Windows 95 inside Windows

[pharma]

If you want to relive the good old days of Windows 95 without using a 20-year-old PC, well, now you can. Windows 95 is now available as an app on Github.
...
It's available not just on Windows systems, but also for Linux and macOS. The downloads range in size from 94.8MB to 129MB, depending on the platform you want to run it on.

The question is, will Microsoft take issue with the app? In case you forgot, Microsoft acquired Github for $7.5 billion earlier this summer. Whether the app stays available remains to be seen. In the meantime, you can grab it here.

thanks for sharing. I downloaded and installed it and I haven't tried yet but if it lets you drag & drop and copy & paste files from your actual OS then that's a total win, 'cos I don't see a different way to play W95 games with this app.

Still, it is great to have Win95 back. It was my first OS ever and I hold it in high regard despite its flaws.

Maybe not, can you install drivers and direct x ?
