Windows NT 4.0 build 1130

Windows NT 4.0 build 1130 is the earliest available build of Windows NT 4.0. This build comes with the Windows Explorer interface. The Workstation edition was listed on the Fate 008 warez CD, but was found in another warez source and shared on OSBetaArchive on 9 December 2015.

Being very early in development, it still contains many Windows NT 3.x apps and program groups on the Start menu, and is very similar to the Shell Technology Previews of Windows NT 3.51.

Changes

 * This build no longer loads the driver for HPFS partition access, and thus the user is no longer able to access HPFS-formatted partitions.
 * Removed the ability to install the system from 3½-inch floppy disks.
 * The default mouse pointer is set to "Animated Hourglass".
 * A CPU check for a 486 or greater processor has been implemented in  (there is no   on this build's CD), and as such the installer fails on 386-based systems.

Setup
Setup has been massively updated, featuring a new setup wizard. Network Configuration, Date/Time and Display Properties however were left untouched.

Control Panel

 * Introduced the "Add/Remove Programs" Control Panel applet.
 * The Desktop applet received major changes compared to the one from Windows NT 3.51. However, the preview bitmap still shows the legacy shell.
 * New regional settings, including an interactable world map.

Bugs

 * Testing display resolutions above 640x480 and 16 colors during setup can result in a bugcheck when using a Cirrus Logic graphics card. Therefore, it is recommended to leave settings unchanged and change them after the system has been fully configured.
