(There are workarounds, that allow Win 9x run on modern physical systems, but I won't go into detail here)
So if you're newbie, you should use Windows 98 SE bootable CD.Īdditionally I strongly suggest to limit system RAM to 512 MB for those OSes. Official bootable CD media is starting from 98SE. Most CD-ROMs available for Windows 95/98 are not bootable, which means, that you must boot from DOS floppy, install DOS first and only then install Windows 95/98.
Installation - I won't cover here in detail, except few points. Since this is now became a common request by many, I decided to write a tutorial about Windows 9x (95/98/98SE/Me) usage on VirtualBox.įorenote: Windows 9x is not officially supported by VirtualBox team, which means, that it lacks Guest VM Additions, and it runs slowly, because VirtualBox is not optimized to run Win 9x.ġ.
