My computer says Windows XP on the start screen, but I went to this website recently that tracks your IP and everything and it said I have Windows NT 5.1 . Some of the system files say NT as well. I am using the copy of Windows that came with my computer, which was purchased from hp around 2005 or 2006. I say they are 2 different OS and my brother says they are the same. I know for a fact my Sims Unleashed will not work on NT(It worked on my old computer that had 98 and it says it's XP compatible) and I am thinking maybe that is why it won't install on my computer, because we have NT.(The Sims 1 works fine) Who's right?

ntfs = new technology file system,
xp = WinNT 5.01.2600 - which is built on windows 2000 = WinNT 5.00.2195
both systems use the nt file system, the older systems use fat32 (file allocation table), 95/98/98se and millenium

I believe that Windows XP and Windows 2000 are actually Windows NT 5 +. They've changed the name to protect the innocent.

Windows NT is the original core for Windows 2000, and XP were built on top of that. hence the 'NT' bit always crop up.

Sorry my pal, abode windows ninety 8 grow to be born interior the final century and no person different than grandma makes use of it to any extent further because it quite is different from minded with todays 32/sixty 4 bit application and that's not debugged for the Millenium the two. besides a 10Gb annoyingpersistent is approximately as useful as a moist paper bag. at present's laptops comprise 100Gb drives and computers with around 250Gb or greater so i don't understand everybody who could prefer to purchase different than maybe a museum for posterity. once you awaken, according to possibility you are able to reassess your organization plan
