@@sylabulus Yes, those are often called "sleeper builds", but finding software and floppy/DVD drive compatibility per example on modern hardware is pretty rare if there's any, but if the plan isn't about use those, it's totally possible, some 90s cases already had the ATX standard, so yea, I can indeed be able to build a modern pc with an old case, but in my current situation, I'll need a modern looking build, but maybe one day I'll have the opportunity to build a sleeper, thank you for the info btw :D
Windows back then is so exciting and cool. Computers were just new and a new technology era has started. People would do anything just to get a copy of Windows.
Thanks for posting this. I remember using Windows 3.1 back in the 90s. Computers were so cool back then. Sure, they probably had half the power and storage capacity as my two year-old smartphone (if even that), but still, having a computer back then was really neat. It was before everyone had one, so if you did have one, you almost felt like part of an elite group.
Surprisingly, processing power doesn't grow as much as memory. One of the earliest processors for these machines clocked at 33 MHz. Today's fastest processors clocked at about 9 GHz, 270x faster. On the other hand, RAM had grown from roughly 8 MB to 128 GB (16384x bigger).
3.1 will never die. Lol My previous job was at a cabinet shop (I left in late 2020) that still used several legacy Windows OS. Mostly 95 and some 2000ME. But there was still one CNC router that ran on the OG 3.1 build until 2018 when the monitor in it finally crapped out. They then upgraded it to XP. . . I'm sure if one looked hard enough, they'd find 3.1 systems still functioning in some industrial, non-office use.
>I'm sure if one looked hard enough, they'd find 3.1 systems still functioning in some industrial, non-office use. I've heard Deutsche Bahn, the federal railroad enterprise of Germany and the largest railway company in the world is still using it, no joke.
Southwest Airlines still use 3.1 on some of their departments, sparing the airline from the recent Crowdstrike update that BSODed PCs around the world.

I remember having a bunch of those in my home when I was a kid. Most people today know about the 3½" floppy disks but not many knew about 5¼" or the OG 8" disks.
incredible how responsive and snappy Excel was even on that old machine (with that horrible operating sysem). these days Excel-2016 on a machine from 2022 isn't even able scroll through large spreadsheets fluently.
Nice ! I have few 286 systems with win 3.1 installed on them) Also a Siemens-Nixdorf p1/75, which looks like a bit the computer here on the left from that one
Nice video! I had an Olivetti with Intel 486 Dx 25MHz, 4 MB RAM and Windows 3.11. The keyboard was very similar to this, it didn't have the Windows keys.
My first computer in the early 90’s was a 386 DX ( I think) As I recall, it was a little over $3,700. ( in early 90’s dollars). I think that one game program I loaded had 20 5 1/4 “ floppy disks.
Isnt it because they stop being turned on that they stil doing today? Yet they can run without a software. But when use daily they will not go for another 20 years?

That would require heavy modifications to the iso besides the classic " bypass...", if not the source code of W11 to achieve this. Because ever since Windows 8, the installer checks for pae, sse and nx instructions set of the cpu installed in the pc ( and ever since Windows 11 24H2, sse must be 4.2 ). If at least one of those are missing, you'll get bsod Plus more amount of ram needed. I recall Windows 7 failing to start If there's 96mb of ram or less, so newer Oses would fail too I think Windows 2000/me would work at best on this machine I have doubts about XP, since support for some machines were dropped with this release, and I wouldn't be surprised if this one is no exception And if you think about installing a ssd/hdd with w11 on it already, in the pc, bsod for sure as well. No required instructions sets, too low ram and cpu
Everything looked so professional back then 😭😭
I know right
That loud airplane noise made me think that a computer would have alot in store
You can still build a modern PC with an old case, keyboard & so on, you know?

