Get old Windows 2000 working on your new Windows 10

Microsoft's love of old operating systems is catching on. This has made more and more users return to old video games, old programs and old versions of operating systems such as Windows 95 or Windows 98.

The next Microsoft operating system that we can have our latest computer model is Windows 2000. Windows 2000 was a version of Windows that improved significantly compared to Windows 98 but was neither as fast nor as stable with Windows XP (within what Windows XP really was).

Developer Fabrice Bellard, creator of the QEMU emulator, has been working on bringing old versions of Microsoft's operating systems to any machine and platform, without the need for any Windows operating system or program. In this case, Bellard has been able to run a version of Windows 2000 from the web browser, for which we only need Javascript technology. A version that we can run through this link. This technology resides in almost all web browsers, which means that we can run Windows 2000 in both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, even in the minimum version of Internet Explorer that some of you will surely have.

In addition to access to this kind of virtual machine, users we can upload files through the web browser, appearing on the desktop of our Windows 2000. We can even use the paste functions, using a paste button that will send the text to Windows 2000.

The operation of Windows 2000 through the web browser is the same as the real version, with the same slow performance and the same bugs. An unorthodox version for a real production machine but quite useful for running older programs using the Windows 10 web browser in the background. Although personally I have always preferred Windows Millenium, so I have to wait.
