Windows on a 286 computer 

You can run Windows 3.1 on a 286 but only in Standard Mode, not Enhanced mode. Nice machine and good to see it in such good condition.

Underrated channel

You *could* go all the way up to 3.10 on a 286, Windows for Workgroups does require a 386 though.

I remember Windows 2.0 on a 286 but didn't get Windows 3.1 until I had a 386DX machine.

As much as I am for restoring these, as you said, it’s yours not mine, and besides, it’s f*cking gorgeous!

awesome...thanks mate

did win 3.11 work on your pc, mine have 3.11 working fine but I have EGA card problem so sometimes graphics is blurred or no graphics & need to restart. I'm looking for EGA /VGA combo card & network card, if you could help let me know. m from India & have IBM AT 80286 with Harris chip.

Is not an any achievement. At 286 run smoothly the Windows 3.11. I Have this Windows on my olivetti 286 20mhz.

Windows 3.0 will run on a 286. I know because I've owned a 286/12 AT & 286/20 NEAT PC running Windows 3.0. I don't know about being able to run Windows 3.0 on 286/6 & 286/8 PCs though, as I have never attempted to, yet.

You can install Windows 3.0 this is much better an if you have more than 640 K of ram it works well on a 286 I have it on my 286 PC bu i have only 640 K of ram so windows runns only in Real-Mode ;) and i have the Original 20 MB MFM HDD

The 286/12 PCs were faster than the 386/16 PCs.

Sweet machine. I'm on the lookout for a 286 or a 386. Will find one someday!

I like the painting solution to discolouration. The "retrobrite" craze is a bit out of control. Pretty impressive how so many people are convinced that fixing something caused by oxidization by immersing it in a strong oxidizer and forcibly catalyzing oxidization is a good idea...

“Swedisch is going to be the next int languange” hahahaha.

The 286 we used to have came with Windows 3.0, so 3.0 will work on a 286. 3.1 may still work, though that's a stretch. WFW 3.11 may indeed not work and require a minimum 386.

Very nice looking 286. On the inside that is! Great content!

Very good video!

And of course... Hard.. Drives.....

Windusssss

Wordstar is my fav software on 386

这个估计只能用 ms dos

That background music is fucking awful...
