| 1356703 | 2013-10-24 01:55:00 | dos 6 and win 3.11 are both still available on technet, for those with a relevant subscription wanting it :P | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1356704 | 2013-10-24 02:41:00 | I had 3.11 on 6 floppies somewhere, might have thrown it out though. I do have windows 95c with USB support on a CD somewhere. |

| 1356705 | 2013-10-24 02:49:00 | Well, I've got DOS 6.22, Win 95 AND Win 3.11 on floppies all on my shelf beside me!! So there. Now don't ask me why the hell I keep these floppies, as I don't know myself. Must be some misguided nostalgia! |

Now don't ask me why the hell I keep these floppies, as I don't know myself. Must be some misguided nostalgia! I have a client still running Dos 6 (2 PC's). These old floppies still come in usefull. Im surprised mine were still readable |

| 1356707 | 2013-10-24 05:23:00 | I remember backing up my windows 3.11 floppies when new, then going to install it sometime later to discover disk errors on the originals. For a long time I used to install windows by going back and forth between the originals and the backups as they all were corrupted to a degree. Pretty certain I threw them out thinking of that. I gather the OP if He wasn't just trolling realises there is no upgrade option for any windows prior to XP so he needs a full or OEM version and a clean install. Given the huge difference in age & hardware requirements I assume it wasn't a serious question. |

| 1356709 | 2013-10-24 12:06:00 | Come to think on it I've got a heap of floppy disks with DOS 6, Win3.11 and miscellaneous stuff. Don't know why I keep them as I don't even have a working PC with a floppy drive now. | Rod J (451) | ||
| 1356710 | 2013-10-24 20:11:00 | Like me, Rod! Just has to be a combination of pack rat mentality and nostalgia! But, considering how much we paid for stuff in the olden days, it is no wonder we keep things. |
