The earliest form of install media was the floppy disk, which emerged in the 1970s. Floppy disks were used to distribute software and operating systems, including MS-DOS and early versions of Windows. The introduction of CD-ROMs (Compact Disc-Read Only Memory) in the 1980s revolutionized the distribution of software and operating systems. CDs offered higher storage capacity and better durability than floppy disks.
