So happy that you don't know whether it's 1995 or 1998 it seems?:D
Has the world fallen appart at the seams yet? Planes falling from the sky? Nuclear bombs auto launching?
O and I wanted a 95 machine but I decided that 98 would be better.
DOS support on 98 was very good if you had a decent GFX card
I went everywhere computer shops, colleges, schools, the dump, charity shops I travelled around o bric a brac stores. They were hard to find
Windows ME was an abomination. It was called Mistake Edition for a reason.
Why was it an abomination?
I was put in a position where I 'had' to install it on a work PC (back in the day) due to some issue with a piece of Adobe software (think it was PageMaker). Bizarre situation, luckily I didn't have to use it much after that!
of course he could, you can install win95 on the most expensive cutting edge PC on the market if you really want to. Guy seems to have gone all over looking for a PC already running Win95 when all he really wanted was an old PC and a copy of win95 to run on it.
OP is a "she".
maybe, I just noticed the user name but still not 100% proof ;-)
Could have but couldnt find an old pc with floppy. if memory serves me righ I thought you needed a floppy to install win 95 might be wrong ! I couldn't even find an old PC!
As long as you are happy that is the main thing. Dual booting win 98 on a new machine would be a pain in the ass with sata hard drives.
I have a virtual XP PC installed for similar reasons.
But kudos for taking the difficult way out and enjoying yourself. Just don't connect it to the Internet.
Umm I'm pretty sure you dont get virtual PC on computers running windows XP. I think it's a thing they bought in for windows 7 which I dont have. There didn't appear to be an emulator available for XP that would be compatible for some of my games. All of the big boxes I have bought are running amazingly well but most wont start on my xp machine. Also I can hide in my room for the evening with a copy of 7th guest !
You can run VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/) on an XP machine. I've done it in the past for OSX and Win95. Brilliant considering it's free.
