If you want to know how you run Windows 95 on any modern operating system, it's good to know that someone has worked on an easy solution to reach your goal.

Apparently, there are few reasons why you might want to experience one of the oldest operating systems created by Microsoft. Windows 95, however, is one of the most important releases of the Redmond giant of all time, and people staggered to get hold of it as if it were the latest iPhone. If you want to understand an important part of the history of windows and PC programs, this operating system released 23 years ago is the secret.

Due to the fact that it has very limited performance requirements over the years, Windows 95 has been run on a huge variety of equipment, from printers to smart clocks. But these were proofs of concept, more than useful situations in which to make the most of the tools included in the old SO.

Next, I'm of the opinion that Windows 95 helps you understand how a Microsoft operating system works and how important the backdoor MSDOS infrastructure is. If you want to experiment with it quietly, there is an easy solution that is compatible with any modern operating system and does not require a complicated installation process. From a point of view, we are talking about a virtual machine. But because you have nothing to configure to put it on your feet, it's like running a game in a window in Windows, MacOS or Linux.

To download the version of Windows 95 you need, use this Github link for the project. From the Assets section, click the appropriate version of your operating system. You have variants with rpm and deb extension for Linux, zip for MacOS and exe for Windows. On Windows, you can install Windows 95 like any other program. Finally, you will find it in the Start bar.

It runs very simply, and from the View menu above the window with the new SO, you can choose to run it in Full Screen - on the whole screen. In this Windows 95 iteration, you have access to all the games of that time that were included, such as Minesweeper, Solitaire, Freecell, or Hearts. MS DOS works very well if you want to practice your knowledge of commands. When you've finished your job, you can shut down Shut Down.
