Re: Is there any guide for installing Windows 3.11?

And best to play DOS games in DOS and not from within Windows (be it 3.x or 95+). You will run into problems eventually. Use Windows 3.x for Windows 3.x games 😀 And just for games Windows 3.1 is enough.

Closed. We do not allow abandonware links on Vogons and besides that you already posted such a link, everything else is likely to be an abandonware site as well.

Please don't post links to warez sites or Discords,or similar. Archive.org is already questionable.

How about you try DOSBox? It runs Windows 3.x quite well and might be a better choice for what you are aiming at. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=9405 One problem is the missing share. Most programs that don't really need it but query it are fine with fakeshare but if that fails a fork …

I'd compare the unit you have to the unit in the pictures before purchase. Look out for scratches or so that one has but the other doesn't. For example these scratches in the *previous* pictures I circled. If these are also at the same spot as on the actual device, you know at least that it is …
