Windows 3.1, Compaq, 1GB hard drive. I am going to guess that this is a 90's-era system (i.e. about 20 years old). So, that drive probably uses an IDE connector and the CPU is probably a 486 or earlier Pentium. It's a small miracle that the system is still running. But that's just a guess. Can you provide us with a bit more detail about the hardware? For example, does it have a CD ROM drive? What model Compaq is it? While you may not know what software was used to clone the drive, how was the clone performed? For example, did you boot from a CD or remove the drive or something else? My inclination would be to remove the drive, connect it to a USB/IDE adapter, image it using dd on a linux laptop, and run the image within VirtualBox to verify that the imaging worked[1]. Good luck and let us know how things turn out.
