Windows Experience Freestyle Update 2023-02

Windows 10 that looks like Windows XP.
This absolutely wild modification turns Windows 10 into a virtually indistinguishable Windows XP replica.

Windows Experience Freestyle Update is a modified Windows 10 installation with a very thick coat of 22-year-old paint. It carefully replicates the look and feel of Windows XP, which many consider the golden era of Microsoft's operating system. There is the old File Explorer, Task Manager, Control Panel, Start menu (still better than the one in Windows 11), and Internet Explorer (just a reskinned Mozilla Firefox). Even 3D Pinball and Paint are available.

Of course, those who have experienced using Windows XP will be able to spot the differences. Also, some notable limitations and issues will prevent you from using the mod as a primary operating system. For example, any DPI above 100% will break everything, not all buttons and links in File Explorer work, and some parts of the OS look like butchered Windows 10. Still, it is safe to say the modification is the closest modern Windows XP replica that none of the third-party apps can achieve.

This is not an official product from Microsoft, it will not get updates from Microsoft.
