Windows on Windows

This article is about the 16-bit subsystem in the 32-bit editions of Windows NT. For the 32-bit compatibility layer in the 64-bit editions, see WoW64.

With computers, Windows on Windows (often shortened to WOW,[1][2][3]) is a compatibility layer of x86 versions of the Microsoft Windows NT family of operating systems that allows many legacy 16-bit programs run that were made for Windows 3.x or before to run.
