Installation requires 6 floppy disks The first version of Windows is 25 years old

In the past two days, Windows 10 users have been busy upgrading the latest "Creators Update". The new system not only brings a more comfortable UI, but also launches a "Game Mode" specially prepared for players. It can be said that Windows is becoming more and more mature and perfect.

So, what did the initial version of Windows look like?

Today is the 25th birthday of Windows 3.1. This operating system, which was launched in 1992, can be said to be the most representative product in the history of Windows. Although its UI and functions are very monotonous, it laid the tone for the development of subsequent generations of Windows systems.

It is reported that as the predecessor of the classic Windows 95 system, Windows 3.1 did not provide a start menu or taskbar, and the system also had only a handful of built-in application software, such as IE 2 browser.

However, Windows 3.1 is the first Microsoft operating system that needs to be installed using a CD-ROM. In addition, in order to take care of users of old platforms, Windows 3.1 also provides a floppy disk installation method, and the entire system installation files are divided and stored on six floppy disks.
