Through emulation, all things are possible, such as running Android on Windows or playing retro video games. This emulator is no different. It's easy, and a lot of fun.

It's crazy to think that Windows 1.0.1 dropped on the world in 1985. I was three years old, so I can't say I ever used it, but that doesn't mean I don't have an interest in all things retro tech and a desire to take a walk down memory lane.

Whether it's a nostalgic trip for you too or just a way to burn minutes during your lunchbreak, the ability to run the original version of Windows right from within a modern browser is undeniably cool.

Windows 1.0.1 Home Screen

To get going, all you have to do is head over to PCjs [Broken URL Removed] where you'll find a Windows 1.0.1 emulator running on an old-school IBM PC XT (Model 5160). This powerhouse features a clock speed of 4.77 Mhz with 256Kb of RAM. Need disk space? No problem. The IBM PC XT (Model 5160) has 10Mb!

Just don't expect to run a web browser in it. The World Wide Web wasn't around yet.
