Microsoft windows 3.11

January 21st, 2020

I found a box with 12 floppy disks in it, there are 3 disks for ms dos 6.22, 1 for a mouse driver and only 8 for windows 3.11.
My question is, are 8 floppies enough to install windows 3.11??

Answer #1
Yes..Widows 3.1 is not that big..
But out of curiosity..Why would you want to install a text only Windows?
Answer #2

And look at the magnificent GUI !
Full of square boxes…Just like Windoze 8 really nearly..

Might try it in a virtual PC setup..
Had it in my first PC, but didn’t use it very often..
It takes up too much memory when you only have 2MB to play with
