You can relive the good old days (yes, 1995 is the good old days) with this bit of nostalgic software that can be run on multiple operating systems including Windows 10.

Of course, many of us recall reinstalling Windows 95 repeatedly, especially if you were or are a gamer. We considered Windows 95 a three-year-plus beta of Windows 98SE when Microsoft finally got it "right."

We also think that the new generation of computer users will enjoy seeing what Windows used to be as it approches the Quadranscentennial celebration. We don't know where we found the word Quadranscentennial, but we did, so there it is.

With Windows 95, you can play with the various apps including Wordpad, phone dialer, MS Paint, and Minesweeper. Best of all they will perform just like you remember.

But other than that it works and is quite fun to roam through a bit of the past.
