Can Windows 1.0 | 2.0 run on a modern PC 2024?

[@RamtechENG]

Have you ever installed Windows 1.0 or Windows 2.0?

[@el_dallasyt]

Yes

[@_lun4r_]

Finally And yes I tried and it worked provided it ran on MS-DOS 5.0 and had some SETVER entries in place

[@techguy16]

Yes - in a VM.

You can make a video upgrading from windows 1.0 to windows 10 or 11, but keeping all files as best as possible, and testing old version files as you upgrade. I love your content

[@JullyMohora]

This is impossible because Windows 11 is available only in 64bit version and you can not upgrade 32bit versions of Windows to 64bit ones. Windows 1.0 to Windows 10 X86 is hard, but possible by changing hardware partially. Also Windows XP X64 to Windows 11. But your combination no.

[@EuFariaVideos]

@@JullyMohora but i said that it could be up to windows 10 or windows 11, and you said that the combination up to windows 10 is possible but difficult which is what i said, even if it's up to windows 7 or 8, its already great. But until windows 10 i already Saw It done, but what i really wanted was the exploration of the files that remain.

Some advice: BIOS tends to emulate a _PS/2_ (Personal System/2 - the circular purple mouse port, which originated on said IBM computer model, in other words) mouse in the absence of OS access to USB. Also, Premiere Edition is _not_ the first release build of Windows 1.0 - that was a very common misconception until somewhat recently. Premiere Edition is a prototype which was hastily "finished" to be shown off to the press, but is actually very buggy and incomplete. Finally, Windows 1.0's DOS version check only passes on DOS 2.0, 3.0, and 3.10, and it runs checks on certain data structures just to make sure you're not jush spoofing the officially-reported version number. The internal betas would print detailed info about which test failed, if one did, on the startup screen. The garbled text you saw is what's left of that poorly-removed error message in Premiere Edition and the retail releases.

Makes me wonder why do modern mobos still have ps/2 ports

[@bororidley4769]

For windows 1.0 you need use MS DOS 5.0 and partition with fdisk and format the drive. The with MS-DOS 5.0 installed, have Setver.exe load up in config.sys. That should work.

[@Egg.Of.Glory999]

The reason why Windows 1.0 wouldn't start up properly was because you were using the Premiere edition, which uses a different file type, WIN100.MID, whereas the file that MS-DOS knows of is WIN100.BIN, not WIN100.MID. Try installing version 1.01, not the premiere edition, or if you STILL just NEED to use the Premiere edition, use "SETVER C:\DOS WIN100.MID 3.00," then reboot, go into the windows directory, and then start windows up as per usual. You might also want to put a PS/2 mouse driver into the installation disks, assuming they don't have that driver already. Be careful what you say on the internet, okay?

[@LuiggiRetroPC]

Exactly.

[@roymerkel8008]

~4:55 for BOTH 6.22 and freedos you may need to call setver to make windows think you are using an earlier DOS. I don't know if DOS 2.X is installable on that new of a PC. Also, you might possibly need MOSLO or a patch if it uses old for loop CPU speed detection methods.

ive been hoarding 1155 boards so i can have legacy options of operating systems , thanks for showing a great example of what it can do with legacy options seems to be a great sweet spot as 8.1 also runs real good on a sandy ivy bridge system

So, if 2.0 does run on MS-DOS 7.1, this means... You could install windows 2.0 on windows 9x and both could work

Hey, if you’re making a video on installing Windows 7 on your PC, install it on your NVMe or a partition on it and integrate USB 3.0 drivers. I challenge you not to use a PS/2 mouse or keyboard for this and use your mouse and keyboard.

[@LordSzo]

You skipped Windows 3.0!

[@alabama743]

3:35 Take it seriously when it said Incorrect DOS. You need to use DOS 3.30 or 3.10 to get it to run smoothly

Like I said for Windows 3.1, if DOS can run, these versions of Windows will run.

Try to install a very old version of Linux on a modern pc

Install some old version of RHEL or something like that.

well of course it needs a oldder version of msdos and not a cracked one that issnt even official

it works you just need to use the setver utility (or callver in freedos)

idea: run the first version macos on a modern pc

[@choppergirl]

Please do a video on how to run Windows 7 in full screen mode on top of Windows 11 using like virtulization or soemthing. SO it's like you are running Windows 7 totally, but you have Windows 11 underneath to have all the latest drivers... and that's about it. Because you don't care about anything at all in Windows 11, period. You just want WIndows 7 in 2023 and forever after going forward. Nobody wants Windows 11 or Windows 10.

[@amenbutcool]

It's still interesting that he didn't research the MS DOS version for Windows 1. As it is MS-DOS 3.30, but he tried using the new 6.22 version which is intended for WIN2. uhuh atleast he knew it after he looked at it

[@TheUltimateUserOfTheYear]

I think windows 2.0 is supporting new processors because its not intelligent enough or based for this, and the DOS error beacause you actually downloaded the modified one (i am not joking on you i am proud of you) but you was really unfair and you did it on your own host PC You are now my second favorite channel for computer techs
