Installing Windows for Workgroups - WFW v3.11 on Android Phone is very easy as cracking a nut...... But before going ahead you need some patience and presence of mind. Windows 3.1x is a series of obsolete 16-bit operating environments produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, released on April 6, 1992. The series began with Windows 3.1, which was first sold during April 1992 as a successor to Windows 3.0 . Subsequent versions were released between 1992 and 1993, notably Windows 3.11, until the series was superseded by the Windows 9x series starting in 1995 with Windows 95. Windows for Workgroups v3.11 (originally codenamed Snowball) was released on August 11, 1993, and shipped in November 1993, by Microsoft. It supported 32-bit file access, full 32-bit network redirectors, and VCACHE.386 file cache, shared between them. WFW 3.11 dropped standard mode support and requires a 386 machine to run. It can be extended to 32-bit operating environments by installing Win32s. Final release on December 31, 1993; 27 years ago.
