What's the first Windows Version you ever used?

Wow, that blows my mind. We were still using diskettes when I first started college! My first laptop was a Compaq Presario that had a diskette drive and an optical drive in it.

I think I've still got the laptop around here somewhere though the motherboard died long ago. I used it well past its lifespan to maintain compatibility with old DOS games. This was before the marvel that is DOSBox existed.

Sadly, MSDOS was my first foray into Microsoft products. I got my first 386 in 1989 I think and i'm sure it came with MSDOS 4.0.

I didn't bother with Windows until version 3.0 came along and then I got given a copy by a friend's dad who worked in IT, such as it was at the time.

My first computer was a Commodore. I think it had a tape drive.

I remember those. And eventually a floppy drive that overheated every time you tried to read a 160K floppy disk (5?, no less).

Windows 2.0. Also used many versions of MS-DOS and PC-DOS as well as OS/2.

Remember the tagline for OS/2? It launched with IBM's PS/2. The snarky tag line was "Half an operating system for half a computer".

My first computer was a Commodore. I think it had a tape drive.

My first computer was a Sinclair ZX80. I had a Commodore 64, Acorn Electron, BBC Model B and Sinclair Spectrum all before I got my first PC.

Those were the days

Oh man, the Sinclair ZX80 was a gorgeous computer. I do have my baby here...

But he's from before my time. I don't use him to much since it's easier to just run an 8-bit emulator on my Mac but I keep him on the shelf. One of my favorite retrogaming acquisitions.

I think the first I used was XP, but I might've used 98 first and I just can't remember it

Windows 95 was my first go at a computer.

Believe it or not I was an Apple guy back then! I had an Apple II! Of course I had plenty of DOS computers too, but my first version of Windows was called Windows 286 I believe and it was a predecessor to Windows 3.0 and was made for the then popular 286 computers, it was a variation of Windows 2.0 I believe.

DOS and old Macintosh computers. Not sure what those ran because I was 7 back then. These were school computers. Most people didn't have PC's back then.

Cut my teeth on plain ol' MS-DOS... then Windows 3.0

I had DOS on a cartridge...

I've used all versions of Windows from 3.1 to Windows 10. My favorite has got to be Windows 7.
