I actually have a Windows 3.11 manual, the damn thing has at least 200 pages.

The person says over 600 in the video.

I just checked the manual and it has exactly 300 numbered pages, and a sticker with the product key neatly placed on the last page of the manual. Why microsoft bothered with the product code for Win3.1 remains a mystery, as registering your Windows 3.x installation was completely optional. :)

I believe in the Win 3.x installer, you could type anything you wanted for the product code.

I still have 2 sets in my room!

I could find at least 1 copy at my home, and there's at least one of the big metal disks that they used for storing (like 1 foot in diameter or so...) and I'm sure I could find a few other things...
