Microsoft Windows was released on November 20, 1985. I didn’t get Windows 1. My first Windows program (it wasn’t an OS back then) was 2.03, so I missed out on all the early hype. Did you? If so, we get to play catchup now.
Kids these days have no idea what the early days were like, do they?

When we had to program uphill, both ways, in the snow. Getting up 2 hours before we went to bed…
I don’t think there WAS a Windows 1. In the dim recesses of my memory, I seem to remember something like that.
Windows 1 on top of DOS 3.1. And you couldn’t get rid of it. It was a very sticky GUI.
