The suggestion was made to install from floppy. I discovered that to install an OS to a VirtualBox machine, the OS disk needs to autoboot. However, when I put the Windows 95 DVD in, nothing happened. I downloaded VirtualBox and installed it, then installed a Windows 95 virtual machine in the machine manager. My immediate solution (I thought) was to buy a copy of Windows 95 and install it on a virtual machine running under Windows 10. I thought that whatever I might do to install Windows 95 would work as well under Windows 10 as under Windows 7. And yes, I did try all the emulation modes they didn’t help.īecause the free Windows 10 deadline was rapidly coming up, I went ahead and installed it. Unfortunately, when I tried the old discs on it, very few of them would install. This was really nice because I’ve had only a laptop for the last couple of years and I would now have a desktop I could use when the kids weren’t here. The one I bought is a decent used Dell that I got from a reputable local business. My wife finally talked me into buying a new computer so our autistic granddaughter can play the games that she loved to play on the old PC. I don’t remember which OS it was running, but all the old game disks we have say “Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows 98SE”. We used to have an old computer the grand-kids used to play games, and a few months ago it finally bit the dust. I really hope someone has a solution for me. I am in the midst of a crisis (“crisis” meaning I’m really frustrated).
