Hello everyone, today we're going to take a trip back in time to the mid-90s with Windows 95. Released in 1995, Windows 95 was a major leap forward in personal computing and was a significant departure from the earlier versions of Windows. It introduced many new features, including the Start menu, which became a hallmark of the Windows operating system for years to come. Windows 95 also introduced long file names, plug-and-play hardware support, and the ability to multitask with ease. As we install Windows 95, we can reflect on how much the world had changed since the mid-90s, when personal computers were just starting to become ubiquitous. It's fascinating to think about how much progress has been made in just a few decades, and how much of it can be attributed to the development of user-friendly operating systems like Windows 95. Join us as we explore the past and take a stroll down memory lane with Windows 95. We'll experience the nostalgia of classic software and marvel at how far computing has come since the mid-90s. Let's dive in!
