Step Back Into The Mid-90s With A Popular OS Wrapped Up.

Windows 95 is the working name for an Electron version of Windows 95, Microsoft's hit operating system that ultimately helped put Windows computers on desks everywhere. It implements almost every feature a Windows 95 user or lover could want

Start me up

Windows 95 comes with all of the apps that made it a success in its heyday, from Minesweeper to Notepad and Paint. The only area where Windows 95 truly staggers is with the Internet: the built-in browser can't load any web pages, and workarounds are few and far between.

New version, old era

Overall, Windows 95 itself has not aged impressively, but this app is an stunning implementation of it in a very simple package that can run on a lot of different devices. Its straightforwardness means it uses as much RAM as a typical Windows 95 computer would have plus extra, and its faithfulness means that it can't do much with the Internet, but for those looking to try out Windows 95 for one reason or another (or none at all), this might just be the way to do it.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
