Microsoft Windows

First of all you need to know that this here is just an additional info page about DOS. You can find more info on the dedicated pages within the corresponding timeline area.

Since there are many versions of Windows, I thought I would install the different versions within a virtual system and show them to you.

The important thing is that if you want to copy it → remains legal
I have a license for every version of Windows shown except for versions 1 and 2, although I have to check to what extent these are still licensed. In the worst case, I only install them (test version) to show you and then delete them again.

The video will show up in the timeline within the specific version to not have everything in double and triple 🙂
