What are the advantages and disadvantages of Windows 3.1?

Answer 1

Well I am going to put it plainly. The pro (singular) is that it will work on just about any computer on the planet 386 and beyond. The cons are that it is not supported by windows anymore so if anything goes wrong more likely than not if you call windows they will tell you to upgrade. Another con is that it is limited in the software you can load. Most new software requires at least windows 98 if not XP. Really your best bet is to find someone with an old windows 98 disk that still has an unused license (people are throwing those away) because windows 98SE is a lot more stable than 95 and it connects to the internet better and loads drivers better. If you have a computer of 500mhz or better I would switch up to Windows XP. It is still windows but so far it is the best thing they have.
