Do you ever wanted to install Windows 8.1 from a floppy disk? Well with a little math we can see how many floppy disks you will need and how much you will need to pay (+ Photo)
Disks nedded: - Windows 8.1 install disk has ~ 2,9 GB which is ~ 2969 mb. (Link: How big should be the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 disk partition size?)
- A Floppy disk (HD model) has 1.44 MB
So that means we will need ~ 2062 Disks to install Windows 8.1
Cost: - One Floppy drive costs $9.76 (Link: Amazon.com: Verbatim 3.5In HD 1.44MB Pre-Fmt IBM 10Pk (Discontinued by Manufacturer): Electronics)
- Coping Windows 8.1 to disk serivce costs ~ $100
So you will need to pay $2897744
Now this is how it would look:
If you look carefully you can see that there are 2 white boxes full of floppyes + A HUGE box under (That is also full of floppyes)
Now you have learned how much money people from 90s would pay if they wanted to have windows 8.1 .
