========================================================================
Thank you for downloading Windows XP Simulator.
Windows XP Simulator is a software project designed to simulate the visual appearance and selected user interface behaviors commonly associated with Microsoft® Windows® XP. This software is provided for educational, demonstration, and evaluation purposes only.
IMPORTANT: This software is NOT an operating system. It does not install, replace, modify, or interact with any version of Microsoft Windows.
Although this software may visually resemble Microsoft Windows XP, it does NOT execute, load, or support Microsoft Windows applications.
Specifically:
- No Win32, .EXE, or MSI applications can be runned
- Some Windows system APIs are implemented, but not fully
- No application compatibility layer is provided
- No virtualization or emulation technology is used
All programs, windows, and behaviors presented by this software are simulated solely for demonstration purposes.
This software is intended for:
- User interface demonstrations
- Educational or evaluation use
- Historical or nostalgic reference
This software is not intended for production environments or commercial deployment.
Minimum System Requirements:
- IBM-compatible personal computer
- Web browser with JavaScript enabled
- Mouse or compatible pointing device
- Display resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels or higher
No installation of Microsoft Windows XP or additional Microsoft components is required.
Windows XP Simulator includes the following simulated features:
- Windows XP–style desktop environment
- Simulated Start menu and taskbar
- Windowed user interface framework
- Desktop icons and basic user interaction
- Visual elements inspired by the Windows XP user experience
All functionality operates entirely within a user-level environment.
To run Windows XP Simulator:
- Copy or extract all files to a local directory.
- Locate the file named "index.html".
- Double-click the file to launch the simulator.
No setup, installation, or configuration is required.
Windows XP Simulator does NOT:
- Function as a complete operating system
- Run Microsoft Windows applications
- Provide hardware, registry, or kernel-level access
- Supply networking, security, or system services
- Restricts to IE 6, not 7 and 8 (WHICH I HATE THE MOST)
Actual behavior may differ significantly from a genuine Windows XP installation.

If you are using a phone like iOS or Android (Android 14+ recommended for better graphics), please follow these limits.
- If you are using the iPhone 14 or higher (iOS 16-26), TLS 1.2 is fast and secure, and Quenq required modern TLS anyway starting the release from 2024.
- If you are using between the iPhone XS to the iPhone 13 (iOS 12-26), this still has TLS 1.2, which is what our simulator, and Quenq needed it for no slowness even it is just a mockup.
- If you are using between the iPhone 7 Plus to the iPhone X (iOS 10-16), this somehow has TLS 1.1 or maybe TLS 1.2. Quenq will run, but some features like Internet Explorer sometimes show a unsupported message when searching the web browser and web results sometime crash.
- If you have the iPhone 7 or older (iOS 1-10), the browser has TLS 1.1 which is now gonna be unsupported, or TLS 1.0. They even had SSL which is unsupported from the 2010s.
- If you have the Samsung Galaxy S10 or higher (One UI 2-8.5), TLS 1.2 and 1.3 is secure for the Quenq website.
- If you have between Samsung Galaxy S8 to the Galaxy S9, it has TLS 1.1 and 1.2, sometimes secure but 1.1 is deceased in 2018 and unsupported.
- If you have the Note 7, FORGET ABOUT THAT IT IS A FIRE HAZARD! Do not use it for web browsing or charging.
- If you have the Samsung Galaxy Note FE to the Galaxy S5, it has TLS 1.1 or maybe 1.2, same thing.
- If you have the Galaxy Note 4 to the Galaxy S1, it is unsuppored to be 32-bit, and TLS 1.1 or 1.0.
Do not use the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 for normal use or charging. According to BBC, Samsung's probe into its Galaxy Note 7 fiasco has found that the overheating and burning of the phones was caused by faults with their batteries. Battery leaks cause by being too big and this is why we should forget the Note 7 forever, that causes multiple fire explosions and was recalled. DO not use it for our Quenq simulator or sometime it might explode. Even though it is just a Galaxy Note, it is considered a hazard and you should use a safer Note 7 like the Fan Edition.
