naught and all the icons will be gone because it will do a fresh install. Edit: Yup.

My brain right now: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
-
Fun fact: if you already have Neptune installed, you can also upgrade to... Neptune. Yeah I don't get it either
-
Really enjoy tech experiments! Keep 'em coming Michael!
-
What you forgot about: The windows folder does not contain any personal data or settings nor registry hives. Since it was just removing the Windows folder (other than formatting the hard drive) it may keep all your data.
-
after this upgrade to windows vista because technically vista can upgrade from xp which is 5.1, so it should upgrade from Neptune which is 5.5
-
I swear, if Windows Neptune WAS released, I think it will have King Neptune as the user guide.
-
You should try multi-booting as many versions of Windows as you can on one PC. (If you like this suggestion, you can pick any PC you want do do this on!)
-
Watching this while installing Windows XP!
-
Your videos are the only videos longer than 10 minutes that are actually enjoyable.
-
It makes me wonder: What'd happen if you try to 'upgrade' Windows XP with a WINNT Windows folder instead of a WINDOWS Windows folder to Neptune?
-
You really need a compact flash or SD2IDE solution in the $5 Windows PC®️. That would allow you to easily swap between OSes and load files from your modem PC on them.
-
This is a really interesting video, good job! keep ‘em comin!
-
try running tweakNT after installing neptune to remove the timebomb.
-
Great vid! You're my favorite YouTuber!!!
-
You should try to install that Neptune to WINNT folder, then boot to any windows installer CD (to access command prompt) and move everything from WINNT to WINDOWS through cmd
-
Got kind of funny when I realized that your wall and desk are the same as mine... Nice video!
