Building a semi period-correct win95 machine. (OSR2 despite the images showing RTM) ASUS P2B-VE with pentium II 400, SB16, NVDIA FX5200 128bit (very odd combo) Planned on upgrading to pIII 850 but P2B does NOT support, may get another motherboard. Runs Unreal, Quake, and Half-Life very well.
planning on making this a youtube vid and will update and post here. this is the first time I have ever installed 95 without needing a cpu patch. With these specs I "should" use 98 but am using 95 for its glory and already have a 98pc.
What is that one Windows 9x game you played that you never see anyone else talk about? One of mine would be Close Combat.
Me and my father founded today this, it is rare? (We are from colombia)
It was with an book
Fun Fact: The Windows 95 Logo Key was introduced with the Microsoft Natural Keyboard
This iconic ergonomic keyboard came out in 1994 and also introduced the context menu key.
Aside from opening the start menu, Windows 95 introduced a couple of shortcuts around the Windows key, for example Win+E to open explorer.

Chicago (aka Windows 95) - Pre-Release Software Development Kit I have had packed away since it was released in 1993. Possibly goes with the 73g build of Chicago. No other details on the CD or jewel case.

Anyone know where to get ie1 for win95 I've read it came with early versions of plus, but both images of 95 comesnwith a plus folder with ie2.0 pre installed osr 0 and release A
I've built a win 95 retro web lab and in want to test ie5
Also its impressive how long opera supported Win 95, it works up to at lease version 9 on osr0 no less
Also just annoying I can't make stand alone copies of ie3+ which means I will need multiple VMs for those
WSL9x - Windows 9x subsystem for Linux
Runs a modern Linux kernel cooperatively inside Windows 95, 98, or ME. This setup lets both operating systems run together, so you don’t need to reboot into Linux
Who else grew up playing Silent Thunder?
Loved this game growing up but I don’t know anyone who has played it or seen anyone talk about it
My Android Windows 95 Theme
Delete if not allowed, but I just wanted to show off my Windows 95 android theme I put together using an app called "Launcher95" and some extra icons I downloaded. I got the icons for my text and phone apps from https://oldwindowsicons.tumblr.com/ (I'm not affiliated with either the app or the Tumblr account, just a nostalgia-lover). Just didn't know what sub to post it in 😂
