This page details how to install Windows 1.01 and Windows 2.11 in QEMU. '''Windows 1.0''' is an operating system created by Microsoft, released on November 20, 1985. It was the first major release of Microsoft Windows and introduced some features and programs still present in Windows today.
'''Windows 2.0''' was released on December 9, 1987, and was the second major release of Windows. It added overlapping windows and protected mode to Windows, among other things
==Windows 1.x==
====MS-DOS====
Windows 1 is not its own OS like Windows NT is, and depends on MS-DOS. So you'll need to install MS-DOS or FreeDOS before you can use it. It is most stable on MS-DOS 3.30, but it can run on MS-DOS 6.22, FreeDOS, and others if you use <code>setver</code>. For a tutorial on how to install MS-DOS 3.30, [[
====Windows 1.01====
The mouse doesn't work properly unless you use a driver from Windows 2.03 (even though Windows 1.04 includes an IBM Mouse driver, and QEMU can emulate it with the "<code>-serial msmouse</code>" option, it doesn't seem to work with Windows 1.) To get the mouse to work, copy a <code>mouse.drv</code> from a Windows 2 installation and place it into your Windows 1 installation. A zip containing this driver is available from [https://winworldpc.com/download/c2bacb86-c28d-c390-e280-a1c39411c3a4 WinWorldPC].
Make
<pre>qemu-img create -f qcow2 DOS.img 32M</pre>
You'll need [[QEMU/Installation|QEMU]] installed.
====Windows 2
Download it from [https://winworldpc.com/product/windows-20/windows-386 WinWorldPC]. Windows 2.11/386 is recommended, but any version will work.
====MS-DOS====
Windows 2 depends on MS-DOS, so you'll need to install MS-DOS or FreeDOS before you can use it. It is most stable on MS-DOS 3.30, but it can run on MS-DOS 6.22, FreeDOS, and others if you use <code>setver</code>. For a tutorial on how to install MS-DOS 3.30, [[
===Setting up===
Make a disk image by opening the Terminal (or Command Prompt) and typing this:
<pre>qemu-img create -f qcow2 DOS.img 32M</pre>
'''32M''' can be replaced with however big you want the hard drive to be (with M standing for Megabytes). Windows 2 is an extremely old OS so space should be of no concern.
After installing DOS, start QEMU up:
<pre>qemu-system-i386 -m 1M -hda DOS.img -net none -vga std -name "Windows 2.0 (x86)" -monitor stdio -display sdl -rtc base=localtime</pre>
