Yeah, there are no guarantees there, assuming you can even find a working floppy drive. (I actually own a full set of DOS 6.22 + Win 3.1 install floppies, and a full set of 16-bit MS Office install floppies as well, but whether any of them are still readable is anyone's guess. If I ever tried to use them again, I'd probably find out that the next-to-last Office floppy had died of spontaneous degaussing at some point in the past twenty years, after I'd already gone through the remaining 40+ disks.)
