Windows 3.11 was my first Windows operating system that was a full version and not an update. I seem to remember at a later date installing either XP or Vista and being asked to insert a disk with the full version of a previous Windows OS as proof that I did qualify for an update version. I had to search around to find my original Windows 3.11 floppies before Microsoft would allow me to install the new Windows OS. |

Would have been XP, Vista didn't ask for a previous disc as XP's could be so heavily modified by the OEM that it could become unrecognisable. (Side note: Windows 7 checks elegibility based on whatever OS is installed on the PC before formatting) | pcuser42 (130) | ||
