What was your first Operating System?

Also, provide a brief history, if you want.

My (family and my) first OS was Windows XP. I have SO MUCH nostalgia from when I was a kid, screwing around in Paint or 3D Pinball or something.

HISTORY (FAMILY PC)
2001-2012: Windows XP
2013-Present: Windows 7
(SCHOOL MAC)
2015-Present: OS X Yosemite.

I want to know if you guys have nostalgic memories with PCs, too!

I had XP for the longest time until mid-2014 when I switched over to Windows 8. I got a laptop fairly recently, and it has Windows 7.

But yeah, I know what you're talking about with Paint and Pinball. I used to mess around in Paint all the time. About Pinball, I had this Space Pinball game that I was actually really good at. There was also a cheat for it where you could control the ball with your mouse. It was pretty fun to play around with.

My family's first OP was Windows 98. My dad purchased a Compaq Presario in 1999 that was our first computer, afaik. That was the OP is used as a kid until we upgraded to XP (even then, the old Compaq was relegated to my room, so I still used that for some years.) A few years ago, I purchased a Windows 7 laptop, which is what I currently use.

Windows 98 (1999-2002)
Windows XP (2002-2011)
Windows 7 (2011-present)

I still remember when I had to get used to an upgrade to Windows 95.

Once I had Windows XP and it was only in the family computer. Now all the PCs in my home have Windows 7.

My first OS was a Windows 95, the monitor is nowhere to be found, but I still have the box.

First operation system was Windows 95 but no internet access what so ever. Ahh, wish I could go in the past and play those wonderful games we had back then like for example Break-Out games and others that we couldn't play them right now. What a shame.

I played Windows 98 on one of my friends when I was younger but that was basically the second operation that I used.

That was my 3rd operational PC that I used and also the first one that accesses the internet. It was a fun experience back then.

I got to Windows 7 at like almost 2 years ago. Before Windows 7 I had Windows 8 which after like 2 month of use it crashes a lot of times and then we had to replace it with Windows 7 and that PC that I'm using now... it's super good. On Win8, it was good at first but later on it causes even more crashes and we had to replace it because it couldn't really boot up anymore and we had to send it to the repairshop.

So you installed Windows 8 first, before Windows 7? Well that's interesting.

No. It was a entire PC tower, not an actual installer.

My first OS was Windows XP with my first PC. It's nice memories. After that I got new PC with Windows 7. Now I have new PC with Windows 8.1, where I just installed few programs to make it comfortable like Windows 7.
