===About QWERTYXP2000 Series and History===
Qwertyxp2000 had started YouTube on November 25, 2013, with a video showcasing You are an Idiot link not spawning a virus on his old personal (but still under parental ownership) Windows XP computer on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Firefox. He created his channel and dedicated his name as "Qwertyxp2000" after watching The Microsoft Windows history - with startup and shutdown sounds (1985 - 2012), after peaking interest in exploring all possible Windows operating system sounds. Initially, he tried "Qwertyxp", but the name was already taken on YouTube. However, his YouTube account name still remains as "Ron Zhang", which in fact is his real name. Despite so, he would almost always mention "Qwertyxp2000" in most of his videos he makes, with exception of live-action videos and a few of his earliest videos.
By the first few months of 2014, Qwertyxp2000 had ~11 Subs, most of which come from people who he met in real life. Most of his channel during his earlier years in 2013 and 2014 had been composed of a mix between his technology videos, random personal life videos, random animations including a video from testing animations made in a mix of Adobe Flash and iMovie (though most of the animations he made were Microsoft PowerPoint animations made on a Windows computer), and a bit of other stuff. Later on, he would explore the game My Singing Monsters in 2015 onwards. Although his video uploading slowed down in 2015, he made one video on iMovie, albeit slightly corrupted, about a list of known Windows 98 Plus! and Windows XP Plus! sounds he has collected. Along the way in 2016, he made a few animations on iMovie + PowerPoint, starting with the SpongeBob MacPants series.
His production of animation videos had slowed down towards late in 2017 and since early 2018. However, in April 2018, having become fascinated with Steamed Hams, he wanted to make a character who would pair with Windows Vista. When he did his earlier SpongeBob MacPants videos with Windows Vista, his voice was quite nasal to imitate Squidward's voice. He figured Superintendent Chalmers would have a kind of nasal talk too. Windows XP was paired instead, for purposes of character type compatibility. And because he didn't feel like using his microphone, he began working on Steamed Hams But Windows XP and Windows Vista since June 7, 2018. He began a little slowly, but after showing a teaser video to his friends on around mid-late June when he had around ~450 subs, his friends quickly brought the subscribers level to just over 500. And on June 26, 2018, Qwertyxp2000 quickly went to fully finish off the half-completed video and upload the video on June 26, 2018, while his mother and his little brother were both driving to a parent-teacher interview meeting.
On June 26, 2018, he published Steamed Hams But Windows XP and Windows Vista to YouTube. Initially during the first few days of premiere, his video didn't gain more than 500 views, an expected event seeing that he only had ~500 Subs during the time, and just under 500 Subs several days before publishing the video. However, on November 2019, his video skyrocketed to ~50,000 views. As a result, he decided to make more iMovie + PowerPoint animations since November 2019. The reason for the video sky rocketing was due to a group of Hamilton Boys' High Students consistsntly watching the video during interval, significantly increasing the number of views. Likewise, November 2019's rise in number of views was due to the YouTube algorithm favoring this one video.
Knowing that he was gaining huge popularity for that video, he published "Obi-Wan and Anakin but it's Windows XP and Apple" to YouTube on December 16, 2019. Although somewhat rushed, he finally assured that his one Windows XP Animation was not just a one-off video. He began updating his channel's outro by including sped-up clips from his "Steamed Hams But Windows XP and Windows Vista" video, alongside Obi-Windows XP turning on his lightsabre into fighting position.
Later on in 2019, he was creating a bunch of new animations. It is the start of some of his traditional videos. Several videos have been experimenting with some new video styles that later catch on towards later videos. Some of his more traditional gaming videos back in 2016-2018 have also been uploaded during this period.
In 2020, Ron Zhang had a hiatus on YouTube in January due to focusing on a certain gaming project on C#. The first animation of that year was "Apple destroys computer". Some users were complaining on the lack of animations, not realizing that sometimes he uploads alternate content too and not just animations.
Qwertyxp2000 had began doing some PowerPoint animations earlier, since 2014, and had also been shared his creativity with his whole family during those times too.
