Default I want to downgrade to MS Windows 3.0

I want to downgrade to MS Windows 3.0. My computer came with Windows 10.
I hate it. I've been using Windows 3.0 since around 1989 or thereabouts.
How can I remove Windows 10?

I have Windows 3.0 on floppy. But this computer dont have a floppy slot.
How can I add the floppy thing I need to read these floppies?

After that, I wont have any trouble. I've installed Windows 3.0 many
times in the past.

Take your $300 6TB hard drive, and using an HPA,
clip it down to 2GB.


2GB is the maximum file size under DOS (NT operating systems made that
4GB) on FAT file systems.

FAT allows partition sizes up to 2TB (use DOS 7.1 for FAT32). although
there might be some lower limit somewhere.

Probably this one applies:

BIOS Int 13 - the 8.5 GB limit

At most 1024 cylinders (numbered 0-1023), 256 heads (numbered
0-255), 63 sectors/track (numbered 1-63) for a maximum total capacity of
8455716864 bytes (8.5 GB). This is a serious limitation today. It means
that DOS cannot use present day large disks.

Did you get internet access with it?


Do you get wafers with it? (M. Python reference)

Presumably he will re-use his Trumpet Winsock licence, or maybe install
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 rather than Windows 3.0 :-P


Presumably he's taking the **** but yes, Win 3.11 would be better.

I found Windows 3.5 to be the best.


Nah. Windows 1.11:
