I have a machine in storage that if it still fires up, has Win 3.1 on it.

Heck, I have a working DOS 5.0 machine in my lab. Unless it died over the holidays...

I had a Frankenstein machine on Guam. I made it from parts of computers left by dumpsters when people.threw them away. It cost me nothing. I ran Unbuntu on it at first but managed get an old Windows 8 disk from somebody who didn’t want it so I could run some old games on it.

I used a motherboard with burned out onboard graphics and added a video card from another computer without a power supply but that had an older motherboard. I used it to access the internet. On a non smart TV.

It actually worked.well for simple stuff
