| Because people frequently wonder if their ancient computers are able to run a given Windows version, I decided to create that topic. After spending a lot of time on Microsoft's website, I can list the system requirements for the early Windows operating systems. In standard (286) and enhanced (386) mode, Windows 3.x requires additional extended memory (beyond the first Megabyte) in addition to the conventional memory (the first 640 Kb). Windows 1.01 x86 processor, 256 Kb of memory Two floppy drives or a hard disk MS-DOS 2.0 or higher Windows 2.03 x86 processor, 512 Kb of memory Two floppy drives or a hard disk MS-DOS 3.0 or higher Windows/286 x86 processor, 512 Kb of memory Hard disk is a mandatory MS-DOS 3.0 or higher Windows/386 80386, 640 Kb of memory Hard disk is a mandatory MS-DOS 3.0 or higher Windows 3.0 x86 processor and 640 Kb of memory > Standard mode: 80286, 640 Kb + 256 Kb > Enhanced mode: 80386, 640 Kb + 1024 Kb 6 Mb of free space on hard disk MS-DOS 3.1 or higher Windows 3.1 80286, 640 Kb + 256 Kb of memory > Enhanced mode: 80386, 640 Kb + 1024 Kb 8 Mb of free space on hard disk MS-DOS 3.1 or higher Windows for Workgroups 3.11 80386, 640 Kb + 2048 Kb of memory 10 Mb of free space on hard disk MS-DOS 3.1 or higher Windows NT 3.x 80386 25 MHz, 12 Mb of memory 90 Mb of free space on hard disk Windows 95 80386DX, 4 Mb of memory 50 Mb of free space on hard disk Windows NT 4.0 80486 25 MHz, 12 Mb of memory 120 Mb of free space on hard disk Windows 98 80486DX2 66 MHz, 16 Mb of memory 200 Mb of free space on hard disk *** These are the official recommendations. In contrast, a German website lists some "funny" experiences: http://winhistory.de/more/386/winq.htm |
