This is going to be a large detailed thread on ALL major windows releases. Since I have a rather slow internet connection, it is going to take a while to get all of them up here. My Goal is one OS a day. However, some days I am busier than others so it may take a while longer than expected. The order is: 1.0, 3.1, 95, 98, 2K, ME, Neptune, XP, Longhorn, Vista, 7. After all of these are uploaded I plan on going onto versions such as Vortex XP, Tablet XP, Tiny XP, Vista Black Edition, Tiny Vista, and Gamers Vista.(Editing Coming Soon)

Windows 1.0:




Windows 1.0 is a 16-bit graphical operating environment that was released on 20 November 1985.[1] It was Microsoft’s first attempt to implement a multi-tasking graphical user interface-based operating environment on the PC platform. Windows 1.0 was the very first version of Windows launched. It was made in a pathetic attempt to catch up to Mac’s release of the first Icon based OS. It Still operated mostly through DOS commands but added a visual theme to it. To boot into 1.0, the user would turn on the computer which would start MS DOS, then they would run the boot.exe and begin the boot sequence, though now it is very well hidden under the thick interface Windows has, this same process is still used everytime you turn on your computer. Most modern computer cannot run Windows 1.0 because of its primitive color system and programming.

Windows 3.1:




Windows 3.1x is a series of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers. The series began with Windows 3.1, which was vended first during March 1992 as a successor to Windows 3.0. Further editions were released between 1992 and 1994 until the series was superseded by Windows 95. 3.1 was a mjor improvement from the less than ready 1.0 that was used by very few. Windows 3.1 was made using a completely new kernel but was still to primitive to have a start button to organize programs. It did however introduce the taskbar for storing windows and an improved theme.

Start off by making a partition on your HDD atleast 80MB with the FAT filesystem (I reccomend using Partition Magic 8). NOT FAT32 because Windows 3.1 doesn’t recognize that type.

Then boot the CD not from Windows but from your computer start up. Press F12 or Esc to choose Boot from CD-ROM or something similair.

Follow instructions and choose your new partition when it asks where you want to install Windows on. Installation should be pretty damn quick (took 47 secs to install on mine).

Then configure some stuff like resolution (don’t ask me how to do that) and printers if possible and other stuff. There’s tons of drivers and system files out there made specifically for Windows 3.1. Look on google and you’ll find USB drivers to DVD drive identifiers which actually let you write on DVD’s and CD’s.

Some of you are also going to download this and open the ISO and assume that this is a fake because there is not boot folder. Trust me that it’s there but hidden.

Windows 95:




Windows 95 is a consumer-oriented graphical user interface-based operating system. It was released on August 24, 1995 by Microsoft and was a significant progression from the company’s previous Windows products. During development it was referred to as Windows 4.0 or by the internal codename Windows Chicago. The first step towards today’s windows we use today, it was once again designed on a completely new kernel and allowed for major changes. The Jump from 3.1 to 95 is large and has many compatibility issues. 95 was the first to automatically boot and the first to have a start menu.



This is the original collection of the Windows 95 Installation Floppy Disks in IMA format; easily used with Virtual PC; or winimage if you wish to copy the files to actual floppies for installation on your vintage machines.

TO install; boot from the Install.IMA file, then follow the on screen instructions.

Windows 98:




Windows 98 (codenamed Memphis) is a graphical operating system released on 25 June 1998 by Microsoft and the successor to Windows 95. Like its predecessor, it is a hybrid 16-bit/32-bit monolithic product based on MS-DOS. Windows 98 was succeeded by Windows Me on 14 September 2000. Windows 98 was a continuation of Windows 95. It was built upon the same kernel as 95 but was loaded with tons of new features and a much more user friendly appeal.

Windows ME:




Windows Millennium Edition, or Windows Me (IPA pronunciation: [miː], [ɛm iː]), is a hybrid 16-bit/32-bit graphical operating system released on 14 September 2000 byMicrosoft.[2] It was originally codenamed Millennium. This version of Windows was the first version of windows made specifically to draw in home users. It featured Internet Explorer 5.5 and Windows Media Player, both new and special features to the windows field. Though it was attractive to home users it was greatly disliked by the previous users of Windows because it used a new and unique boot kernel and internal kernel. This wide spread dislike lead to the release of Windows 2000(AKA WIN2K).

Windows Neptune:




Windows Neptune was a beta version of Microsoft Windows that was in development from early 1999 to early 2000. The goal was to create a home user-friendly operating system from the same sources as the NT-based Windows 2000 that was developed for business users, replacing the older DOS-based Windows 9x home user operating systems. After the release of Windows 2000, the Neptune team was combined with the Windows 2000 team to work on Whistler, later released in the fourth quarter of 2001 asWindows XP,[1] and Microsoft released another home user DOS-based operating system called Windows Me. Important updates in Neptune were the first signs of a GUI login, such as in XP and later. Also, another large attempt at home use, a goal that was to have at least one windows computer per household, which was held off until XP.

Windows XP is a line of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, notebook computers, and media centers. The name "XP" is short for "experience".[3] Windows XP is the successor to both Windows 2000 Professional and Windows Me, and is the first consumer-oriented operating system produced by Microsoft to be built on the Windows NT kernel andarchitecture. Windows XP was first released on 25 October 2001, and over 400 million copies were in use in January 2006, according to an estimate in that month by an IDCanalyst.[4] It was succeeded by Windows Vista, which was released to volume license customers on 8 November 2006, and worldwide to the general public on 30 January 2007.
