[ReactOS](https://reactos.org/) is an open-source operating system meant to behave exactly like Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and later versions of Windows.
In theory, it can run any software and work with any drivers developped for early version of Windows. In practice, it is still under heavy-development and may not work as expected.
In theory, it can run any software and work with any drivers developed for these older versions of Windows. Decades old software or pieces of equipments that no longer ship with drivers to run with the latest iterations of the Windows operating system may work with ReactOS.
In practice, it is still under heavy-development and may not work as expected.
> **Phyllome OS support**
Support for the more modern PCI-Express-enabled Q35 chipset, UEFI or other virtio-devices, which Phyllome OS favors, is still lacking, Performance of the display won't be optimal, resulting in screen tearing. More information can be found [here](/virt/reactos).

## Installation
> ReactOS is currently in **Alpha stage** and does **not** work with most virtio-devices. Performance of the display interface will not be optimal.
> ReactOS is currently in **Alpha stage** and not production ready.

* Configure the system
### Download
* *Go fetch the latest build of the *Boot CD* version of ReactOS on the official website*: https://reactos.org/getbuilds/
