My dosbox and multiple attempts to build VMs of windows 3.1 say this isn't completely true
Man, I hate to break it to you, but the Windows version from 25 years ago is... Windows 98.
I know, I know. I'm so sorry. I felt like that when I noticed, too.
What did I ever do to you for you to hurt me in this way?
Wait, that can't be true... Oh crap it is. I feel extra old now.
Win98 software also do not work reliably on modern Windows. Microsoft abandoned that kind of compatibility a while ago for a mix of both good and bad reasons.
You will have better odds of running it on ReactOS or Linux.
