All new windows are based of NT, the only ones called NT were Windows NT 3, 3.5 and 4 then came Windows 2000 (NT version 5).
Windows XP (NT version 5.1) Vista (NT Version 6) Windows 7 (NT version 6.1)

Wasn't windows 95 a gui for Win 3.1 not dos.  And in turn win 3.1 was a gui for Dos. Or am I wrong. ??? All the same thing really up until they started using NT.

I remember someone saying you can't install windows 95 without dos I'm about to test that on VMware.
I had Windows 95 running without 3.11 installed.

Probably B was only sold to OEM, so you could only buy A and C

Yes DOS and DOS Shell I ran windows 3.11 on my 486 one day I decided to do some cleaning of the hard disk and deleted command.com autoexect.bat and a third one that I can't remember.
Also installing a cd-rom in my pc it was a 12 speed(fastest one at the time) no plug and play, it took dad a while to edit the right files.
The good old days.
