Installation

After Windows 98, came the Windows 98 SE. Here, SE stands for Second edition and was released on the 5th of May in the year 1999. Both Windows 98, as well as the Windows 98 SE operating systems, were supported by Microsoft till the 30th of June 2002. Buyers could, however, get extended support till the 11th of July 2006. I got an alert saying Trojan.Agent on my anti viruses, and the file name is QEMU/Host Services x64.exe. After a quick research I found out this is a virtual machine of sorts. I have never installed anything like that on my computer, and I got an alert saying I have a virus on my pc so I took an educated guess that I was hacked.

Windows will be slow until you install VMware tools onto your VM. Those are the Windows drivers for the simulated machine. In VMware server there's a menu option to install them.

Recent versions since then even up to 3.1 will either not install or will not run 95 or 98 at all. I have tried every combination of options like isapc or no isapc, cpu pentium or cpu as 486. Tried different memory configurations, but they just don't work anymore.

Windows 95 in QEMU can be both nastalgic and fun for someone who wants to remember the 90's, or use a program that only runs in this operating system.

winworldpc.com supplies many iso files for various versions of Windows 95. You can download a file here: https://winworldpc.com/product/windows-95/osr-3

This iso file is not bootable so you need to use a bootable floppy disk image file. This is the file I will use in this tutorial: https://winworldpc.com/product/microsoft-windows-boot-disk/95-osr2x

Note: the information on this page was made with QEMU 2.10 in mind. If you are using a different version you might see different results.

Using

Suggested command-line:

If Windows 95 crashes on you consider it normal. It was unfortunately never very stable. While using it I experienced the usual blue screen of death and reboots in the middle of software installation. It will make you apreciate what we have now.

Issues

Networking does not work.
Using newer versions of the x86 processor via the '-cpu' option may lead to compatibility issues. Consider making a backup of your hard drive image file before experimenting.
