I have a laptop on which I want to install Windows 1.0, maybe someone here knows how to do it, thanks in advance.
I'm not sure if you can still get Windows 1.0 at all.
After all, it's already 36 years old.
There's sure to be that somewhere on the Internet
Just who does that to themselves.
You can install it via Virtual Box, take a look at this video
Thank you, you helped me a lot
I'm glad you like my answer! 😊
Laptop on which I want to install Windows 1.0 …
Windows 1.0
Is not an operating system that runs by itself.
It's a graphical user interface for Dos.
If you should get hold of a copy, you can run it under https://www.dosbox.com/. M $ Dos 3.3 is recommended for use in DosBox or Virtualbox. (Earlier MSDos versions do not support Fat16)
You can't install an M $ Dos as an operating system on modern hardware (built after 98).
For direct installation, MSDos requires a floppy disk drive on a floppy disk controller as the operating system (no USB / CD solution). Hard drives must be Fat16 formatted. (Maximum size with MSDOS 3.3 = max 32MB with MSDos 6.22 max 2GB).
I doubt whether a modern SATA / M.2 interface is natively supported at all.
Other hardware that is used by MSDos (DMA controller graphics interfaces etc) should no longer be offered in modern hardware either…
So nothing with a laptop at the latest after 2000.
Here are some instructions for installing Windows 3.0 in DosBox.

Ultimately, you can fake an ancient window on a laptop… But beneath the surface, at least a Windows XP or Windows 7 and emulation software such as DosBox or VirtualBox must interact with the hardware.
I still play old Dos games from the 80s with DosBox on a computer that can also handle modern games.
Thank you for these detailed instructions, and for taking so much time to help me.
And you helped me a lot thanks!
