Installing C64 OS in VICE for Windows | The Whole Enchilada!
I take a snowy Sunday afternoon and install C64 OS (https://c64os.com/ and @c64os) on VICE for Windows using the "simplified" instructions found on:
https://c64os.com/c64os/usersguide/vi...
I had a wonderful group of folks in chat who helped me along the way and while I originally felt I wouldn't keep this livestream archived online; the livestream turns out to be a great guide and resource for anyone trying to install C64 OS in VICE for Windows. WARNING!!! The process took 2.5 hours of step-by-step instructions, followed by some real-time installation on virtual devices and even though VICE warp mode was handy, it didn't make things instantaneous. If you are looking for something in the background retro related, this might be for you. I've also dropped in time codes below so you can jump around.

About C64 OS:
C64 OS, a new operating system expansion for your Commodore 64 that gives it a whole new set of sophisticated tools with a powerful and unified user interface. C64 OS gives you a featureful File Manager, that lets you copy and move whole directory trees between any two places on any two devices. A tabbed interface lets you be in up to 4 places at the same time. The favorites, recents, path bar, and menu bar, access with a mouse or keyboard shortcuts lets you whizz around your C64's drives at record speed.
The App Launcher gives you multiple desktops, each of which you can customize with a different backdrop, hint color, and color coded aliases to C64 OS Apps, C64 OS Utililities and to original C64 games and programs.
C64 OS comes bundled with over 25 useful utilities that can be opened and used concurrently with a C64 OS application, including: A calculator, a calendar, a timer and stopwatch, a text viewer, a memory inspector and much more.
