Wow, I actually came across a Windows 1.0 while cleaning in the basement last summer. I didn’t think about the fact that it was 30 years old.

I still have a Compaq luggable (precursor to laptops) running some variant of Win-2. It's been a few years since I booted it but it was running perfectly the last time I tried it.

If you actually have this, save EVERYTHING, it’s valuable. I had it. The only thing I have left from that very early era is the very expensive (>$100) MOUSE, which had a mechanical ball. Still works.