I've been trying to find footage of powerpoint on windows 3.1 for ages
You can use a vm, so you can play a bit

A cool computer to use to this day since this year marks Windows 3.1's 30th anniversary. Another great PC demonstration!
actually amazing how fluent the user interface was even back then

Pretty sure your phone had orders of magnitude more processing power than this PC
@@catsarethebest36 Yea, that's what I was gonna say. >w>'

Just imagine that most Banking systems are from the 80s and still running on fortran

First pc I had and I was 5 years old, so many memories and games and I learned a lot from it
Love the vintage beige machine. Great stuff.
I miss these days.
Great trip down memory lane for me this, so thanks for sharing.
i remember being able to dualboot (or in this case quintipleboot) windows 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 and 95
I'd love to have that keyboard. Those mechanical keyboards from the late 80s/early 90s were the best!
When a 35 yr old OS has a better file manager than todays smartphones.
Windows 3.1 saves the day during CrowdStrike outage - Southwest Airlines scrapes by with archaic OS
I have Windows 3.1! I like the fact you can change the background and the window colors.
Cool, brings back memories with my old PC.
I miss classic UI design, no hamburger menus to be found anywhere.
Why? Don't you think it looks a little chaotic? Kinda complicated like the cockpit of an aircraft?
There is a hamburger menu in the top left of each window to close it

@@edwardseymour4691i agree
I love your computer!
Oh Paintbrush ❤ how many hours I spent as a kid
I think my grandparents still have our old 3.1 machine somewhere, they used it to play Solitare till about 2007.
Back to time, when PC was luxuriously at brand new.
I wish I still had this computer. I miss Windows 3.1.
That computer is so old it even has the old Samsung logo!
i used to wipe the static off the screen. such a cool feeling
5 inch floppy is what impressed me!
I remember having a bunch of those in my home when I was a kid. Most people today know about the 3½" floppy disks but not many knew about 5¼" or the OG 8" disks.
Nice! I've been looking to find/build a retro PC for a while (98/XP era)
awesome
incredible how responsive and snappy Excel was even on that old machine (with that horrible operating sysem). these days Excel-2016 on a machine from 2022 isn't even able scroll through large spreadsheets fluently.
That noise when operating,,, ahhh,,, I miss the sounds.
Wow. Memory unlocked
эх... верните меня в то волшебное время..........💌🥲
Guess that means it's technically a DOS computer, since Windows 3.1 is installed over that.
I wish word and excel looked still like in 3.1 today
My goodness. Back when 1.44 MB of a floppy disk was considered big for portable storage.
Good review 👍
These are computer of what I see them in movies.
Nice Tower! I have a similar unit!
Luckily I have the same case as well. It was a k6 and I upgraded to k6-2

Great video by a guy with a great name. Subbed.
Please tell me this computer is up for sale 🥺
i use this version back then between 1993 to 2000.i played ski free games too. funny.
I love Windows 3.1
Nice setup!

This video is much more interesting than Hollywood movies
thats the ultimate 3.1 pc

Reminds me of 2nd grade @ the Computer Lab.
Awesome!
cant believe the calculator app didn't change much until windows 8/10
That Keyboard Design Is Used In Mechanical Keyboard Now A Days
Server rooms would look like this, according to my imagination.
Full of old PCs with towers.
Isnt it because they stop being turned on that they stil doing today? Yet they can run without a software. But when use daily they will not go for another 20 years?
I`ll miss the floppy a-b disk drive😭
Windows 3.1 is no operating system, but just a GUI for MS-DOS.
It is in fact called an "operating environment"
as i remember it cant install on empty hdd, u need install ms-dos before it

Good Computer
Very cool I enjoyed it/
My goodness. I think I saw Multiplan on that machine!

what model of case does this computer have?
what a fast computer))
Are all the USB ports located at the back of the machine coz I don't see any in the front?
USB did not exist it was an add on at the time

Amazing computer but I hope you don’t mind me asking what brand is that computer?
Muito bom não faz tanto tempo né? Mas é relíquia!
Why so violent?

How do I install the dancing baby and flying toaster screensavers on Win 11?
Hibbie A, Do you like Windows
Wow, how many old computers do you have?
I liked 3.1

Imagina a uma tarde com céu branco e você com seu windows 7 ir jogar roblox numa tarde de 2018
Pentium MMX is definitely late Windows 95 days
