I tried running the very first bitcoin client released by Satoshi in 2009, Bitcoin v0.1.0 on Windows 10. Of course I knew it wouldn't work or do anything since it's extremely outdated, but I wanted to try it anyway out of curiosity.

It runs but doesn't make any connections and can't download the blockchain. Is there a technical reason for this?

    Did you give it a few nodes to connect to? The mechanism that it uses to find initial nodes won't work anymore because it's long since been replaced. – David Schwartz Jul 30 '23 at 02:52
