Windows 3.1 ISO

 

Overview of Windows 3.1 ISO
Back in March of 1992, Microsoft started marketing its latest 16-bit working framework Windows 3.1 which was meant to replace the older Windows 3. Windows 3.1 was the 4th type of Microsoft’s GUI-based working structure, which was discharged to the general society in 1993. Windows 3.1 was a paid update of Windows 3.0 which had got such a great amount of fame to the point that Microsoft charged for the newer codebase changes instead of offering it as a free update to Windows 3. 

Before the times of the Start menu, Microsoft had an application called the program administrator which was presented back in Windows 3. This program enabled clients to start different projects without utilizing a CUI based interface or a command line. Windows 3.1 introduced the Start menu which replaced the Program Manager on Windows 3.0 and earlier operating systems.
