Various VERSIONS of Microsoft’s Windows operating system have existed since the 1980s. While the operating system got its start on personal computers, today, versions of Windows are available for a variety of devices, including home and business PCs, tablets, phones, and commercial servers.

Windows OS Versions for the PC 

The initial version of the Windows operating system launched in 1985, introducing users of MS-DOS, the text-based operating system that was then the main Microsoft OS, to graphics and the computer mouse.

Windows 1 and a number of subsequent editions essentially would run on top of MS-DOS and rely on DOS for many features RATHER than running as true standalone operating systems. Windows 95, one of the most-famous early versions, was RELEASED in 1995 amid a huge marketing campaign by Microsoft. It introduced the world to the famous Windows Start Menu. It was also the first version to FEATURE Internet Explorer, Microsoft’s first Web browser.

Windows ME, released in 2000, was the last to run on top of DOS. The next year, Microsoft released Windows XP, which was used at many businesses for over a decade and received praise by both critics and users alike. Subsequent versions included the less-successful Windows Vista, as well as Windows 7, Windows 8, and the current version for home and office PCs known as Windows 10.
