Microsoft Word 1.1a ported to run natively on Windows 11

A developer has successfully created a native x64 port of Microsoft Word for Windows 1.1a, allowing the 1990s-era word processor to run on modern Windows 11 systems. This port utilizes the original source code, which was made publicly available by the Computer History Museum in 2014. The project required significant development effort to replace legacy 16-bit components with modern equivalents, and while binaries are not directly provided, the build process is detailed on GitHub for those with the necessary development tools.
