So, here is my conundrum, I have a 286 computer, with ms-dos installed. I want to however, also install Windows 2.x, preferable Windows 2.1, windows/286 onto as a "graphical" interface. I originally wanted to download some windows 2.1 files online , however, most online files i found were disk images and not the full instillation files. My windows 11 machine ids the files as corrupted and will not let me load / mount the files. I don't want to buy the original disks, cause cost, so if anyone has the original disks and can send me the file content or can direct me to a proper site with proper instillation files, that would be great. Or if you have another method to install windows 2.x onto a 286, that would also help, If not, I can still work with ms-dos.
This is kind of what I'm looking for, a file with all the installation bits (screenshot taken from pcjs.org)
This is what is provided by internet archive / other hosting websites, which doesn't work
