Savvy Sage - Installing Windows 3.11 on a Virtual Machine (Savvy Sage Archives)
infoAbout This Title
(Originally released on May 20th, 2014 and May 24th, 2014)
This video is also featured (with commentary) in my Savvy Sage retrospective, Revisiting My Pre-YouTube Videos.
What you’re watching are two of my earliest videos, where I install Windows 3.11 in a virtual machine, and install a CD-ROM driver in MS-DOS through a virtual machine, released on May 20th, 2014 and May 24th, 2014 respectively.
Some background: Before YouTube, I hosted videos directly on my website through something called the “Video Corner”, which was basically a page on my website that had a list of video links and…that was it. At the time, I didn’t have a YouTube account and most of the work I did back then was just a hobby. It wouldn’t be long before I started hosting videos on YouTube the following year—the rest (as they say) is history.
As for the videos themselves—these were recorded and edited on a 2010 iMac, with Screen Recorder Pro and iMovie apps respectively, with the built-in EarPods mic used as a microphone. The screen recordings were done entirely unscripted with no rehearsals, leading to moments like referring to virtualization software as “emulators”, despite the fact that they’re technically NOT the same thing. The first video contained no music whatsoever, while the follow-up had royalty-free music (courtesy of Kevin MacLeod) throughout the video.
As for the CD-ROM driver files that I mentioned in the video: I have no plans to redistribute them—for obvious reasons.
