Installing Windows 95
Installing Windows 95
You're looking to run Windows 95 from a CD-ROM on your setup. Since your Pentium 75 has only 32MB RAM and a 120GB hard drive, consider optimizing performance. The CD-ROM won't boot directly due to hardware limitations, but you can use MS-DOS 6.22 floppies to access Windows 95 installation media. Make sure the system is properly configured for older hardware and avoid overloading with large files.
To begin the Windows 95 installation, first install the CD ROM drivers in DOS. You can place them in a directory and modify AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS to include the necessary parameters for automatic loading at startup. The files AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS execute commands during DOS boot, so missing driver instructions won’t load automatically. If they’re not yet included, you can manually add them by typing the required commands. For detailed steps, refer to the provided links.
