Gone and forgotten...not really


That was 14 years ago when Windows 95 became popular and technology changed from then onwards. Then yesterday the Boss showed up in the IT Office bringing his copy of Windows 95. He said he wanted a machine that has Windows 95 on it because he has this game which he bought that would only run on this platform. I was surprised I never expect that I would be building a machine with Windows 95 as the operating system. Then I started to recall on how to do it. The CD is not bootable so I have to download a boot cd for Windows 95 then check some forums. It says that Windows 95 cannot be installed on newer machines. It can only run on machines with Pentium 1 or lower architectures 486 or 386). So the only option I have right now is to do a virtualization using virtualbox. Hopefully the Boss would hand me over this game and will try to run it via compatibility mode on Windows XP.
