The first windows product I ever used, I bought and still have the disks Windows 3.11.
Back then, I thought the hard drive was huge, it had a capacity of 780 meg and I'd never fill it. Shocked

Now people wouldn't blink at a drive of 1 or 2 terabytes. Cool

Windows 3.11 for Workgroups all the way! (And i'm only 16; My first computer was DOS 6.2 when I was 7 years old - best machine I've ever had.)

Bought a Gateway first. With windows 95. Then upgraded to 98. Five years later and not knowing how to get help, a lot of surfing gone by and the computer being pretty much locked up, Gateway said they were not going to support my computer any longer.
I bought a dell. Now 4 years later and very careful surfing  the dell is pretty much locked up. Frustrated, to say the least, I found Computer Hope yesterday. I have a forum going and high hopes of this turning out to be a successfull, knowledge gathering experience. And maybe acquiring a new group of helpful friends.

Windows 3.1.  One feature I recall that I liked was the File Manager.

The computer was a Packard Bell Force 2010, with an Intel 486 processor.  Later, ran Win 95 on it.

Windows 3.1 on a 386 33Mhz with 4MB of RAM and a 40MB hard drive. I was the envy of my friends. The only one who could play Doom smoothly.  Grin Grin Grin

1x CD drive

I'm not sure if I still have one of those.  I wonder if a modern system would detect it.  The kind I have is where you put the disk in a "holder" which looks almost like a jewel case, and then load the "holder" into the CD-ROM.   Shocked

Mine actually looked just like most drives do now, with a mechanical sliding tray, but used an ISA card instead of connecting to an IDE cable.

It came with some Windows 'look-alike' GUI, forgot what it was called.

I still have, my proprietary MITSUMI drive. The whole assembly slides out and the lid opens upwards to pop the disc in.
