If you're doing a full install of Windows 8.1, you need at least 25 Gb to store the OS. The typical "floppy" 3.5" holds 1.44 Mb of data.

You'd need 17,361 Floppies. Even if you get a version of Windows not tied to a Mfg model, you're still off by thousands of floppies.

If you were just doing the 8.1 upgrade from Windows 8, you'd need 2,083 floppies.

If you're gonna make a joke do the math first. C'mon.

Then those are labeled incorrectly.

so you do only install windows from blu-ray or 4-5 dvds?

3711 * 1,44 = 5343 MB

thats totally enough for the install image.
