Re: Windows Operating System Choice on Vintage Computer
If it's a computer made in the 90s or early 2000s, I'll might have it on either Windows 95 or 98. The other ones don't seem to be great if I want to make a vintage gaming PC, while running old computer games. Unless it was for MS-DOS, I'll rather have it on a separate vintage computer.

My Computer Specs:
Model: Acer Veriton X2631
CPU: Intel Core i5 (4440)
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4600
RAM: 8 GB DDR3
HDD: 2.6 TB (Partitions total)
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Sound: Realtek High Definition Audio

Re: Windows Operating System Choice on Vintage Computer
If its able to, 98 might be best because it's the newest but most stable. Most likely easier to get running than 95 on an actual machine,
This is my signature.

Re: Windows Operating System Choice on Vintage Computer
i would put an NT OS on it. 2000 would be perfect. but if it just HAS to be Dos based, 98
Re: Windows Operating System Choice on Vintage Computer
Depending on specs.
I have an old Toshiba laptop which don't meet the minimum requirements for 95 to i'm forced to use 3.1 on it

Re: Windows Operating System Choice on Vintage Computer
I'm considering that laptop is way too old to be used on any Windows OS. Maybe you should get one that is made for 95 or 98.

This Sucks.
My other computers are too fast (even the Pentium 3)
And this is too slow and can't run Windows 98

Re: Windows Operating System Choice on Vintage Computer
Well I guess maybe you should run Windows 95, if it actually works with your processor.Steve wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2017 9:13 amYes, and the processor of it is way too od to run Virus:The GameNewYorkEagle wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2017 1:55 pmI'm considering that laptop is way too old to be used on any Windows OS.
