-|[[File:Windows-Premiere1.0-Desktop.png|thumb|150px|Windows 1.0 Premiere Edition]]'''[[Windows 1.0 Premiere Edition]]''' is a pre-release version of [[Windows 1.0|Microsoft Windows 1.0]]. It was originally sent to key players in the computer industry by Microsoft to prove that their product wasn't vaporware.

In 2014-03, [[BetaArchive]] user trueyanksfan claimed to have the real floppies, and also posted a photo of them. On 2014-12-18, a set of disk images from the real Premiere Edition was released by the BetaArchive user Alias, through mrpijey.
