i'm pretty sure Windows 1 never shipped standalone. i still have the disks to a game that used it for the runtime though. the earliest version of Windows i used was 2.03 and i have used and developed software on every version since then. by the time it was called Windows 286, it was version 2 of Windows. i have the manuals but no disks anymore. Windows 1 could run on a 8086 and didn't require a 286.

The neatest thing in that sale was an original box containing Windows
286. I'm pretty sure it was considered Windows 1.0 but not called
that. I am almost positive it pre-dated Windows 2.0, but all that was
a long time ago in computer years. I bought it from a guy who worked
for Microsoft at the time, and he got it through his job.
