Let's run Windows '88... on modern hardware (aka Windows 2/286)

- Microsoft Windows/286 turns your personal computer into a multiple-applications environment. Instead of working with only one program at the time, you can work with many, selecting the programs that best suits your needs, whether existing DOS applications or Windows applications.
*Windows 2.03 was released in December 1987 for $99. One year later it was renamed Windows 2/286. A more expensive $195 variant designed for 386 computers was sold as Windows 2/386. Today we are diving into the standard version which targeted at the time 286 PCs but it will run of course on a very fast i3/13100F CPU.

If you are into 16bit Windows operating systems you might want to see Windows 3.11 in action on a modern CPU ->> ruclips.net/video/vSqyZxbyHww/видео.html
Times have changed. Back in 1989, if you had like 2K worth of software you could draw vector graphics. Today you can do it absolutely for free.
This was such an interesting project, loved the historic element too.
You need more subscribers man
Yes, I do...! However, a video about Windows 2/286 won't create much buzz, so I don't have higher expectations in terms of new subscribers. But I know that some of my subscribers are enjoying this type of content (including myself, of course) so I'll do more videos like this anyway... Thanks for watching.
@@O_mores Well I really enjoyed it thoroughly while having a hot chocolate, I wish you luck and will see you at your next obscure MS video! :)
you are an absolute legend omores
Thank you!
I would imagine Corel draw runs nearly flawless in Windows 8.
Core Draw 6 made for Windows 95 version should run even in Windows 11.
Someone should try something similar with SLS or OG Slackware.
I successfully made work 286 version but 386 version doesn't work correctly. And also Windows 3.0 standard mode does not work but enhanced mode works buggily but successfully.
Yes, I have problems too with /386 version. It doesn't work. :) But I didn't troubleshoot more than 5 minutes. I might take a day or two to find the right combination of DOS version/HIMEM.SYS/EMM386/partition size - sometimes the VGA card might the problem.
Maybe Windows/386 is actually expecting a genuine 386 CPU. ::)))
@@roberto88958 almost all CPUs contain 386 in their heart lmao
Hi Monique!!😊😊😊
8:53 What is that MIDI song ?
It's "The Alibi" by Laxity, I should make a separate video with this tune cuz' I get asked every time.
I tried getting Win 2.11 /386working in 86Box but the damn thing crashes after inserting the Display Disk (#2)
I had them all working years ago on my Pen. 233 MMX
Now Its gonna drive me nuts until I get it LOL
Windows 2/386 is NOT running on this configuration either. The installation is fine, but it hangs up. I think I can do it ... but some extensive troubleshooting is required. On some AMD configuration, I managed to get Windows 2 running only under DOS 5.
@@O_mores Yea the Problem I am having is Win 2.x Needs Ms-Dos 3.3.
You have to SETVER Win200.BIN I believe, but I cant do it before the Installation Process.
I Actually did it, then started the setup, but it still gave me the same Crash Error
On my Ryzen 9/3900X Windows 1&2 didn't work from the first try, I had to use a patched VGA driver and remove an SSD which was causing problems with it's own FAT16 partition. On this Intel 13th Gen CPU Windows 2/286 worked without any other workarounds. If I find a solution for Windows 2/386 I'll let you know... I still believe it's doable... :)
