By coincidence I'm going to be picking up a package over the weekend with the floppy disk version of Windows 95.

Well, I say "the". You have to use 13 floppy disks to install it! 😂

Normally this would be considered a strange purchase, but I have a tendency of buying old machines, and sooner or later I'll pick one up that doesn't have an optical drive.

@bobstechsite The 13-disk set is the upgrade from Windows 3.x, without Internet Explorer.

@arielmt The original Windows 95 didn't come with Internet Explorer at all, you needed to get the "Plus!" add-on pack... Which I don't have! 😅

I don't think this stack of disks will need a pre-existing DOS install to function, but given I picked it up for £10 on eBay I will be mindful of this in case it doesn't work.
