I'm interested to see if Windows 3.11 can run on this backwards compatibility layer Edit: It can, mostly any version of 3.1 will run. 3.1, 3.11, 3.11 for workgroups, it will all work Also notice that the actual latest build with the feature still available was Build 328, specified in BetaWiki.
Glad you liked it! Frhed is the name of the hexadecimal editor I used to modify the win31 executable. v1.0.154 is compatible with 9x, link is in the description. HxD is another hex editor that some version might be run on 9x too ;)
The Progman trick works all the way until Windows XP SP1, with the Progman.exe being replaced by a dummy file that no longer functions when you install SP2.
windows NT won't probably handle that.. because of its virtual DOS machine (as there is no longer a real dos 16bit platform running underneath, so everything requiring direct hardware access semantics on its own, and not via NT's HAL, will fail to do so (these dualmouse drivers e.g., since .DRV and .386 drivers are not using that since relying on legacy hw access strategies). And Windows NT has lots of 32Bit stuff already, except for maybe UI elements (like in these 3.5 versions, which still looks like Windows 3.1). Windows NT might also require to be installed on a FAT16 filesystem, not under NTFS of course.

How I feel old but kinda privileged that I’ve got to experience computers as they’ve evolved
I found this years ago on Windows 95 I thought it was a pretty cool find
Wait, en français?
not bad!

It kinda looks like how OS/2 1.3 emulation was implemented in NT.

Perhaps running 3.1 could work in NT releases if NTVDM is used
In fact, If you pause the video at 9:52 and carefully watch at the title bar, you'll see that this is run through the NTVDM ;)
@@druka-greyI think it's very obvious that you Windows will give an error message instead of enter dos mode if ntvdm isn't there.

But still named "return to windows 95" in any windows version
Yes indeed, the string is hardcoded into the "WIN31.EXE" executable, but the last two characters could easily be changed to "98" or "ME" ;)

Very interesting..
Anything under NT is not gonna run W3.1 because 3.1 is based on the 9x and not NT
actually 3.1 is DOS based as it was released before window 9x Windows 95-ME were windows 9x based and windows 9x was DOS based

Win 3.1 can't work on Windows NT or on Win 2000 or on Win XP 😂🤣🥰🤣 because NT, W2000 and XP don't have the *native* MS-DOS support. 🙂😉
Windows 95 is not NT
@@jan99642 Yeah. Windows NT 3.1 doesn't have native MS-DOS option for quit Windows because NT has "Shutdown..." only (not "Exit Windows..."). 😉
And... Yerpe! Windows nt will yes handle that.
1981-1996💀💀 Windows 1.01 was created in 1985💀💀
MS-DOS:oh so uh yea why im not here?
why was the video not english
Because I'm not.
WinXP would be interesting, but probably another failure.
2000(NT 5.0)/XP(NT 5.1) are both based on the NT kernel so this is impossible with virtualization software
now to run windows 95
in windows 3.11
Will it work on 98 se
@15Volts bro did not
unrelated i wonder if it works on NT 4? 🤔
So you're french. C'est curieux.
Nah this is black magic!!!
i ran 95 in nt 3.51 with dosbox
