Every Windows Version Ever!

It all started on November 20, 1985, when Microsoft released Windows 1.0 to the world, but did you know that it wasn't even a real operating system, instead of being a standalone operating system? Windows 1.0 was a graphical shell that ran on top of ms-dos to create It is easier to use than a tedious command line, although many reviewers did not like it, as Windows 1.0 was quite demanding on the systems of the time and depended on a lot of mouse. I mean, they're so uncommon. Where I go? find one that makes using it difficult patchy, but Word and Excel for Windows made their debut in Windows 2.0.

The 2.1 variant released the following year was actually the first

version

of Windows that required a hard drive, as previous

version

s could run on floppy disks. Windows 3.0 from the 1990s was a major change and not only because Microsoft spent three million dollars on the launch event, not only did it look much better, but it also allowed for a much smoother multitasking experience and introduced for the first time a icon-based graphical user interface, making it much easier to use than previous versions of Windows. 3.0 also brought support for CD-ROM and sound playback, and Microsoft even sold some simple games like Minesweeper for Windows 3.0, which became extremely popular and made people think of the PC as a gaming platform.

Windows 3.1 followed in 1992 and introduced drag-and-drop icons. as well as truetype fonts, meaning that what you saw on your screen would end up being what you would get when you printed a hard copy. The following year brought us Windows 3.2, which was just a Chinese version of 3.1, as well as Windows NT 3.1, but despite the similar name NT represented a fundamental architectural change other versions of Windows still ran on top of DOS but did not run on a completely separate kernel that allowed more advanced features; In fact, modern versions of Windows are part of that same empty lineage, but that doesn't mean that Microsoft was ready to get rid of DOS-based Windows just yet, even though we got NT 3.5 in 1994. 1995 brought us the successful Windows 95 and, Although it still ran on top of DOS, it marks the point at which Windows really came into its own as an operating system with familiar features like the start menu and taskbar and support for USB in later updates.

The nt series also received an update in 1996 with Windows NT 4.0 using basically the same graphical user interface as Windows 95. Windows 98 appropriately released in 1998 was an improved system. version of Windows 95 that was supposed to integrate better with the Internet, but, infamously, 98 was very buggy; In fact, the bugs were so prevalent that they led Microsoft to release the second edition of Windows 98 in 1999 along with another version of NT called Windows 2000, which was much more. stable than 98, but it also resulted in Microsoft getting nervous because it contained a large number of security flaws despite Redmond billing it as the most secure Windows

ever

created.

Microsoft didn't exactly right the ship in 2000 as we got absolute crap from an operating system called

windows

me, I mean they introduced system restore which is certainly a very useful feature but the operating system was extremely unstable , which led people to say that I represented editing by mistake after the emmy flop,

windows

based dos was permanently phased out and in 2001 got the legendary windows xp. XP brought Windows NT and the NTFS file system, which supported large hard drives for home users for the first time. XP also came in professional and 64-bit editions, as well as a stripped-down version for older systems.

The eye-pleasing graphical user interface and powerful performance made it an extremely popular operating system, although users were not enthusiastic about the product's activation of the anti-piracy scheme that made its first appearance in XP; How

ever

, XP remained very popular until 2009 thanks in part to the fact that the release of Windows Vista in 2007 was an unmitigated disaster. Vista attempted to modernize the Windows graphical user interface with glass arrows and patched security holes present in XP, but it also featured very burdensome DRM schemes and had many hardware compatibility issues. how different Vista was from its predecessor, while others pointed out that OEMs simply didn't update their drivers in time and wrongly marketed low-end systems as technically Vista-ready even though the experience wasn't very good, in any case, Microsoft released Windows 7 in 2009, which was visually similar to Vista but significantly more stable, especially since the PC hardware had had some time to catch up with this revamped version of the operating system.

Windows 7 became so popular that it held its own against its successor operating system well into the 2010s and some editions of Windows 7 are actually still supported until 2023, of course, part of the reason why Windows 7 remained popular was because Windows 8 from 2012 was quite confusing software, that is, it was not a bad operating system in terms of stability, features or performance. It's just that many users didn't like it because Microsoft tried to take a tablet-oriented operating system like their Surface line, which they were pushing hard at the time, and then shoehorn it into a desktop environment with a new home screen instead of menus. live and metropolitan apps that simply didn't serve much purpose for keyboard and mouse users, the main criticism from mainstream users focused on the fact that Microsoft completely removed the start button and start menu, causing the release of Windows 8.1 in 2013, which restored these features and added some new ones like Miracast and support for 3D printers. 8.1 proved to be more popular than 8, but in 2015 Windows 10 made its grand entrance, removing the Start screen but still proving to be usable on both desktops and tablets, unlike previous versions of Windows.

Microsoft has said that Windows 10 will be continually updated as a service, making it the latest version of Windows and thus the point where today's story ends, but wait, you didn't talk about the server and the integrated versions of Windows, you are right.
